The tax reductions that President Trump wants to continue are rolled into a large bill that requires big cuts to medicaid and food support programs. The President and supporters call it a beautiful bill, but healthcare and food security advocates say the bill would hurt Alaska’s most financially vulnerable residents. If the U.S. Senate passes it, what changes would be required for Alaskans to access medicaid coverage and food assistance programs and how are providers here preparing for a potential increase in need with fewer resources? We discuss it on this Talk of Alaska.
