Congress is back & getting ready to cut your healthcare? w/ Bobby Kogan, Center for American Progress

Congress is back from their break this week, and their work resumes on the budget. What cuts are they looking at making to our health care, and why? On #CareTalk live, Bobby Kogan from Center for American Progress talks about the budget reconciliation process with show host, stage 4 cancer survivor and health care advocate Laura Packard from Health Care Voices.

Also Louise Norris from healthinsurance.org, and Diane Archer from Just Care & Social Security Works answer your American health insurance and health care questions on Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, private insurance and more.
