On this week’s episode, Miles and Dr. Rob break down the emerging GOP “concepts of a plan” on Obamacare, and the escalating vaccine misinformation battle sparked by the Kennedy-driven CDC edits. 

Then, Dr. Rob sits down with U.S. Senator Gary Peters for an in-depth conversation on the ACA subsidy cliff, the shutdown showdown, and why Republicans’ refusal to negotiate threatens millions who rely on affordable health coverage. A sharp, candid look at health care politics heading into 2026.
