I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor, progressive activist and health care advocate, 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, and executive director of Health Care Voter.

I was the cancer patient blocked by former President Donald Trump on Twitter in 2017 while he was trying to end the Affordable Care Act and strip away my health care. I shared my personal story with President Joe Biden in primetime at the Democratic National Convention in 2020. I’ve done several national health care bus tours sharing my story, and 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.
