Congressman Troy Carter joins the show to discuss his opposition to the Big Beautiful Bill, calling it a “big ugly bill.” He emphasized bipartisan concern, citing a rare joint editorial by Louisiana hospital leaders and unanimous state legislative resolutions urging Congress to protect Medicaid. Carter warned of severe consequences, including rural hospital closures, reduced access to care, and increased emergency room strain. He also highlighted his bipartisan bill to protect VA facilities from flooding and criticized proposed cuts to disease research and weather satellite programs, advocating for smarter, targeted reforms rather than broad, harmful reductions in essential public services.
