The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

Around 80,000,000 people in the US are on Medicaid. Many don't even realize it because it's called something different in every state:
KanCare
MassHealth
MedQuest
Apple Health
These cuts will:
A. Plunge states into deficit
B. Force states to slash enrollment
C. Likely, both of the above
