PNHP past president Dr. Adam Gaffney discusses the expected overall health care impact of the Trump-GOP federal budget bill just passed by Congress that cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid and Medicare, will take away millions of poor families’ access to food and nutrition programs, and will close hundreds of community and rural hospitals.
Dr. Gaffney also addresses viable alternatives to America’s current failed for-profit health care system—notably a single-payer national health program aka improved Medicare for All.
