Up to 2.1 million in Medicaid disenrolled as of yesterday with most states reporting large share of procedural denials. Absolutely terrible.

And most big states still to come.

A good example of the common disconnect between policymaking and policy implementation https://t.co/eKZoeGlufq

Latest map from @KFF shows amazingly widespread and relatively quick adoption of 12 mos postpartum Medicaid coverage option.

Arkansas, Idaho, and Iowa policymakers should be embarrassed that they are the only states to have done nothing on this front for new moms.

THIS IS A FUCKING OUTRAGE. THEY CAN’T STOP KILLING PEOPLE AT RIKERS SO THEY ARE JUST GOING TO STOP TELLING US. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

So agree with this new paper by @TracyWeitz & Jenny O'Donnell -- we need to expand our conceptualization and measurement of abortion access. If Roe was the floor, then so are metrics limited to laws or distance. We can do more.

For years, some U.S. doctors have disregarded the expertise of midwives - particularly Black midwives. That tension is highlighted in the story of infant Mila Jackson, who was taken from her parents by CPS in Texas last month. My latest for @19thnews https://t.co/RnBCCrOe0D
