Some Americans who rely on Medicaid to pay for their health care don’t realize their insurance is funded by that very program, which congressional Republicans are looking to shrink. One reason is that state programs aren’t always called “Medicaid.” Many states have rebranded their programs with consumer-friendly names such as SoonerCare in Oklahoma, Apple Health in Washington, Medi-Cal in California or TennCare in Tennessee.

Dr. Fred Levin has been watching with growing alarm the national debate around federal cuts to Medicaid. He’s responsible for the medical care of about 100 older adults at the Community PACE center in rural Newaygo, Michigan.

Denny is one of my favorite former colleagues. Full of talent, compassionate, deeply sourced, respected. The closure of @reckonnews is sad for many reasons, but I will miss reporting like Denny's. News orgs, y'all need to snap her up before someone else does.

today @reckonnews shut down, marking an end to my two years at the newsroom. as one of the very few trans women of color covering LGBTQ politics at a national level—especially rampant anti-trans legislation, i stand by my work with a great deal of reverence 🙂↕️ (1/8)
