Native America Calling

July 8 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Today, July 8 – Residents brace for Medicaid and food assistance cuts

The Congressional Budget Office estimates the spending bill just signed by President Trump will increase the number of people without health insurance by 16 million over the next ten years. The $1.1 trillion cuts to Medicaid will also affect Native Americans who rely on it to pay for health care through the Indian Health Service and threatens rural hospitals with a high rate of Medicaid-dependent patients. The new spending plan also substantially reduces the number of people who will collect food assistance through the federal government.  We’ll get insights on what these numbers mean for Native Americans who disproportionately  rely on these two federal government programs.

We’ll also find out the significance of Mexico electing its first Indigenous chief justice directly elected to that country’s Supreme Court.
