The Medicaid work requirement the House passed this morning is the strictest version of the policy that Congress has ever put forward. Diving into the details with @sangerkatz: https://t.co/ptCxQjDFtp
Medicaid is a more cost-effective way to save lives than lots of other things the government pays for, like vehicle inspections or some cancer treatments. More from me + @sangerkatz on a big new Medicaid study: https://t.co/fQ7dl4PnmH https://t.co/yRkcEyxrB7
