Where social media and the internet are concerned, we’ve out-kicked our coverage. Let’s hope we get a handle on them before they spell our doom. Today, we talk about the erosion of social norms and rules that used to make us one. Now, as Jackson Browne said, “Brightly burning bridges light our future.”

This time on Code WACK! 
As a consequence of Trump's drastic cuts to Medicaid and other health programs, experts estimate that between nearly 8 million and 10 million more Americans will be uninsured by 2034. These include the most vulnerable among us, people who depend on Medicaid because they are poor, ill and/or live with disabilities. And here’s the kicker: experiencing disability isn’t as rare or improbable as we’d like to think. 


That's why this fight for health care is about all of us—our families, our neighbors, and our future. From hospital care to home-based services to keeping rural clinics alive, Medicaid is a pillar of our healthcare system—and when it’s weakened, entire communities feel the impact. So what happens when that pillar is damaged? We recently spoke to Andy Imparato, executive director of Disability Rights California, and policy analyst Sabrina Epstein.  This is the second episode in a two-part series with Disability Rights California.
