My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Is there any estimate — national, state-level, I'll take any estimate — of the share of Medicaid beneficiaries whose enrollment is prompted by/at a medical visit? (Versus filling out application paperwork outside of/without the help of a health care provider.)

All I want for Christmas is policies with a high MVPF. Funded by taxes. Instead of whatever Michael Dell feels like doing with his money.
Or **and hear me out**, we could do the boring, normal thing where we tax rich people and fund public programs that help everyone.
Infinitely preferable to outsourcing social policy to whichever billionaire feels whimsical this week.

I'm on the #EconJobMarket! I study how policies and childhood environments shape outcomes of low-income & vulnerable kids.
In my JMP, I study the effects of allowing youth who would have aged out of foster care at 18 to stay until 21—offering support their peers not in foster care get from parents.
