Julie Rovner is the host of KFF Health News podcast “What the Health?” and an expert on health policy. President-elect Trump’s choices for key health policy positions are controversial. The lame-duck Congress has limited time to address health priorities while the incoming Congress plans changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Trump’s picks for HHS Secretary and CMS head could create tension. Kennedy’s stance on processed foods may lead to more regulations, and Oz’s support for Medicare Advantage could clash with spending cuts. Congressional committees face shake-ups, impacting health policy knowledge. Other health policy news and articles are also discussed in the podcast.
