In this episode of In Session with Rep. Rita, I sit down with two incredible guests—Dr. Isiah Cochran and Dr. B.J. Brunious—to discuss the very real, very urgent impacts of Medicaid cuts in Florida.

We cover everything from what these cuts mean for patients, providers, and hospitals.

Whether you're a parent, a healthcare worker, or just someone who cares about the well-being of your neighbors, this conversation will explain how policy decisions made in Tallahassee affect lives across the state.

We’re not just talking stats; we're talking stories.

A Legislative Recap, including a bit of an overview on the budget.

Hey y’all — and welcome to the very first episode of In Session with Rep. Rita! I’m Representative Rita Harris, and I started this podcast because I believe you deserve more than soundbites and headlines. You deserve a seat at the table, a clear view of what’s really happening in Tallahassee, and a voice in the conversations that shape our lives.

This show isn’t just about politics — it’s about people. It’s about pulling back the curtain, breaking things down in plain language, and making sure the decisions that affect our communities aren’t made in silence or behind closed doors. So whether you’re tuning in from your car, your couch, or while walking the dog — I’m glad you’re here.
