With Medicaid cutbacks on the horizon, millions in the U.S. are expected to go uninsured. In the Mississippi Delta region — one of the poorest places in the U.S. — people are worried.

At least 17 states have taken steps to ensure broader access to the COVID-19 vaccine since last month. The moves represent an extraordinary state rebellion against the public health authority of the federal government.

“I think it’s unfair. I understand that there are some people who abuse the system,” B. told Stateline. “There are also people who are in need. And cutting help for families like mine — not being able to get the help — it will be very difficult.”stateline.org/2025/08/21/mos…

New Jersey veterans will go hungry because of a bill that @Jack4NJ enthusiastically supported.
He should be ashamed of himself.

Public Health Watch rarely covers breaking news, but its investigative reporting is often tied to the news — and sometimes foreshadows it. A case in point: the push to slash health coverage for the poor.

About 68% of Americans said they favored a Medicaid work requirement in a recent @KFF poll. That dropped to 35% when they learned most recipients already work and could lose coverage due to paperwork problems.

The effects of this big stupid bill will be devastating for so many people in Louisiana. This is not debatable. (This article made me cry several times.)#lalege
Here's a very detailed look at what the Medicaid cut means for rural Louisiana residents in the Mississippi Delta (one of the poorest parts of the country).

U.S. House passes Trump's tax bill, which mostly benefits the rich & cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid.
Experts say the cuts will devastate rural places. Residents are worried, scared & angry.
