In this in-depth interview, Steve Adubato sits down with U.S. Senator Andy Kim (D)—NJ to explore critical issues impacting our state and nation, including vaccine misinformation, immigration policy, federal cuts to Medicaid, and the importance of public broadcasting. (8/2/25).

Steve Adubato asks Senator Kim about the Big Beautiful Bill and what his biggest concerns are. Senator Kim expresses deep concern over what he described as the largest cut to healthcare in U.S. history, which could leave 14–16 million Americans without coverage. He noted the impact would extend beyond Medicaid and Affordable Care Act beneficiaries, threatening hospitals that rely heavily on Medicaid reimbursements and potentially forcing some to close. Kim warned that this would drive up costs and create new challenges for everyone. He argued the cuts are not aimed at reducing the deficit but at funding tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans—an approach he called misguided at a time when many families are already struggling to pay their bills.
