I didn't even think about the fact that they can show us more about what happened at Grey Matter!! We're currently in the last season of Better Call Saul and it's far better than I'd hoped!!

Correction they spell it Gray Matter.

This man is a Marvel.

Fantastic! Always a pleasure to catch a Vince Gilligan interview (by the way, the podcast referenced is incredible). One note, however, about the goofy universal health care meme. I hate this stupid point, and I wish someone as informed and reasonable as Rich Eisen would have avoided it. Though Walter White's journey is about so much more than his particular health care package, the show, and all of the unfolding of the moral complications, would have existed even in a country with universal health care. Walt was a longtime public high school chemistry teacher; his health insurance was not at issue. He started cooking meth for reasons that had *nothing* to do with his health coverage. He wanted to leave money for his family (last time I checked, so-called universal health care doesn't leave bags of dough behind for one's survivors), and, once he elected for high-risk treatment and eventual surgery with, in Marie's words, "rock star" oncologist Dr. Delcavoli, he was out of network and had to pay out-of-pocket. There's no universal health care system in the world that would have simply covered anything akin to Dr. Delcavoli. That's way beyond what most programs provide. Enough of this stupid, reductive meme: universal health care means no Breaking Bad. That's just nonsense.

The Gray Matter episode shows us what would have happened if Walter lived in a country with universal healthcare. He had the opportunity to get free healthcare from Gretchen and Elliot and he turned it down. That episode proved that it was never about helping his family, it was really always about his ego.

Vince is a humble guy

Look at Rich!

Hilarious he gives it away with what he doesn’t say

_Better Call Saul_ is modern Shakespeare.

Wow..interesting hearing that Aaron Paul's character was almost killed off after the 1st season..thank goodness that never transpired..

This sit down format with Rich is so weird to watch.

He would have been dead before he got seen by the proper doctor in a universal healthcare country

If you truly believe that, you’ve bought propaganda. The waiting times are not what you’ve been led to believe. Universal healthcare is wildly popular for a reason among those that have it. The number one cause of bankruptcy in America is medical bills, and that’s a massive moral failure. Millions of Americans have died of treatable disease because they couldn’t afford the cure. The private insurance industry funds politicians to oppose universal healthcare at all costs because they’re making billions off of the suffering of the nation.
