Navigating Pediatric Policy in 2025

As the political climate shifts in 2025, there are important discussions around Medicaid, mental health and executive orders that will impact our kids. From Medicaid eligibility changes to funding cuts, to benefit adjustments, the political forces shaping healthcare may have profound effects on both our patients and providers. In this episode, we examine the current state of affairs and answer questions we've heard from clinicians in our communities.

Joining us for this discussion is Zach Zaslow. He is the Vice President of Advocacy and Community Health at Children's Hospital Colorado and an expert on health policy.

Some highlights from this episode include:

  • An overview of the Medicaid program and the roles of state and federal governments
  • How federal funding cuts could impact pediatric healthcare
  • The role of advocacy and how pediatricians can be a voice for the children they serve
  • The focus on mental health and the importance of this current crisis
