Ep83: A New Reality? 4th July, Feds Gutting Medicaid - What Comes Next (In Collaboration with Doctors For America)

August 12, 2025 • Dr. Eric Fethke

This episode is a collaboration with Doctors for America.

“ It's our turn to step up and speak out.”

In another special episode of the Pursuit of Health podcast, Dr. Eric Fethke collaborates with Doctors for America to reflect on the impact of the 4th July tax bill, and the extent of its threat to our healthcare system.

Calling on former guests to contribute, and through resharing pertinent snippets from previous episodes of the show, Dr. Fethke presents the stark reality of the impact these cuts will have on patients, communities, hospitals, employers - the entire ecosystem of people in America.

It’s time for action, to fight back, raise the alarm and demand better from our government.
