607: Big Sandy

Medicare Payment Data, AMA Injunctions, and CIA Authors

For the first time in 35 years, Medicare released payment data revealing that some doctors received over $20 million in annual reimbursements. The hosts highlight a detail from The Blaze noting that the American Medical Association (AMA) had an injunction in place since 1979 to keep this data secret. Additionally, they discuss the late author Peter Matthiessen, who admitted that his founding of the "Paris Review" served as a cover for his work as a CIA agent.
