In episode 2, Suzy and Mimi discuss their experiences with healthcare systems in the US and France, focusing on dental care, the differences between single and multi-payer systems, and the impact of government involvement in healthcare pricing. They explore the costs associated with healthcare, the reimbursement process, and the collective responsibility of citizens in funding healthcare services. The conversation also touches on the simplicity of the French healthcare system and the challenges of accessing mental health services. They share personal anecdotes about their medical journeys, the challenges of finding specialists, and the importance of urgent versus non-urgent care.
