About this audiobook
In the city of Hayward, California, options for health care are limited. But officials there came up with an innovative solution: integrating a new fire station with medical services to take advantage of its prime location and other conveniences. Special correspondent Kathleen McCleery reports on how the experiment is working and concerns about the fate of Medicaid.
