Beyond the expected Medicaid cuts, which will be an enormous burden on the states and cause more layoffs in public and private sectors, the reduction of extended premium support under Obamacare--less noticed so far--will strike at the heart of the working-class MAGA constituency. Your earlier suggestion to focus on the state programs as they are experienced--TennCare, etc--are spot on.
Question on Medicare advantage: as a nonprofit, does Kaiser also upcode its members (me) to be sicker than we are? Would cutting MA payments negatively affect Kaiser and other non-profit providers in ways that affect us clients? Thanks for your important work!
Condolences to the many hardworking, super talented people whose lives have been upended. This is not how our country is supposed to work.

Thanks for this deep dive. I will surely be referring back to it.
