💬 "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. This isn't just a political decision—it's a death sentence for millions, especially Black communities who are already disproportionately impacted. 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.
🎧 STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT: ➡ Why this bill is about to cause millions to lose Medicaid coverage ➡ The impact on Black adults, children, and those with chronic conditions ➡ How this legislation guts the Affordable Care Act and removes key protections ➡ What public health programs like CHIP, Planned Parenthood, and community clinics will lose ➡ How environmental rollbacks worsen health outcomes in underserved communities ➡ Why this bill isn't just flawed policy—it's dangerous and deadly
