Episode 17: Pills, Prescriptions, and Healthcare: A US vs. UK Comparison
01/20/25 • 48 min
What happens when two pharmacists—one from the UK and one from the US—debate healthcare systems? We dive into free prescriptions, soaring drug prices, and the cheeky reality of weight-loss meds like semaglutide. Tune in as we compare, contrast, and maybe complain a bit about the pros and cons of healthcare on both sides of the pond with Anisha Patel.
