In this hard-hitting episode of The Gritty Nurse Podcast with Amie Archibald-Varley, we dive deep into the controversial healthcare proposal dubbed the "Big Beautiful Bill"—a sweeping plan backed by RFK Jr. that claims to overhaul the US healthcare system. But what's really behind this policy? And who stands to lose the most?
Joined by Dr. Kaveh Hoda, gastroenterologist, podcaster, and advocate, we explore:
-
The background and political motivations behind RFK Jr.'s healthcare agenda
-
The devastating consequences of Medicaid cuts on low-income Americans, seniors, and people with disabilities
-
How privatization and deregulation threaten the core of public healthcare
-
Why Canadian listeners should view this as a cautionary tale—what's happening in the US could be a warning sign for Canada's own healthcare system
💡 From rising inequity to the erosion of public trust, this episode is a must-listen for healthcare workers, policymakers, and citizens on both sides of the border.
If you value accessible, fair public healthcare or are curious about how U.S. health policy debates can inform what's happening (or could happen) in Canada, this episode is essential listening. Let us know your thoughts: share, review, and talk back.
