About this listen

Millions of Americans are losing access to healthcare and civil rights—and most don’t even know it’s happening.

In this urgent episode, Angel breaks down two escalating crises:
The rollback of disability access protections by the U.S. Department of Energy—set to take effect July 15, 2025
The Medicaid coverage disaster unfolding nationwide, with over 25 million people already disenrolled and millions more at risk

From South Carolina’s refusal to expand Medicaid to the nationwide push for cruel work requirements, we expose how these policy moves are stripping people of care, independence, and dignity.

This isn’t just about systems—it’s about people:
Disabled Americans losing essential medical devices…
Children without access to vaccinations…
Seniors abandoned by long-term care…
Low-income workers drowning in medical debt…

This is not a glitch. This is a targeted attack.
And we can fight it—but only if we act now.
