PNHP board secretary Dr. Ed Weisbart discusses the urgent need to deprivatize Medicaid, in response to massive federal cuts to the program, on the Oct. 3, 2025 episode of the Prescription for Healthcare podcast.

Dr. Weisbart details the findings of PNHP’s blockbuster new report, “Removing the Middlemen from Medicaid: A Blueprint for Better Care and Lower Costs.”

Across the country, “we estimate anywhere from a 10 to 17% reduction in the Medicaid managed care budget,” he says, “and by the way, as physicians, we are here to tell you with complete confidence that you will be improving the health of people on your Medicaid program.”
