A new political action movement just formed at the Beaches. It’s called Protect the Beach Life.
Residents are speaking out about a height referendum for buildings along the shore, and other issues too.
Guest: Georgette Dumont, founder of Protect the Beach Life.
Medicaid losses
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Congress has required states to maintain Medicaid coverage for participants while providing additional federal funding for states to administer their programs.
However, a separate law Congress passed late in 2022 effectively ends the official public health emergency, meaning states were allowed to resume Medicaid terminations on April 1.
What does this mean for Florida?
Guest: Kathy Hempstead, senior policy adviser at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Interfaith observance
