President Trump and Congress’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is now law. How will the drastic cuts to health care affect you and your family? In this #CareTalk episode, health care expert Natasha Murphy from Center for American Progress returns to tell us more about what was in the final bill, and how it will change our health care with show host, cancer survivor, and health care advocate Laura Packard from Health Care Voices.

Plus Louise Norris from healthinsurance.org and Diane Archer of Just Care answer your American health insurance and health care questions on Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, private insurance and more.

This episode includes more about whether the Big Ugly Bill can be challenged in court, what happens to your Social Security benefits as a result of this law (you may have gotten a misleading email from the Social Security Administration), why doesn't America have universal health care like other countries, and how traditional Medicare may start using prior authorization for some services in five states.
