We can’t have a real convo about our maternal health crisis w/o acknowledging racial health disparities, Medicaid, & healthcare deserts. Black women are still 3-4x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. Solutions need to include ✅ racial justice ✅ economic justice ✅ reproductive freedom.

NY’s Medicaid program, along with Child Health Plus, helps ensure children and adults have the health coverage and care they need to thrive. NY must invest in coverage in this year’s budget for the almost half million New Yorkers at risk of becoming uninsured. @medicaidmtrsny.bsky.social

Trump’s health agency ordered states to reverify the immigration status of hundreds of thousands of Medicaid enrollees. Findings from five states show they have uncovered few who are improperly receiving benefits. Experts described the reviews as "incredibly wasteful and inefficient."

Must read on how Dr Oz's estimate of alleged Medicaid fraud in NY is likely vastly overstated due to a simple math error. Scary that this is where the federal agency that runs a great deal of the US health care system is at. fiscalpolicy.org/the-basic-ma...
