This week we visit with two powerful Medicaid advocates who share their stories and help debunk some of the rhetoric behind the looming Medicaid cuts.

Medicaid cuts appear imminent, and some of our most vulnerable friends and neighbors will be impacted. This week, Medicaid advocates Lynn Meshke and Mimi Gerner join me to define Medicaid, debunk some of the controversial messages floating around, and describe how these cuts will harm their families.

I’m also featuring music by Ax and the Hatchetmen, a Chicago-based alt-indie band I heard over Memorial Day weekend at Hinterland Brewery’s 30th anniversary party.
