“Medical Frailty” and the War on Fraud (Unlocked)

This episode was originally released August 3rd for Death Panel patrons. To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod Beatrice, Artie and Phil discuss the Trump administration’s proposal to shift the definition of “medical frailty” under Medicaid to explicitly redefine health as your ability to work, and how this change threatens not just the healthcare coverage of countless people, but an impending blow against the Medicaid program and the healthcare system itself. Show links: We're testing out a new Bookshop.org page (still under construction), where you can find books by past guests and book recommendations from the hosts.
