Description

As many as 14 million Americans on Medicaid could lose their coverage when the pandemic public health emergency expires. The declaration – and the temporary reforms it allowed for – are set to end on July 15th, if the Biden administration doesn’t extend them. This could result in a historic jump in the U.S. uninsured rate.

Plus, improving location accuracy on wireless 911 calls.

And, a new record for gas prices.

Guests: Axios' Adriel Bettelheim and Margaret Harding McGill.
