What the Republican changes to Medicaid mean for all Coloradans, and what could still change as the Senate takes up Trump’s spending bill. Then, psilocybin healing centers are about to open in Colorado, but some potential patients can’t use them legally – particularly military veterans.

This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Bazi Kanani and Haylee May. It’s edited and produced by Mateo Schimpf. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
