On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we're discussing the impacts of repealing the Affordable Care Act on tens of millions of Americans, especially low-income populations.
Later in the show, we'll discuss a Los Angeles Times’ investigation that found California kept prison factories open as COVID-19 spread. People like Robbie Hall worked for pennies to $1 an hour, making products like masks and hand sanitizer that were sold to state agencies for millions of dollars.
Guests:
Trudy Lieberman, award-winning health journalist, contributor to the Columbia Journalism Review, and contributing editor to the Center for Health Journalism
Kiera Feldman, investigative reporter at the Los Angeles Times
