Consider This from NPR - Republicans say Medicaid is safe. But budget math says otherwise

House Republicans have to get their spending bill passed by Friday to avoid a government shutdown. They can likely afford to lose just one vote.

And that's the easy part.

Then they'll have to get working on their plan to extend 4.5 trillion dollars in tax cuts passed under the Trump administration — a plan that will require huge cuts in government spending.

Republicans are adamant that cuts to Medicaid are a non-starter. But the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office released a report last week that said Republicans' budget likely would require cuts to Medicaid or Medicare.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Behind The Global Fight For Human Rights: ‘It’s A Matter Of Playing Hardball’

Russia and China are no fans of his. Egypt wouldn’t even let him in the country. As the executive director of Human Rights Watch, Kenneth Roth spent 30 years investigating and standing up to the world’s most ruthless oppressors. During that time, he exposed war crimes, confronted authoritarian regimes and, on more than one occasion, found himself in the crosshairs. Reset checks in with Roth about his new book Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments, and how he found shame to be a useful tool in holding governments accountable. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.
