Episode Details

Carl Schulze, a man who relies on daily home care, rolled his motorized wheelchair 1,000 miles from the Fox Valley to the State Capitol in a 11-day protest—demanding Congress and lawmakers protect Medicaid-funded home care from devastating cuts. He warns that without intervention, people with disabilities risk being forced into institutions, stripping away their dignity and independence. This isn’t his first Capitol trip—he’s been fighting for caregiver funding since 2025—and his tireless journey is a visceral call to action: policy decisions don’t just affect budgets—they shape lives.
