From Medicaid work requirements to Medicare physician payment fixes, discover what's really happening behind the political rhetoric.

Together, Erik and Marc break down the real impact of Congress's budget reconciliation battle while examining Trump's pivot on drug pricing reform. Is this dollars-and-cents budgeting or a stealth attack on healthcare coverage? Get the unvarnished truth about what's actually happening in Washington and what it means for patients, providers, and the future of American healthcare.
