The GOP slashed $1 trillion from Medicaid's budget. What now?

The Medicaid budget just lost about $1 trillion. Eleven million
more Americans will go uninsured, the CBO estimates, and those
who remain Medicaid-eligible may lose coverage for "optional"
services. That could include in-home health care recipients, like
9-year-old Noah. In this episode, we talk with his mom, who
lobbied Congress to vote against the bill. Plus: An
environmentalist makes a case for solar power, and why the Fed
will rely on data — not the whims of the stock market or
President Trump — to make its next rate cut decision.
