Medicaid: It's Health Insurance! with Kristine Stoddard
Update: 2025-08-26
Description
Don't be fooled: a Medicaid by any other name would smell as sweet - because it's health insurance!
In this episode, Liz and Kristine Stoddard (health care super nerd/wonk) cover what Medicaid really is (health insurance!) and what the impacts will be on *all* of Granite Staters...due to a majority of New Hampshire lawmakers' actions.
Liz uses many analogies in this episode (including A Christmas Carol) and Kristine asks Liz what a "wall ball" is.
