Wellness Wednesday: Cachexia, Insurance Cancellation, News Roundup

11:00

As winter approaches, the couch seems like a cozy place, especially when you don't feel well. But it's possible that your recliner is actually the cause, not the cure, for what ails you. This hour, we'll discuss the toxic chemicals in our furniture. We'll also get the latest on an untreatable side effect responsible for one in four cancer deaths and tackle disappearing health coverage.

  • Anna Gorman, Kaiser Health News senior correspondent
  • Dr. Jon Swartzberg, Chair, Editorial Board, UC Berkeley School of Public Health Wellness Letter
