Cross Section is the official podcast of the Section on Neonatal Perinatal Medicine of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The Neonatal Section represents more than 3,500 neonatologists and clinicians who are committed to caring for the nation’s smallest and most vulnerable patients. In Cross Section, we hear first-hand from some of those individuals about their work.

In This week's episode, Dr. Stephen Patrick from Vanderbilt provides a primer on Medicaid, CHIP and the Affordable Care Act and their relevance for babies.
