About this episode
Host Marcus "Marc" Ellery breaks down the sweeping impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed on July 4, 2025, focusing on controversial Medicaid work requirements that could leave up to 2 million Californians uninsured — particularly affecting unhoused populations who lack access to the medical documentation needed to claim exemptions. The episode examines California's automated verification system attempts and the stark reality that 90% of unsheltered homeless individuals may lose coverage under the new twice-yearly eligibility checks. Marc unpacks why well-intentioned exemptions often fail the people who need them most when bureaucratic systems collide with real-world barriers to healthcare access.Loved this episode?
