The Physician Taking Her Fight From the Exam Room to Washington

Dr. Neelam Perry spent over two decades practicing internal medicine and treating HIV/AIDS patients before a personal health crisis changed the direction of her life. After surviving seven strokes and fighting to access a costly medication she says her insurance wouldn't approve, she made a decision: leave medicine and try to fix the system from the inside.In this conversation, Dr. Perry talks with Jelani Gonzalez about her path from the exam room to the campaign trail, her 2024 congressional run, the election-integrity concerns she says she witnessed firsthand, and what's driving her current U.S. Senate campaign in Florida. The two also dig into her positions on federal power, healthcare policy, and where she stands with the current administration.This is a conversation about resilience, conviction, and what happens when a healer decides the healthiest thing she can do is challenge the system itself.Send us Fan MailThe Canadian Money RoadmapPlain-English money advice for Canadians on investing, retirement, taxes and more.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify
