YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Republicans have passed President Trump's One Big, Beautiful bill, but is it built on bad faith stereotypes?

The legislation guts funding for Medicaid, and for a long time Republicans have been attacking the program as sort of welfare for moochers. Who exactly are these moochers? And could it be you?

Brittany is joined by Joan Alker () , Executive Director and CoFounder of the Georgetown Center for Children and Families, and Jamila Michener () , professor and author of Fragmented DemocracyMedicaid, Federalism and Unequal Politics () to understand how stereotypes about who deserves health insurance affect us all.
