S1 E7 The Unbeautiful Truth About the One Big Beautiful Bill
Join host Jenn Kerfoot as she breaks down HR1 - the "One Big Beautiful Bill" that just passed by the narrowest margin and could strip healthcare from 18 million Americans.
What's really in this bill:
$860 billion in Medicaid cuts over 10 years
Work requirements that cost more than they save
$35 copays that force impossible choices
10-16 million people losing coverage
The brutal math:
Medicaid covers 1 in 5 Americans, costs 22% less than private insurance, and keeps rural hospitals alive. So why are we trying to break what actually works?
From the supervisor who had to refuse a raise to keep her healthcare, to 1.8 million veterans on Medicaid, to rural communities facing hospital closures - this isn't policy, it's cruelty dressed up as economics.
"You cannot build a great nation on an empty stomach."
No spin. Just the truth about what happens when we mistake budget cuts for leadership.
