Why Everyone from Domestic Workers to Birth Workers Needs Medicaid. Organizing Locally for Child Care. Another Bipartisan Program Under Attack.

 On the radio show this week, we dive into how your health care stories have helped sway Republican – yes Republican — lawmakers to protect Medicaid, and why everyone needs to be in this fight for Medicaid Next, we hear about a campaign in New York to rally state and federal efforts to improve child care. We cover Meals On Wheels, and how even a program considered the “gold-standard” for private-public partnerships and cost-savings is under threat because of the Trump administration’s reckless cuts. Finally, we discuss Black Maternal Health Week and why this is yet another occasion to call your lawmaker about protecting Medicaid.
