Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year
Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

New Health Affairs Scholar article on postpartum care under Medicaid. 76% had a visit between 61-365 days after birth, but this varied by state and individual factors. Our findings show benefits of recent 12-mo. postpartum extensions but suggest where gaps in care remain.
