One possible change to Medicaid being floated in Congress right now includes a $2.3 trillion cut over the next 10 years. Other potential changes include adding certain work requirements and shifting costs and distribution of Medicaid funds to states, which have no trust obligations to tribes. As it is, Medicaid provides direct support to at least one million Native Americans. It's also one of the secondary sources that help provide health care through the Indian Health Service. Advocates are bracing for changes as they continue to make the case for the program's life-and-death importance in Indian Country. GUESTS Dr. Damian Chase-Begay (Mandan and Arikara), associate research professor of public health at the University of Montana Kristen Bitsuie (Navajo), tribal health care outreach and education policy manager for the National Indian Health Board Nanette Star (Choctaw descendant), director of policy and planning at the California Consortium of Urban Indian Health Winn Davis, congressional relations director at the National Indian Health Board

This week, Hilary and Jason are joined by Kristina Padilla, Vice President of Education and Strategic Development for the California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals. Kristina got involved with gangs and drugs in her teenage years to fit in, feel powerful, and pass the time she had by herself. However, the drugs soon took over and she one day found herself looking up at the ceiling surrounded by paramedics who had revived her after an overdose. This is the day Kristina believes was the turning point in which she no longer wanted to be shackled by this toxic lifestyle. Today, Kristina has turned her tribulations into her triumphs. She began working in the California prison system as a mentor and counselor out of a desire to help people. She began to speak to inmates in hopes of inspiring them, especially those in for life, that although they did a bad deed, they are not bad people and that not all is lost. Kristina also talks about how she draws on her past experiences with drugs and gang life, as well as her gender fluidity, as a helpful means to relate to those incarcerated. Due to these advantages, she talks about how she wouldn't want to change anything about her past as it has led to all this good in the present. Kristina has experienced a lot in her life and has achieved almost too many titles to list, but she believes she has truly found her purpose in this life.   Reach out to Kristina at:   kristina@ccapp.us   kristina.padilla@gmail.com     For more information on the Red Songbird Foundation, please visit:   redsongbird.org   If you are interested in donating to the Red Songbird Foundation, please visit:   redsongbird.org/donate   Follow us on Instagram at: @redsongbirdfoundation     New episode every Thursday!   Check us out on YouTube every Friday! Let The Journey Begin Podcast     Please subscribe, rate, and review!   Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

[10:55] Kristina shares why this program is important to the community and additional info on who can benefit from a program like this.

[15:00] Those who have lived through the AIDS epidemic are becoming retriggered once again with what's going on with COVID. The thought of dying alone and being in isolation like some of their friends did in the 80s is very traumatic and triggering. [16:20] How does this program address shame and stigma? Dr. Stefanie shares her thoughts. [19:35] It's important to everybody working on the Rainbow Advocate Program to make it a safe place for students to explore their own sexuality and ask questions.

Dying alone, dying in isolation, being sick, and not knowing how you got it. It has a huge impact on people.” “Everybody's so caught up on these body parts when transitioning, but there's a transition of hair, clothes, everything. We are excited to put out proper terminology.” “This is not just another quick course in terms of how to recognize what these letters mean. It's so much more than that. This is personal. Whoever takes this course can really benefit from that.”
