What’s wrong with health care?

Season 2 Episode 20

What’s wrong with health care?

May is National Nurses Month, and this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™ is all about health care. Jean and Erin Smith, the director of estate planning at Edelman Financial Engines, answer an email from a nurse who wants clarity on naming a health care power of attorney. Then, Edelman Financial Engines wealth planner Isabel Barrow joins Jean to break down different options for health care coverage, including Medicare, and ways a financial planner can help reduce costs. Later, Jean interviews hospice physician and author Jordan Grumet, aka Doc G, about physician burnout and what physicians, nurses and others working in health care can do to lessen their stress and develop new income streams to supplement their income.

 

Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners.  That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses.  The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).
