Republicans have passed President Trump's One Big, Beautiful bill,
but is it built on bad faith stereotypes?

The legislation guts funding for Medicaid, and for a long time
Republicans have been attacking the program as sort of welfare for
moochers. Who exactly are these moochers? And could it be
you?

Brittany is joined by Joan Alker, Executive Director and Co-Founder
of the Georgetown Center for Children and Families, and Jamila
Michener, professor and author of Fragmented Democracy: Medicaid,
Federalism and Unequal Politics to understand how stereotypes about
who deserves health insurance affect us all.
