New Year, new health insurance? Amy’s finally getting that free boob job people are always talking about, but does she even want it? And hey—you know what else has no co-pay? Your letters! We want to hear about your insurance woes. In hair news, Stef’s contemplating wigs while Amy’s reunited with her long lost barber. An e-mail tease named Chad offers up his list of ways to support folks with MBC, and after losing a friend to ALS, Stef gently reminds us that support for anyone with a life-limiting illness isn’t a one-and-done. Let’s talk about medical aid in dying as a human right. The Christmas RAT’s last gasp is that benzo deep dive we promised listener Gabrielle. Happy Holidays, ya filthy animals!
