Ep. 790 - Does This Bill Really Protect Medicaid? The Truth Behind the Budget Cuts
Does a new bill actually protect Medicaid—or is it smoke and mirrors? In this powerful episode of America's Heroes Corp Roundtable, Dr. Damon Arnold interviews KFF Health News senior correspondent Julie Appleby about her fact-checked exposé on a House budget resolution that claims to safeguard Medicaid... but doesn’t.
Together, they break down what the bill really says (and doesn’t say), how $880 billion in cuts could only realistically come from Medicaid, and what that means for:
Veterans in long-term care
Seniors in nursing homes
Working families relying on support
State Medicaid programs
The future of U.S. healthcare equity
Julie exposes why PolitiFact rated the congressman's statement as FALSE, and how behind-the-scenes budget maneuvers could change Medicaid as we know it.
