William Brangham:

One big concern is whether employers, schools, and communities will require workers to take unpaid sick leave.

Roughly 25 percent of American workers have no sick days. In some lower-wage industries, that percentage is significantly higher. Another concern, those who get sick and need care could face hefty medical bills.

We look at this with two people who know these issues well.

Joseph Leitmann-Santa Cruz is executive director of Capital Area Asset Builders. They are a nonprofit that works with low-and moderate-income families in the Washington, D.C., region. And Sabrina Corlette, she is the co-director of the Center on Health Insurance reforms at Georgetown University.

Welcome to you both.
