Episode Description

Universal healthcare may be a controversial issue for some, but not for author Deborah Copaken. In her new memoir, Ladyparts, Deborah shares how her personal and medical history were only made more challenging by the fact that she did not consistently have insurance, despite being a New York Times bestselling author with an illustrious career. Using her own body as a metaphor for how women are treated in the American healthcare system, Deborah takes an unflinching look at the industry's often insurmountable hurdles and the physical toll they take.
