The way the Dallas Fed trims PCE measure is it essentially trims 24% off of the top and 31% off of the bottom.

My big worry is, is that we see the intersection of Medicaid cuts and the ACA cuts resulting in a surge in uninsurance, a rising number of Americans who are not going to the doctor.

growing numbers who are not taking the medications they need or avoiding the emergency room because they don't want to get hit with medical bills, and that this will worsen Americans' health.

The earliest was the early 1980s when Ronald Reagan signed the budget law that dramatically reduced Medicaid funding.

At the time, unemployment was rising and the U.S.

In another instance, years later.

In Tennessee in 2005, the state government passed really large Medicaid cuts because it was facing budgetary pressure.

People got less care.

People didn't see the doctor.

People didn't get mammograms.

People actually were more likely to be evicted.

And a couple of studies indicate they were also more likely to die.
