If the Medicaid work reporting requirement is fully implemented, I feel fairly sure that the labor force participation rate among Medicaid enrollees will decline. Most of the folks who lose coverage will be people who are working & most of the rest will be exempt & non-working.

Great conversation tonight with very knowledgeable folks. It’s crystal clear that Medicaid plays a central role in KY, and our state lawmakers have their work cut out for them to protect it from historically massive federal cuts.

I am deeply committed to my faith, and part of that means I meditate on Matthew chapters 5 and 25 often. What happened today in congress really runs across the grain of both of those chapters, and certainly doesn't represent my beliefs and values. I hope/pray we repent quickly.

Our statement at @KyPolicy about the passage of extreme cuts that take health and food programs from the poor to partially offset tax cuts that primarily benefit the rich - all while adding trillions to the national debt.

This coming from a guy who was actively involved ih the 1996 PRWORA fight, which eviscerated cash assistance, slashed food assistance, and added mountains of paperwork for poor people. This is dead serious.

Great piece from @lbblackford about how terrifying the cuts to Medicaid are for the people who use it to see a doctor and take needed medicines. There is a real, emotional, physical, human toll that these funding cuts will take.
