Tim “T-Bone” Faust makes a long overdue return to the program to brief us on the series of guerilla town halls on Medicaid he’s been doing in Wisconsin. But first, we start with a brief roundup on one of the most important health issues facing the nation today: Soda, and the role it plays in keeping Americans healthy. Tim then takes us through the current administration’s assault on Medicaid & Medicare, how the failure to push for healthcare reform in the face of COVID paved the way for hucksters like RFK Jr, and how health justice remains a bedrock principle for a left political program going forward. Tim is happy to book a town hall in YOUR neck of the woods if you reach out to him: https://x.com/crulge And here’s a quick flier he put together for Hands Off Medicaid if you want more info: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jusscubmipf5fsd5hob24/national-flyer.pdf?rlkey=b1327wky6zte79m00g8peo8iq&e=2&st=d3dngrl3&dl=0 On Will’s rec, go see “The Encampments” if you have the chance: https://www.watermelonpictures.com/films/the-encampments

Friend of the show and People's Policy Project wonk Matt Bruenig returns to Bad Faith to give the insider perspective on the lawsuits against health tech CEO Bryan Johnson. You may know Johnson as the guy who used his kid as a "blood bag" (i.e., injected himself with his son's plasma) and who goes to great lengths to "live forever." As it turns out, he has also gone to great lengths to prevent his employees from talking about the hostile work environment they allegedly worked under. Matt represents several former employees in their labor lawsuit contesting the confidentiality agreements they were made to sign. Come for tech guru gossip, stay for some preliminary thoughts on the Abundance discourse that has recently taken over left media.
