Do you know what happens to people when they die in poverty and estranged from family? We talk to writer and advocate Amy Shea about her book, "Too Poor to Die: The Hidden Realities of Dying in the Margins," in which she looks at how society treats poor, homeless and marginalized people in life, and how that connects to their outcomes when they die. We also chat about a resurgence of anti-poverty laws in the Bay Area and beyond.
