How safe is pregnancy now that HHS has slashed key programs?
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” plan has already gutted maternal‑mortality tracking, birth‑defect surveillance, vaccine outreach, and FDA inspections that keep baby formula safe. Philosopher‑host Nicolas Michaud breaks down what’s been cut, what’s next, and why small lines in a federal budget ripple all the way to your delivery room. Learn how rural hospital audits, vaccine label changes, and WIC privatization could put moms and babies at risk—and what Congress can still do.
