Hey, first: This is a GREAT time to support us — right now, every gift gets matched! Click here to support us.

A few weeks ago, a listener sent us a note with a link to a news article about a new resolution that had recently been adopted by the American Medical Association – the largest group representing doctors in the US.

The resolution said: hospitals need to do more to guarantee charity care to patients who qualify. Legislators and regulators should make them.

Our listener was the author of that resolution, and he told us he first learned about charity care through this podcast.

His name is Joey Ballard and he’s an internal medicine resident at the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC).

We talked with him about his early organizing as a medical student, bringing the resolution to the AMA, and the optimism he feels bringing the fight for charity care to the hospital he works at now.

Here’s a transcript of this episode.

And again... we’d love for you to support this show.
