“There was no consideration or reasonable basis for the Order," wrote judge Richard Blaiklock. "No findings, no analysis, no documented assessment to justify shutting down a federally funded housing stability program months before it was set to run out of federal money."

Don’t be fooled by bad analysis about Medicaid waste. Medicaid is our most cost-efficient health insurance program, providing high-quality care at a fraction of private insurance costs. @NHeLP_org thehill.com/opinion/healthca…

Don’t believe the naysayers: Medicaid is a true story of health care efficiency 

The conservative playbook has long distorted Medicaid’s finances to justify deep and dangerous structural cuts.
