America built its healthcare system around the promise of rugged individualism: work hard, take responsibility, and take care of yourself. But illness does not care how responsible you are.

In this American Power Extra, the hosts examine what happens when a fundamentally collective problem is treated as a personal burden. The United States spends more than twice as much per person on healthcare as many peer nations, yet Americans live shorter lives, millions remain uninsured or underinsured, and medical debt continues to push families toward financial ruin.
