Crain's Daily Gist - A podcast by Crain's Chicago Business

Crain’s health care reporter Katherine Davis talks with host Amy Guth about how some hospitals are pitching medical credit cards to patients facing costly treatments— a move that may protect hospital finances but can also leave patients with hefty, high-interest debt. Plus: O’Hare sells $1.8 billion of debt in year’s largest airport deal; U.S. employers add 315,000 jobs as more workers join labor force; Ford, GM, Rivian issue safety recalls affecting nearly 400,000 U.S. vehicles; and passengers with a flight delay or cancelation can now check a new online dashboard to see if airlines are offering meals or hotels.
