Medicaid is a more cost-effective way to save lives than lots of other things the government pays for, like vehicle inspections or some cancer treatments.

Before he was picked as Kamala Harris' running mate, Tim Walz had done some important work on Medicaid and disability. AARP actually ranked Minnesota number one for long-term services and supports. It's one of the better states for home care.

Been thinking..
NAEP should be EVERY year (vs every 2 yrs).
NAEP shows which states are improving/declining. (States tests don't show trends when they keep changing).
NAEP uses a sample. Scores are by state, not district or school.
The pressure would be on states to improve.
