They also frequently confuse this coverage with what is offered by Medicaid. Some are confused by Medicare ads being circulated right now to make plan choices. We are joined by our frequent guest, Medicare Insurance Broker Kaushi Shah, who will clarify these issues.4:50 pm Right after he was inaugurated, Donald Trump started issuing a stream of executive orders focused on changing the face of America. We asked our investigative reporter, Chetan Dave, to give us some background on what executive orders are, the authority behind them, whether they can be challenged, and whether there is a limit to how many can be issued.5:20 pm The abrupt slash and burn strategy that ElonMusk has used so far to chop the size of the federal government is reminiscent of what he did to Twitter after he bought it in October 2022 for $44 billion. It is worth only $9 billion now. Thousands are being laid off in an economy where oil and gas and IT workers are also getting the axe. We asked our investigative reporter, Gautam Sinha, to give us a ballpark estimate of how many people are affected so far by this turmoil.5:40 pm In another Executive Order playing to his rightwing base, over the phone, Trump abruptly fired the longtime president of the Kennedy center in Washington DC, Deborah Rutter, saying it was time to stop “woke” events presented there. In an unprecedented move, he then declared himself Chair of the 6-member Board.
