Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at KFF, joins the show to talk about Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, possible cuts to the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid, and how states should respond to these potential policy changes. Colin and Erin also discuss Trump’s extreme personnel choices and speak with Cait Smith, director of LGBTQI+ Policy at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, about protecting transgender Americans.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. A full list of supporters is available here. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
