Real quick: Now's the best time to support this show! Thanks to a few super-star Arm and a Leg listener/donors, your donation is matched two for one right now. Here's the link to donate.
Ok, now: We’ve got a mini-episode for you today, a four-minute coda to the epic story we brought you in December.
It features a last tip for anyone who might want to ask a hospital about charity care — which, as we learned from these recent stories, is most of us.
And it comes with my big thanks for being part of this show’s community this year. You’re our reason for being, and our best sources.
You’re also our biggest source of financial support, so I will ask one more time to pitch in now if you can.
Thank you so much! We'll catch you in 2024.
