Summary

Close to 13 million people could soon lose access to Medicaid and Obamacare, although this only applies to two main groups: illegal immigrants, and able-bodied Americans under 64 years old who refuse to work at least part-time. The change of policy was just approved in a House vote under the “Big Beautiful Bill,” but will now have to make its way through a Senate vote before becoming law. We’ll discuss this topic and others, in this episode of Crossroads.
