Dan Weissmann is a veteran investigative journalist and the executive producer of An Arm and a Leg, a narrative podcast dedicated to decoding the financial complexities of the American healthcare system. Drawing on decades of experience with WBEZ Chicago and NPR’s Marketplace, Weissmann bridges the gap between policy analysis and consumer advocacy through his 'Self-Defense' series, which provides actionable tactics for contesting medical debt. His work is supported by an editorial partnership with KFF Health News, ensuring high standards of investigative rigor. Recently, Weissmann achieved a significant milestone by scaling the show’s First Aid Kit newsletter into a weekly resource to address the ongoing Medicaid unwinding crisis. By platforming experts like Ron Lieber and Marshall Allen, he transforms dense topics like facility fees and medicine monopolies into empowering stories of patient victories. Weissmann’s reporting serves as a critical bridge for audiences navigating the intersection of personal finance and public health policy.
