Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Price of Privacy, HIV Infants & Major Healthcare Changes
Is privacy becoming a luxury? What's the future of healthcare in the US? And have we found a cure for HIV in infants?
By Madeleine Brand • • 52m ListenA baby born with HIV in Long Beach no longer has any trace of the disease after starting a rigorous treatment when she was only four hours old. We talk to a doctor who consulted on the case. Plus, one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act says health care as we know it will be gone in 10 years. We also find out what’s happening with the L.A. Fire Department and its recent troubles. We talk about why privacy is becoming a luxury good, and how 12 Years a Slave got one professor to look back at California’s role in the slave trade.
