The day's biggest story is the quiet erosion of American healthcare coverage, with over ten million people likely losing insurance under the new administration. While the White House spins fraud concerns, the data tells a starker tale. Elsewhere, the UK pushes back on information warfare and California's AG caves on Paramount.
The numbers are in, and they're bad. The administration's focus on fraud is colliding with a sharp drop in enrollments.
The CMS data shows a drop of nearly 5.1 million in Medicaid and CHIP since January, and the author argues the real number of total coverage losses is over ten million. That's not a rounding error; it's a policy outcome.
