One under-the-radar #Medicaid proposal would cut DC's matching rate from 70% to 50%. @urbaninstitute.bsky.social estimates find D.C. must increase its own spending by $10.3B/10 years or by 63% to maintain its program not counting other cuts that shift more costs to D.C. www.urban.org/research/pub...

Thread on my new blog on how taking a step back and looking at the combined effect of several #Medicaid cuts under consideration by House GOP yields a clear conclusion: they would together end the #Medicaid expansion and terminate coverage for 21 million people: ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/05/01/c...
