Mapping Pathways Podcast: PEP Talk

Ready or not, ObamaCare is coming, and it's going to help a lot of people obtain health care coverage, especially those who earn low wages and live with HIV/AIDS. Perhaps the greatest resource for these individuals and millions of others is Medicaid.

Many states are expanding their Medicaid programs to cover more people, and they're making this form of public health insurance more accessible; however, many states aren't expanding.

Listen to co-hosts Suraj Madoori and Lucy Baglin discuss the ins and outs of Medicaid expansion in this episode of Unwrapping ObamaCare!

Unwrapping ObamaCare: Health Care Marketplaces

Lucy Baglin and Suraj Madoori, cohosts of Unwrapping ObamaCare, received an email from a listener who saw gaps in local conversations about the coming changes to our health care system. Instead of responding to the listener by email, they invited him to their studio, so he could share his consumer-level perspective and offer insight to other people with HIV, who will be eligible for health insurance on the Marketplace.
