In episode 21, “Mothers for Medicare for All – Part 1,” my guest Kristen Grimm, founder of Mothers for Medicare for All, describes the struggles she and her family endured as they fought to get medical care for her son who suffers from a rare medical condition and has had 24 surgeries in his lifetime. Ms. Grimm describes how her experiences led her to support Medicare for All.
Ms. Grimm’s story is riveting and powerful. Please do not miss this episode.
In Part 2, to be released on Oct 15th, the conversation continues with Ms. Grimm as she explains her decision to start Mothers for Medicare for All and her plans for the organization.
