This week on Paging America, Miles and Dr. Rob unpack the chaos surrounding the GOP’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” — a tax giveaway for billionaires that slashes Medicaid, food assistance, and health care for millions. With rural hospitals at risk and families facing devastating cuts, they dig into the real-life consequences behind the headlines.
Plus RFK Jr. says something we actually agree with (and a whole lot we don’t) and Trump makes another prescription drug PR stunt (Does it mean anything? Spoiler: no.)
