In this fortnight's episode, we explore Project 2025's proposed policies, which could dramatically impact health, women’s health and safety. The plan includes lifetime caps on Medicaid, reducing coverage for millions, and increased out-of-pocket costs for Medicare recipients. It threatens reproductive rights and seeks to curtail the CDC's public health role, potentially weakening responses to health crises. Basically, an anti-epidemic preparedness vision and plan. The changes could result in higher healthcare costs and reduced access to essential services for women and vulnerable populations
