up to 15 million people were casually thrown off medicaid this week and basically no one in TV media noticed or cared. I wrote about how bipartisan gutting of “pandemic-era” aid barely gets a mention in US media because its victims are obscure and poor. https://t.co/vUdmUpTaH4

Pretty remarkable that America temporarily constructed a safety net during Covid — including major health care coverage, food benefits, anti poverty funding for families & kids, etc — and then just systematically and slowly demolished it

A requirement that kept people on Medicaid during the coronavirus pandemic has come to an end, and 15 million people — nearly half of which are Black or Hispanic — could lose their coverage as a result. https://t.co/FRw1Hey2qE

Starting today, around 15 million people will be kicked off Medicaid. This is what happens when governments pretend the pandemic is over, instead of acknowledging COVID is a long-term issue that continues to harm and requires lasting structural changes.https://t.co/eyBaS94FNS
