Andrew Hutchinson+FollowMedicaid Cuts: Who’s Really Losing?Major drama on Capitol Hill: a new GOP budget could slash Medicaid by $715 billion, putting millions at risk of losing coverage and making it even harder for struggling hospitals to keep their doors open. Experts say over 8.6 million people could lose their healthcare, and hospitals serving low-income families are sounding the alarm. The bill also brings stricter work requirements, higher costs, and big changes to long-term care. This could get messy—what do you think? #MedicaidCuts #HealthcareCrisis #PolicyDebate #HospitalImpact #BudgetBattle #Health99141Share

Rebecca Cowan+FollowWhy Aren’t We Training Enough Docs?Match Day is huge for med students, but here’s the wild part: our health care training isn’t keeping up with what America actually needs. The U.S. is getting older fast, but we’re not training enough geriatricians or primary care docs. Tons of residency spots go unfilled, and the shortage is only getting worse—especially in rural areas. Tech like AI and telehealth help, but they can’t replace real doctors. If we don’t fix this pipeline, we’re headed for a health care crisis. #HealthcareCrisis #DoctorShortage #MatchDay #MedicalTraining #AgingAmerica #Health11Share
