Episode Details

Senator Andy Kim unveils MediKids, a bold new bill to guarantee health coverage for every child born in America from birth to age 26—no citizenship required. Drawing from Medicaid and managed by CMS, it’s designed as a safety net for all kids, including undocumented youth, inspired by Medicare for seniors. Kim’s personal story of his child’s preexisting condition fuels his push to end healthcare anxiety for parents. Backed by top senators and major medical groups, the plan lets wealthier families opt out privately—but with a re-enrollment option. While cost estimates are pending, supporters say it’s a vital step toward universal care for young Americans.
