Coverage Denied: How Insurers Drive Inequality
Show: The House of Pod
Kaveh sits down with author/political scientist Miranda Yaver and ER doc Dr. Seth Trueger to dig into the broken machinery of insurance coverage denials in America and how the system is designed to say no.
They discuss how insurers use prior authorization and claim denials not as isolated mistakes — but as a structural feature of the system. Discussion includes who gets denied, who fights back, why fewer than 1% of denied claims are ever appealed, and what you can do if it happens to you.
