In this episode, Trina and Lani break down the major impact of the $5.3 trillion bill currently being passed.

Key points discussed include: Medicaid Cuts: The bill proposes $880 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade, potentially eliminating coverage for over 8 million Americans. Work Requirements: New work requirements for Medicaid recipients could lead to millions losing coverage. State Impacts: States that fund Medicaid for undocumented immigrants may face penalties, affecting coverage for many. Rural Healthcare: Rural hospitals, heavily dependent on Medicaid, may face service cuts, closures, or layoffs.
