Today, I finished building a map outlining how towns in NY-21 will be negatively impacted by the passing of the "Big, Beautiful Bill," specifically focusing on the impact of the new work requirements for 19-64 aged Medicaid enrollees. Check it out here: straight-data.shinyapps.io/NY-21_Medica...

A data Hail Mary: for tmrw's election in FL-6, I created this map. In almost all incl. counties, nearly 1 in 3 residents rely on Medicare—now at risk under the current administration. Cuts would hit these counties hard, jeopardizing healthcare for many. @joshweil.bsky.social @fladems.bsky.social
