Health Care & The Presidential Campaign; Drug Testing New Mothers — Your Call 10am PT

On today’s Your Call Media Roundtable, I’ll guest host a discussion on the role of health care in this year’s presidential campaign. Even though health care costs are a major concern for voters, the campaigns and the media have spent relatively little time covering it.

Joining us to help explain why is Jeremy Lindenfeld, a reporter and local news fellow covering climate change & inequality for Capital and Main.

Then we’ll discuss a shocking new investigative report from Mother Jones: “She Ate a Poppy Seed Salad Just Before Giving Birth. Then They Took Her Baby Away.” It exposes how hospitals across the U.S. are separating parents from their children over false positive drug test results. Why is this practice happening?

Award-winning investigative reporter and staff writer for The Marshall Project Shoshana Walter will discuss.
