CareTalk is weekly on Mondays at 4:30 pm ET, a people focused call-in show and podcast. Our experts answer your American health care and health insurance questions on Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, private insurance, and more. We help you work through our broken health care system in the United States, and talk about larger health care issues and reforms from how to fight medical bills to lowering the cost of medical care.

Our host Laura Packard is the founder of Health Care Voices, organizing adults with serious medical conditions and health care activists across the country as a political force. She is a stage 4 cancer survivor and health care advocate in Denver, Colorado.
