America Are We Ready?
About the Program
WNYC’s Brian Lehrer hosts 3 live national call-ins with Marketplace senior Washington correspondent Kimberly Adams. Together with guests and listener calls they’ll open a national conversation, across divides, about what the November election means for some of the biggest pocket-book issues Americans face today: Healthcare costs, Housing costs and the Care Economy. We’ll hear the stories that shape our points of view, ask questions, and learn what the candidates’ probable policies could mean for things like medicine bills, the rent, and childcare.
