Ep 32 - At least we have our health… or do we?
from Vital Questions · host Che Guerrero & La Co-Host
On this episode of Vital Questions, Che Guerrero and La Co-Host talk about what happens when “at least we have our health” is no longer a guarantee.From the looming fight over Affordable Care Act subsidies to a brutal job market that’s leaving millions without employer-based insurance, this episode breaks down how federal policy is directly shaping who gets care — and who doesn’t.We dig into preventable deaths caused by skyrocketing prescription drug prices, the resurgence of diseases like the flu, norovirus, and measles, and why vaccine skepticism at the highest levels of government is putting kids, elders, and immunocompromised people at risk.The conversation also takes on major changes inside the CDC and HHS, RFK Jr.’s role in reshaping vaccine recommendations, the chilling effect of political interference in public health research, and why trust in health institutions is collapsing in real time.Then we turn to what’s on your plate — literally — unpacking the new upside-down food pyramid, industry influence on dietary guidelines, the rollback of alcohol consumption limits, and how corporate interests are quietly overriding decades of medical research.This episode connects the dots between capitalism, politics, public health, and everyday survival — with facts, receipts, and the humor needed to process just how wild things are right now.
