Find out about the myths and facts of Medicare when Dr. Thad Woodard talks to the head of Alaska’s Medicare Information Office, Judith Bendersky and Robin Schmidt from the State of Alaska’s Medical Information Office this afternoon on Line One: Your Health Connection.

More appearances by the Bradner Bros would be great (Tim or Brad or both together). They have their ear to the ground which is quite enlightening. But don’t bump Paul.
Also, a longer show may make sense at this point, lots of Alaska/Anchorage issues to discuss which need more time/opinion to devote to. Keep it up!
