The Daily - One Rural Doctor on the Real Cost of Medicaid Changes

When Republicans passed their big domestic policy bill just over a week ago, they kept making the same argument about sweeping changes to Medicaid: that the measures, including new work requirements, would encourage able-bodied adults to earn their health care, ultimately creating a fairer system for everyone.

Guest: Shannon Dowler, a family physician and health advocate in western North Carolina.
