The 2024 presidential election is upon us, and while healthcare plays an important role in every election cycle, this year’s election has a huge emphasis on healthcare and access to healthcare services. This, as we know, doesn’t just impact us as individuals but has an impact on our profession as a whole. That’s why this week on The Amplify OT Podcast, I am breaking down the 2024 election, covering each candidate’s platform in regards to the Affordable Care Act, ACA subsidies, Medicaid, and Medicare.

Disclaimer: I am not endorsing any particular candidate on this podcast. This episode is meant to serve as an educational tool, as though I am from the party of occupational therapy, with a bias only about what is best for our profession as a whole.
