Dr. Alister Martin)","description":"The prospect of 900,000 New York City residents losing Medicaid coverage under H.R. 1, the tax and spending law passed by Republicans last year, amounts to \u201cbureaucratic violence,\u201d says Dr. Alister Martin. In response, he\u2019s devised a plan that starts on the streets of Queens and builds out from there with strategically placed community health workers and people assisting with insurance enrollment. On the new episode of The Dose podcast, Dr. Joel Bervell talks with Dr. Martin, an emergency physician, former White House Fellow, and now health commissioner for 8.5 million New Yorkers. They discuss what a city can do when the federal safety net is pulled out from under its residents. \u201cHaving people be at the center of our response is critically important, because that\u2019s what\u2019s going to make a difference. You can only move at the speed of trust in public health.\u201d ","author_name":"The Dose","author_url":"https:\/\/thedose.show","html":"
