One of the great things about the @propublica model: anyone can republish their work, for free. It means a giant scoop with a big local/regional import can easily get in front of the audience that most needs to see it.

I've long wanted to do a story that captures the particular desperation of being on hold with a health insurance company. This brilliant episode produced by @gabrielleberbey nails it. Listen, get angry, get informed about the tools you might not know are already in your toolbox.
NEW: This is the story of one couple’s long fight with their health insurer — and the little-known tool that helped them finally win.

Donald Trump Jr takes a financial stake in a company…
3 months later, the Pentagon gives it $620 million…
after Trump’s White House told them to…

This is corruption.

The women argued that compelling them to have C-sections violated their rights to make medical decisions. Hospital staff said their medical decisions threatened the health of the fetus. It would be up to the courts to decide which one mattered more. propublica.org/article/flori…
