A Professor's Take on Trump's Medicaid Cuts

Tim Layton is a professor of public policy & economics at the University of Virginia. He analyzes Medicaid policy and its impact on real people. Professor Layton disagrees with some progressive arguments about health coverage, but agrees that taking medical insurance away from people is generally a bad idea. And that's exactly what Trump's "Big Beautiful" (Or Big Ugly) bill does. Prof. Layton also has some interesting angles on how to improve Medicaid --- including letting nurse practitioners see patients without doctors' supervision. Give this lively discussion a listen!
