This is sociopathic. "Sure, they're happier, healthier, less impoverished, and able to get preventative care—but these other numbers related to chronic conditions weren't magically fixed in two years."
In 2008, Oregon used a lottery to expand its Medicaid program, which allowed researchers to compare outcomes after two years for people who received Medicaid and those who didn't. They found that people on Medicaid were more likely than those without health insurance to get preventive care and to report being in better health. Those on Medicaid were also less likely to be depressed or get hit with big medical bills. But the researchers turned up no differences between the two groups on three specific measures of physical health: cholesterol levels, blood pressure and keeping diabetes under control. "I think that should raise some very big questions in our mind about the effectiveness of Medicaid," Archambault said. In a series of evaluations, researchers took advantage of a lottery that gave low-income uninsured adults the chance to apply for Medicaid in the United States to examine the impact of health insurance on these outcomes over the first two years. They found that Medicaid coverage increased health care use, including use of preventive services and visits to emergency departments; reduced financial strain; reduced depression, and improved self-reported health. However, they did not find evidence that Medicaid coverage improved physical health or affected employment.

Breaking: After tens of thousands killed, Israel and Hamas agree to a ceasefire
After tens of thousands killed, Israel and Hamas agree to a ceasefire
The deal should bring the release of hostages and the drawing back of Israeli forces. But it is unclear if it will hold for long.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

She’s right, you know.
Twitter post by Melanie D'Arrigo stating: 'They aren’t going to find $2T in waste. They aren’t going to lower grocery prices. They aren’t going to fix immigration. They are however going to give themselves trillions in tax breaks, and pay for them by cutting Social Security and Medicare.' Below the text, there is an image of an NBC News article headline: 'Elon Musk says DOGE probably won’t find $2 trillion in federal budget cuts' with a subheading: 'Musk previously said his Department of Government Efficiency would be able to recommend cuts to the federal budget of “at least $2 trillion.”
