Abdul and Katelyn discuss the latest in health policy this week including:


  • RFK Jr’s plan to form a national registry of Americans with autism
  • The shift to make US health policy look more like Europe’s
  • The latest news on the Texas measles outbreak
  • A White House budget proposal that calls for cutting $40 billion from HHS next year
  • Why NIH’s top expert on ultra-processed foods left the agency


Then Abdul interviews Harvard polling expert Dr. Gillian SteelFisher about a new survey on pandemic safety measures -- and most Americans are more open than you think! And a special thanks to deBeaumont Foundation for their contribution to today’s interview.
