Natalie Kean of Justice in Aging on Trump's Big Ugly Bill -- One Year Later

About this episode

It's been more than a year since Trump signed his Big, Ugly Bill into law, cutting nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid. Most of those cuts haven't even taken effect yet, but people struggling to afford health coverage already are feeling the impacts. And that's just the beginning, says Justice in Aging's Natalie Kean -- a lawyer and advocate for older Americans. Natalie tells us that older patients and people with disabilities will be especially hard hit by these cruel and unnecessary cuts -- all so that the wealthy could get another big tax break. But... Natalie also thinks there may be an opportunity for Congress to reverse the Big Ugly Bill's worst provisions, depending on the outcome of the next two elections.
