Abdul and Katelyn catch up on a harrowing week in public health, after Republicans passed Trump’s mega bill. They discuss:
New work requirements for Medicaid and SNAP beneficiaries
Why rural hospitals risk closure due to the upcoming changes to Medicaid
New renewal requirements for people who buy health insurance on the Affordable Care Act marketplaces
A new high in measles cases, which now jeopardize our “elimination status” distinction
A recent court ruling that halts RFK Jr’s plans to restructure HHS
Then Abdul talks to Dr. Andres Lopez from the Coalition of Communities of Color about their organization's innovative work in community data collection.
