In this episode of KHN’s “What the Health?” Julie Rovner of Kaiser Health News, Joanne Kenen of Politico, Margot Sanger-Katz of The New York Times and Alice Ollstein of Talking Points Memo discuss the latest on states’ efforts to reshape their Medicaid programs, the kerfuffle over President Donald Trump’s medical records and some controversial comments by former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price about Congress’ repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s “individual mandate” for insurance. Julie also interviews Harvard professor Robert Blendon about the complex politics of health in the coming midterm elections.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday night that special counsel Robert Mueller warned President Trump's legal team back in March that he could subpoena the president and bring him before a grand jury if he won't agree to sit down for an interview. Legal experts began debating and discussing whether a sitting president could be subpoenaed at all, let alone by the special counsel. Former federal prosecutor Doug Burns talks to Rick and guest co-host Rick Tyler about whether Mueller can and will subpoena President Trump. He also shares his thoughts on the potential interview questions that were leaked earlier this week. Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price acknowledged in a speech Tuesday to the 15th annual World Health Care Congress that repealing the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate will increase premiums for all Americans. It was a surprising admission from a long-time opponent of Obamacare. The guys discuss what this hypocrisy says about our politics and our policies.
With the departure of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, the Trump administration is starting to get that swiss cheese look again. That's two large-department openings. Plus FBI, Secret Service, the list goes on and on. For a fresh look at this recurring issue, Federal Drive with Tom Temin turns to Mallory Barg Bulman, vice president of research and evaluation at the Partnership for Public Service.
In today's Federal Newscast, with Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigning after facing criticism for his travel habits, the Office of Management and Budget reminds agency leaders what is appropriate when on official travel.
45 keeps at it and we keep on surviving. Taxpayer-funded private planes got former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price up outta there. We can kneel and observe police brutality in a public, non-violent matter or we can kneel and thumb our noses at the president. Which one would you prefer? 45 could give less than a damn about Puerto Rico and isn’t afraid to tweet it. Some people who do give a damn about Puerto Rico? The rest of the world, including Pitbull, Jay-Z and Fat Joe. In entertainment, we talk about Kevin Hart’s book and the glory of being a superstar in the NBA (hello, Mr. Russell Westbrook and your 5-year, $203 million dollar contract. The struggle is real—and ongoing. Join us!
Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigned today amid mounting criticism for costing taxpayers over one million dollars for his use of charter planes and military aircraft. In the wake of this lavish spending, Congressman Ted Lieu of California joined with other House members to introduce the "SWAMP FLYERS" Act, a bill that seeks to ban private jet travel by members of the president's cabinet. Congressman Lieu (D-Calif. 33) joined Michael Steele and Rick Ungar to explain why he introduced the bill and critique President Trump's tax plan. The superintendent of the Air Force Academy delivered a powerful and moving speech to his cadets on race and inclusion. The guys discuss the speech and how it delivered the moral leadership and clarity the country has needed in the wake of Charlottesville.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price is under fire for taking chartered flights on the taxpayer's dime. What will be his fate? How do you feel about the spending? Is it okay because they were doing government business, or does that make it worse?
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America react to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker deciding not to seek re-election by remembering his most significant moment in office was failing to stand up for the Senate's power to consider treaties and instead greased the skids for President Obama to enact the Iran nuclear deal without any effective protest from the Republican majority. They also slam Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price for using private planes on at least two dozen occasions to the tune of $400,000 in taxpayer money. And they weigh in on the results of the Republican U.S. Senate run-off in Alabama and President Trump subsequently deleting tweets in support of Luther Strange after it was clear Roy Moore had won.

After many setbacks, a possible vote to overhaul of the Affordable Care Act is back on the table. President Trump is urging Senators to pass a bill that repeals and replaces the ACA. In today’s show, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price talks about the efforts in Washington, and what it’s like to work with President Trump. In his conversation with Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor in Chief of The Atlantic, Price discusses Trump’s leadership style, the opioid crisis, and proposed cuts to agencies like the National Institutes of Health.
What does it mean to “win” in Washington? I've long described “progress” as the ongoing, incremental expansion of liberty and literacy in a growing number stable regimes in or aligned with the West. And by that definition, much of the agenda of President Trump's administration could well be described as “winning.” Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt have become the domestic policy stars of the Trump administration, joining Defense Secretary Mattis, Homeland Security Secretary Kelly and CIA Director Pompeo as foreign policy counterparts off to successful starts. Each of the five brought to the task discipline and passion to lead their agencies. The key, however, is that all five have sought and received buy-ins from the president and Vice President Pence on their policy directions and priorities—and, even more, that they pursue and defend their missions with little or no reference to the raging battle between the West Wing and the media elites. Any assessment of the Trump administration ought to include a clear-eyed evaluation of where they are in fact wining.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mike and Jay start off this jam-packed episode with a look at the resignation of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price in the wake of a travel scandal. Mike points out that Price joins an unusually large contingent of former Trump staffers for such a young administration, but both Mike and Jay agree that President Trump did the right thing in forcing Price's resignation. Next, it's a look at the federal government's response to the devestation caused by hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Once again, the Guys agree that the administration's efforts have been good, especially considering the unique challenges presented by Puerto Rico's location, as well as emergency response resources being stretched thin after hurricanes Harvey and Irma. That said, Jay thinks that the Trump team could use some remedial lessons in messaging. After that, the Guys talk about the Alabama Republican Senate primary race, where former judge, and ardent cultural conservative Roy Moore soundly defeated incumbent Luther Strange, despite President Trump's support of Strange. Following that is a discussion of the vote that wasn't on Graham-Cassidy, the latest (and last, for now) GOP attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare, a look at the latest Trump travel ban, and Mike and Jay's analysis of the Republicans' tax reform framework.
