S1.E9- Why Medicaid Cuts Matter to Everyone


Listen Later

This week, we unpack the sweeping new law formerly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill—now signed into law by President Trump. While it promises tax breaks and rural relief, it delivers historic Medicaid cuts, stricter eligibility requirements, and new barriers to care that could leave 12 million Americans uninsured. Jamie and Melissa Anne break down what this means for nurses, patients, and entire communities—arguing that these changes will harm everyone, not just those on public assistance. Spoiler: taking away healthcare isn’t a savings plan—it’s a public health crisis in the making.
