Healthcare policy can feel distant—but its impact is anything but.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the decisions happening in statehouses that are actively shaping how care is delivered, who can access it, and what it costs. Joined by government relations experts, we break down the complex—but critical—policy conversations unfolding across New Hampshire, Vermont, and at the federal level.

From Medicaid funding cuts and the future of rural hospitals to healthcare cost containment and workforce challenges, we explore the growing tension between access and affordability—and what it means for patients, providers, and communities.
