Summary

What's actually safe to eat right now? And what happens when we gut the public health agencies whose job is to catch food borne parasites before they reach your plate? Dr. Janet Krommes of Doctors for America explains two outbreaks hitting America's food supply now - the cyclospora outbreak linked to lettuce, and the salmonella outbreak tied to jalapeños - and the bigger story behind them in this #CareTalk episode with show host, cancer survivor, and health care advocate Laura Packard from Health Care Voices . Plus Diane Archer from Just Care answers your American health insurance and health care questions on Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, private insurance and more. This episode has more about prior authorization, and how insurers deny your needed care. New episodes of Care Talk every Tuesday, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
