Proof that Health Insurers Screw You Deliberately with T. Christian Miller and Patrick Rucker
Health insurance companies aren’t in the business of keeping people healthy—they’re in the business of making money. And that means they’ll go to extreme lengths to deny valid healthcare claims, sometimes with devastating, even fatal, consequences for the people they insure. We all know the system is broken, but journalists T. Christian Miller and Patrick Rucker have uncovered just how deep the rot goes in their exposé Not Medically Necessary. This week, Adam sits down with Miller and Rucker to discuss their shocking findings and whether there’s any hope of escaping the nightmare of for-profit healthcare.SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconoverSEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on:» Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577» Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJAbout Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.

Trump’s Attacks on Trans Rights with Chase Strangio
In recent years, despite trans people making up a relatively small percentage of the population, there has been an outsized and deeply harmful wave of anti-trans backlash. Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign was fueled in large part by anti-trans rhetoric, and he wasted no time acting on his hateful promises in his first days back in office. This week, Adam speaks with Chase Strangio, Co-Director of the ACLU’s LGBT & HIV Project and the first trans man to argue before the Supreme Court, to discuss the relentless assault on trans rights in America—and how these attacks ultimately impact everyone.SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconoverSEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on:» Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577» Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJAbout Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.

Who’s Really to Blame for the LA Fires
(In addition to your weekly Factually! episode, this week we're bringing you a monologue from Adam. This short, researched monologue originally aired on the Factually! YouTube page, but we are sharing audio versions of these monologues with our podcast audience as well. Please enjoy, and stay tuned for your regularly scheduled episode of Factually!) The Los Angeles fires were not preventable, virtually nothing could have been done to prevent the devastation. While it's natural for people to seek someone or something to blame—often focusing on the response to the fire—the truth is that the root cause runs so much deeper than that.Visit https://groundnews.com/factually to stay fully informed, see through biased media and get all sides of every story.

American Self-Reliance is a Toxic Myth with Adam Chandler
The phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" actually started as a joke—because, let’s face it, it’s physically impossible. So how did this absurd notion become one of the most unshakable ideas in American culture? The truth is, the ideals of self-reliance and hustle have always been more myth than reality. This week, Adam sits down with Adam Chandler, author of 99% Perspiration, to explore how the myth of hard work and hustle culture has been weaponized to keep the rich richer, while the rest of us are left struggling in a system rigged against us.
