What’s going on with America’s budget? The House and the Senate have different versions, conservative politicians want to strip health care from millions of Americans to pay for tax cuts for the rich, and without agreement by March 14th the government will shut down. Margarida Jorge of Health Care for America Now talks about President Trump & Congress’ budget reconciliation crisis and how it threatens our health care.
Plus experts including show host, stage 4 cancer survivor and health care advocate Laura Packard from Health Care Voices, Diane Archer from Just Care and Social Security Works, and Louise Norris of healthinsurance.org answer your American health insurance and health care questions on Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, private insurance and more.
This episode includes what to do when receiving a large hospital bill, can insurers deny you a Medicare supplemental (aka Medigap) policy based on pre-existing conditions, and what to do if your insurer denies you a medical screening test.
