In the latest episode of Meidas Health, host Dr. Vin Gupta welcomes fellow physician and trailblazing public servant Dr. Tina Shah, who just launched her campaign to flip New Jersey’s 7th congressional district, one of the most competitive and consequential races in the country. With Republicans gutting Medicaid and installing anti-science extremists like RFK Jr. at the helm of federal health policy, Dr. Shah makes a compelling case for why doctors who actually believe in science need a seat at the table.
A practicing pulmonologist who served in the Obama-Biden administration and led innovative AI work in health tech, Dr. Shah brings a rare blend of clinical experience, policy acumen, and forward-thinking leadership. In this wide-ranging conversation, she breaks down her path from hospital rooms to the halls of Congress, the real-life consequences of GOP health care rollbacks, and her vision for restoring sanity and compassion to our broken system.
With just three seats needed to flip the House, NJ-07 is a must-watch district—and Dr. Shah’s campaign is already gaining national attention. Tune in to hear why her race isn’t just vital for New Jersey, but for the future of American health care and democracy itself.
