Helping regular people navigate the health care industry is a ministry (and a podcast)

Choosing your health insurance, going to the doctor, paying
unexpected medical bills: these are facts of life that no one would
describe as fun. But on his podcast “An Arm and a Leg,” Dan
Weissmann explores the U.S. health care system and its costs for
consumers in an entertaining—and empowering—way. This week, we talk
to Dan about how to hold your own when you are slapped with an
exorbitant medical bill, and ask: Why is the health care system so
confusing?  In Signs of the Times, we briefly mark the
occasion of the election of the second Catholic president in U.S.
history (and celebrate the controversial song he quoted in his
acceptance speech). Next, the Vatican published its
much-anticipated report on the investigation into former cardinal
Theodore McCarrick. We bring on Colleen Dulle of America’s “Inside
the Vatican” podcast to breakdown the top takeaways from the
report. Who knew what about McCarrick’s abuse—and should we trust
an internal investigation, conducted by those with the most at
stake? Links from the show: Joe Biden will be the second Catholic
president. Here’s what you need to know about his faith. “On
