With news blasting from Washington like a firehose, it feels impossible to take it all in &mdash; to stay on top of all the changes the Trump administration has been trying to make.&nbsp; But for health care, one person is probably closer to anyone than to understanding the full picture: KFF Heath News Chief Washington Correspondent Julie Rover.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In this episode, Julie helps us see that picture, by telling us two stories: The first concerns a teeny part of the health care system &mdash; an obscure federal agency, one of many that the Trump administration has taken a chainsaw to. The other is anything but obscure: Possible cuts to Medicaid &mdash;which Julie thinks Republicans will actually find very difficult to make. Plus, reporting from Julie&rsquo;s KFF Health News colleague Arthur Allen. And a cameo from one of Julie&rsquo;s beloved corgis.
