70percentcoverage

The 70percentcoverage podcast is a joint project between Nisha Patel and Medgine Mathurin, illuminating the complicated aspects of living with chronic illness and disability. Each episode will detail new stories and feature guests living with disability and their struggles navigating a flawed care system. Who are the 70 percent of the people covered? Who falls through the cracks? What does a 70 percent coverage system mean for our overall access to well-being? Stay tuned as we explore stories from long-time patients and advocates.
