I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor, progressive digital consultant, health care advocate, small business owner, founder of Health Care Voices and Voices of Health Care Action, non-profit grassroots organizations for adults with serious medical conditions and health care activists.

I host Care Talk, my own consumer health care call-in show Mondays at 4:30pm ET, where experts answer your health care & insurance questions.

On my channel I explain how health care works (or doesn't work) in America, Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, the high cost of prescription drugs and so much more. Subscribe for more updates.

Ultra-processed foods make up more than 50% of Americans' calories. That’s a problem, and changing dyes in Froot Loops doesn’t fix it. Tell your nearest HHS Secretary. #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain

Whoever needs to hear this: Fries are still fries. They didn't become magically healthy because they are cooked in beef tallow instead of canola or peanut oil. #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain

Whoever needs to hear this: Coke is still pop. Ultra processed soda isn't suddenly healthy because you replaced high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar. #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain
