Me to @chatlanis: "There are many reasons to be suspicious about the way New York uses its Medicaid money, and it’s needed some kind of oversight for a long time." https://t.co/LA2tDuKcLK

I am looking to interview people who have sought health care at crisis pregnancy centers, intentionally or unintentionally, and want to talk about their experience. If you or someone you know might be interested, please email or DM #pregnant #news #healthcare

Thanks to our friends at NPR for republishing our piece on the dire consequences of looming Medicaid cuts in the Mississippi River Delta.

[Ian Weissman, DO @DrIanWeissman]

With Medicaid cutbacks on the horizon, millions in the U.S. are expected to go uninsured. In the Mississippi Delta region — one of the poorest places in the U.S. — people are worried.

At the #nyc #nokings peaceful protest I spoke to NYC comptroller @bradlander about what state and city policymakers should focus on right now. For @statesnewsroom #news

[Madyson Fitzgerald @MaddyFitzWrites]

At least 17 states have taken steps to ensure broader access to the COVID-19 vaccine since last month. The moves represent an extraordinary state rebellion against the public health authority of the federal government.

“I think it’s unfair. I understand that there are some people who abuse the system,” B. told Stateline. “There are also people who are in need. And cutting help for families like mine — not being able to get the help — it will be very difficult.”https://t.co/Hj4iZrJXlo

[Mikie Sherrill @MikieSherrill]

New Jersey veterans will go hungry because of a bill that @Jack4NJ enthusiastically supported.

He should be ashamed of himself.

[Public Health Watch @pubhealthwatch]

Public Health Watch rarely covers breaking news, but its investigative reporting is often tied to the news — and sometimes foreshadows it. A case in point: the push to slash health coverage for the poor.

we're working hard over here @stateline_news to cover the ever-changing landscape of state policy. Please take our survey and let us know what to cover! https://t.co/e4CtpGwzUG

[KFF Health News @KFFHealthNews]

About 68% of Americans said they favored a Medicaid work requirement in a recent @KFF poll. That dropped to 35% when they learned most recipients already work and could lose coverage due to paperwork problems.

The effects of this big stupid bill will be devastating for so many people in Louisiana. This is not debatable. (This article made me cry several times.)#lalege
