Also agree with other reviewers that anyone choosing to listen to a podcast like this probably has a basic knowledge of health care/policy so basic terms and concepts don’t need to be explained.

I love Pulsecheck (from Politico) and was hoping this new Pod would strike a similar balance of educating newbies and wonks alike!
