The Common Good 10/03/18

Over 60% of all bankruptcies in America are because of medical debt.  And of those bankruptcies, 78% of those folks crazy enough, have medical insurance.  Most everyone knows someone who could use a little help with their medical debt.  Joe's first guest this week is Jared Walker, the founder and president of Dollar For, a local non-profit that is working to help folks pay off their medical debt.  More information available at www.DollarFor.org.
