Are we ready for universal health coverage? On the next Your Call we discuss the status of the health care reform effort. President Obama's Wednesday evening press conference is his attempt to reinvigorate a wavering Congress. But what happens if everyone gets a health insurance card? Are there enough primary care doctors? Would more healthcare mean better outcomes for patients? We'll speak with Anthony Iton, director of the Alameda County Public Health Department, and take your calls. Send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org or join us live at 11 a.m. How do we get from better healthcare to better health? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:

Iton appeared in "Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick?," a four-part PBS series about how social factors - economic status, race, neighborhood conditions - can be more powerful predictors of health and life expectancy than biology or even smoking.
