More emphasis on point #2 please1 The press uses loss of coverage as if it were the only measure, but what if losing Medicaid doesn’t hurt health outcomes (vs., eg, going to ER)? There was that Oregon study! Cohn cites recent studies showing better mortality with coverage. https://t.co/NERGDVnY9I

Ever since mass immigration began anew in the late 20th century, advocates have pointed to the “Great Wave” to insist we could handle it. After all, the foreign-born share [was] still below the “Great Wave” peak. “We’ve been here before,” they would say. It’s no longer true.
