An elderly friend of mine received a letter yesterday saying her Medicaid has been canceled. I was surprised how quickly Musk and his cronies acted on ending Medicaid for some people. She, of course, is upset as she is a low income senior almost 80 years old.
A Florida vacation sounds fantastic! We were supposed to go to a professional conference for my wife in Orlando earlier this month but canceled due to her knee issues progressing. The good news is a total knee replacement is happening (she got the other one done 2 years ago and it has been amazing).
But it was snowy in Denver and I looked at the 80° temps in Orlando and missed my poolside chaise. Enjoy!
Great article. The 90% / 10% is for Medicaid Expansion. The split for traditional Medicaid varies by state, but in all cases the Feds are still paying more than the states. Here's a breakdown done by Pew. The only state in the US currently getting a block grant for traditional Medicaid is TN.

Oh, that's awful! We live in a cruel, new world.
