Hey, first! If you value what we do, we need your support to keep it going in 2026.

We have SO much work ahead, and we can’t do it without you.

Every little bit counts. Here’s where you can chip in. Thank you SO much!

Our listeners have been teaming up on an incredible project – kicked off earlier this year by a med student named Thomas Sanford.

The idea: create a list of reliable resources to help with medical expenses and avoid debt, and circulate it where people might find it useful, like hospital waiting rooms.

In this episode, we hear how that project is ready to level up – and how you can bring it to people in your community.

Here’s how to help:

Send this link to anyone you think might need it: armandalegshow.com/help

Or go here to print it out, post it, pass it around, customize it for your community, or join with other volunteers: armandalegshow.com/helpers

An Arm and a Leg is a podcast about why health care costs so freaking much and what we can (maybe) do about it.

If you’ve ever been surprised by a medical bill, you’re in good company. But as our team of seasoned journalists has learned from years of reporting — you’re not always helpless. We don’t have all the answers, but we’ll offer you tools and big picture insights with plenty of humor and heart.

An Arm and a Leg is co-produced with KFF Health News and distributed in partnership with KUOW.
