I have the luck or unluck of dealing with Congress most days. And so what is currently being proposed is almost $900 billion in cuts to the Medicaid program. which frankly, that's like how much the country spent more than, but around how much they spend per year to cut the entire program. And what that would do is shift a ton of that responsibility, fiscal responsibility to the states

There is not a state in the country that has the amount of money to make up for any cut of that size in federal funding. And so ultimately what that would do is completely rock the foundation of the Medicaid program. And right now they've passed step one.
