The Rick Smith Show July 23, 2025

This episode of The Rick Smith Show features Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works, who discusses the devastating impacts of Trump and the GOP's "One Big Nightmare" bill on rural hospitals and the broader health care industry. Samantha Sanders, Director of Government Affairs, joins to explain how GOP gig worker portability bills would loosen independent contractor rules, effectively granting employers immunity to exploit gig workers, and eroding crucial worker protections. The show exposes high-stakes threats to health care and workers' rights.
