Do Medicaid work requirements work? It depends on what you mean. If by "work" you mean successfully kick a lot of people off coverage, thus saving states money, yes. If by "work" you mean actually increasing the number of beneficiaries who have jobs, unequivocally, no.

One common argument against #Medicaid expansion: You can't trust the federal government to hold up its end of the bargain - maintaining 90% match for expansion populations. FUN FACT: In Medicaid's 57 year history, the federal government has NEVER reduced federal match. (1/2)

There is literally no amount of money you could pay me to live in The Villages. I'd rather live under a bridge. I'm 100% serious.

In FL-11, Laura Loomer trails Rep. Dan Webster 51-44% in the GOP primary. She actually leads by 4 in Sumter (The Villages) with just about all the votes in there, but Webster is crushing her in Orange County and ahead in Lake. Small slice of Polk in district too w/ no votes yet

@cjscalia The Supreme Court is doing a fine job delegitimizing themselves.

This is why I love @mfcannon . Troll says nasty (and untrue!) stuff about Cato. Michael responds in the most pedantic and hilarious way possible.

@CMichaelGibson I have an android and have never bought an apple project for my own use in my entire life. So yeah, give me $10k.

I try to avoid schadenfreude as much as I can, but there is no other way to view the literal bankruptcy of this company as anything other than poetic justice for a company that was morally bankrupt in every way.

If you want some fun healthcare Sunday reading, I wrote about the rise and fall of Envision Healthcare. A classic case study in financial engineering in healthcare rather than providing any sort of real value. Read it here!

@813JAFERD @aafp You may be surprised to find I agree with you 100%. Primary care docs should be getting a lot more money.

@mfcannon Good point. I'd be interested in seeing the data for the decade before the ACA. I haven't studied insurer consolidation as much as provider consolidation, but the latter has been going on since the 90s. ACA didn't help, but is probably not the main cause of provider mergers.
