Maternal Health and Disparities under Trump

California could lose billions of dollars in health funding if the Trump administration follows through on GOP plans to overhaul Medicaid, which provides healthcare for low-income people. Trump policies could also have major implications for Covered California, the state’s health insurance marketplace, and for health care programs addressing homelessness and reproductive health . We’ll talk with state assembly health committee chair Mia Bonta and others about what services are most vulnerable, and how California officials are preparing.

Guests:

Mia Bonta, state assemblymember representing the 18th assembly district in the East Bay and chair of the assembly health committee

Angela Hart, senior correspondent covering health care politics and policy in California and the West, KFF Health News

Mark Peterson, professor of public policy, political science, health policy and management, and law, UCLA; senior fellow at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research
