Ep. 55 - Jeff Scott Connects the Dots Inside State Battles Shaping U.S. Healthcare (06/10/2025)

Before Jeff Scott escapes the Florida Capitol’s legislative madness for some well-earned peace and quiet on a boat, he sits down with Meredith Hirsh and Mike Chavez to make sense of the chaos. In this episode of Working Healthcare, we dive into what the 2025 Florida legislative session means for everyone in the healthcare space—what passed, what didn’t, and why it matters far beyond state lines. From supermajorities to Medicaid battles, we’re pulling back the curtain on how state policy really gets made (and sometimes derailed). Jeff brings decades of experience—and just enough political scars—to explain how these decisions impact your work, your livelihood, and the care your organization can deliver. Meredith brings the policy passion; Mike keeps her from quoting too many obscure statutes. Whether you're in Florida, Texas, or just trying to survive budget season, this episode is your roadmap to understanding the state-level forces shaping medicine. Grab your stethoscope—or your sunscreen—and tune in.
