Ep. 37 - We've hit the debt ceiling. What's next?
How the debt ceiling will affect Medicare and US Healthcare

Last week, the US hit the debt ceiling and now Democrats and Republicans are pointing fingers and arguing about what might happen next. The debt ceiling affects the US government’s ability to pay its bills; one of those big bills is Medicare. So, what happens next? Should providers expect to get paid for Medicare services? What about Medicare Advantage reimbursement? Matthew and Ron break it down for you.

Plus: A look back at a ballot initiative mandating nurse proportions in Massachusetts, a bill to end the COVID-19 public health emergency, and American views on the healthcare system.
