About this listen

Dean Baker talks with healthcare journalist Jonathan Cohn about the historic assault on Medicaid at the heart of the 2025 budget bill. The proposed legislation would slash hundreds of billions in federal funding for essential healthcare programs. They discuss how "work requirements" create bureaucratic traps rather than jobs, while revealing the cynical strategy to delay the harshest cuts until 2029. The Affordable Care Act has transformed healthcare access, giving workers newfound freedom and security. Now, the ACA is also on the chopping block.
