Please read and share this story. Grateful to @nbcnews.com for running this series on how cuts to Medicaid will dramatically alter how families care for disabled sons, daughters, and spouses. Great work, @mikehixenbaugh.com, and thank you for reporting. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Families caring for disabled relatives face unthinkable choices as Medicaid cuts loom

President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” state budget turmoil and new attacks on paid family caregiving have people fearing financial ruin as they fight to keep loved ones out of institutions.

My department decided to admit fewer students for next year due to all of these uncertainties. The long-term viability of our graduate programming now seems unclear. Training the next generation of scholars is one of the best parts of my job and a core mission of R1 institutions. Dark times indeed.
