🚑📄 EPISODE 157: INSURANCE IS TERRIFYING 📄🚑

What’s scarier than ghosts, cults, or cosmic madness? 👉 Insurance. This episode, we tackle the true horror of prior authorizations, denied claims, medical debt, and a healthcare system that somehow finds a way to say “have you tried waiting until Monday?” 😱 👁️ Horror in Real Life: • The UnitedHealthcare / Luigi Mangione case • Why claims are often denied by default • How AI is increasingly making life-or-death decisions • Why medical debt remains the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. • And why being “in-network” is basically a haunted house with contracts 🎬 This week’s films: 🪦 Macabre (1958) — complete with William Castle literally insuring the audience in case they died of fright 📚 In the Mouth of Madness — Lovecraftian apocalypse, metafiction, and Sam Neill losing his mind (again) 🧠 Plus: • Whatcha Been Watchin’, Bitch?! • A new game: Policy Plot Twist • And the reminder that horror doesn’t always wear a mask—it sometimes wears a badge 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. 💀 Support us on Patreon + grab merch at frigay13.com/support ⭐ Leave a review & tell a friend! #FriGay13 #InsuranceIsTerrifying #HorrorPodcast #HorrorInRealLife #MedicalHorror #WilliamCastle #JohnCarpenter #QueerPodcasts #HealthcareIsScary
