💬 “People are going to die when they lose their healthcare. People are going to die when they can’t see the doctor. People are going to die when they lose the protections that were a benefit to them—maternal care, mental health… they’re going to die.”

⚡ In this episode of Medicine Mondays, I dive into the devastating realities of the new legislation that threatens to gut Medicaid, chip away at the Affordable Care Act, and cut vital public health programs—all under the guise of economic responsibility.

From cancer screenings to maternal care and environmental protections, this bill puts lives at risk. We need to talk about what’s happening, what’s coming, and what we can do to prepare.
