Fighting a disease and a health care system

As America’s health care system is not being spared in policy shake-ups from the very top, Equal Time takes a look at one case and what it says about disparities in health care — and why that matters. In “Transplant: A Memoir,” the resilient Bernardine Watson takes us on her journey, a perilous one even with support from doctors and family. The nonfiction writer and poet has focused on social policy research around youth and community issues during her career. She joins Equal Time to talk about her experiences, and why challenges remain.
