The House’s budget passed 215-214, with an acceleration of work requirements in Medicaid from 2029 to the end of 2026.

What does this mean for states and what are the operational and implementation questions?

This is a big statement… but I think my favorite Cleveland baseball player of all time may just have to be Jose Ramirez.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Some costs aren’t costs.
One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss
Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

Data from @commonwealthfund.org suggests Ohio would lose over $2.8B/yr in federal funding from the proposed House Resolution to cut Medicaid/SNAP.

Ohio would also lose over 38k jobs, $573.2M in state tax revenue and $260.5M in local tax revenue.

REPORT: www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...
How Potential Federal Cuts to Medicaid and SNAP Could Trigger the Loss of a Million-Plus Jobs, Reduced Economic Activity, and Less State Revenue
Combined losses from proposed cuts to Medicaid and SNAP would reach $1.1 trillion over a decade, including a $95 billion loss of federal funding in 2026 alone.

New @kff.org brief shows Ohioans will lose about 39% of the Medicaid benefits, per resident, representing about $3B/year if Congress finds $880M in budget cuts.

This includes a loss of coverage for 151k seniors/persons with disabilities and 954k kids.

The modern-day childhood vaccine schedule has allowed children to grow into healthy adults — something all parents hoped for in the centuries when diseases emptied towns, destroyed economies, ravaged battalions, overwhelmed hospitals and vexed nurses and doctors.
