Care Is a Right: Congresswoman Sarah McBride on Grief, Courage, and Change Episode 7

Politics is personal—and few people embody that more than Congresswoman Sarah McBride. In this episode of My Body. My Pod., Rep. McBride joins Mini to share how caregiving for her late husband, Andy, shaped her belief that access to health care should never depend on luck—it should be a right. Together, they connect the dots between abortion bans, attacks on LGBTQIA+ communities, and Republicans’ shameful cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and health care coverage—all fueled by a dark-money agenda to control who has freedom and who doesn’t. Along the way, Rep. McBride offers a mini-masterclass in what worked in the 2025 elections: leading with affordability, staying curious (not judgmental), and rooting campaigns in local communities and shared values.Episode recorded on November 6, 2025Thanks for listening!
