Professor Layton disagrees with some progressive arguments about health coverage, but agrees that taking medical insurance away from people is generally a bad idea. And that's exactly what Trump's "Big Beautiful" (Or Big Ugly) bill does. Prof. Layton also has some interesting angles on how to improve Medicaid --- including letting nurse practitioners see patients without doctors' supervision. Give this lively discussion a listen!
