REBROADCAST: The Role of Cross-Racial Solidarity in a Time of Protest

During this time of civil unrest in America, many people are calling for dismantling racism. Much of the conversation frames the conflict as between a Black minority and a white majority. The current uprising is sparking conversations about how other groups of color can show solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Part of that work, experts say, involves confronting division and anti-Blackness much more broadly. In this hour, we explore what cross-racial solidarity means in America.see more

Getting a colonoscopy may not be at the top of most people's wish lists, but the routine procedure could help catch colon cancer in the early stages. According to KQED?s PriceCheck, a crowd-sourced reporting project, the price of a colonoscopy in the Bay Area ranges from $1,000 to $5000. Although the Affordable Care Act mandates that recommended preventative procedures be covered at no cost to the patient, some consumers may still be getting billed. Join us as we discuss the varying costs associated with colonoscopies.
