Do ideas or political demand drive welfare reform? @ewanrobo.bsky.social shows how ideational power, not voter pressure, shaped in-work benefits in the UK and France. Read OPEN ACCESS: buff.ly/EGt2uCw

This is an important paper showing how access to safety net benefits is directly related to mortality. Cuts to services, even in the guise of work requirements, will lead to unnecessary deaths!
Talk about some timely research.
Here's the punchline: "Loss of drug subsidies after Medicaid disenrollment was associated with higher mortality among low-income Medicare beneficiaries."
