What isn't surprising: work requirements are reducing coverage because of paperwork burdens What is surprising: apparently The Pitt had a storyline that demonstrated the difficulty of navigating Medicaid redeterminations
“Hopefully we’ll be back on Medicaid by then.”

“How’d you lose it?”

“They sent a redetermination letter to our old apartment. It didn’t get forwarded.”

“And you haven’t been able to get it back since?”

“I’ve been trying for months. To get re-enrolled, you need tax returns, pay stubs… I cut hair. My income fluctuates.”

– The Pitt, Season 2, Episode 13

Public opinion doesn't DO anything and is not correlated with policy. BUT it can be a resource if people want to organize.

For the next few months, if you have a 400m+ lens, maybe a 300mm, you can get great sunset silhouette shots from across the street at Bolsa Chica State Beach. Gonna try to schedule a session with my brother and his dog. ignore the yellow line that's sunrise.
A picture of bolsa Chica State Beach where there's a walking path right next to the beach and you're basically at water level so you're able to get a good Sunset shot that's super predictable. You have to stand across the street

Question for any historians (or historian-like people) on here: Any recommended articles about the 19th century US Populists' thinking on money and banking? I've read Lawrence Goodwyn and Michael Kazin. But there must be lots of more recent stuff. Thanks!

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.
