On this show we cover hunger in America, including exploring how it came to be that 1 in 5 kids in our nation are experiencing food scarcity. Next, we find out what sparked a leading activist to fight for women, and to fight for paid FAMILY leave.  After that, we hear the lowdown from the front lines of fighting poverty. And last, we get the inside scoop on what's going on with the Affordable Care Act, Healthcare.gov, and how it can help you.
