On the federal budget, Richard Kogan urged policymakers to agree on a budget deal, which is needed to protect key investments. On health, Matt Broaddus described how the Medicaid enrollment decline among adults and children is too large to be explained by falling unemployment. On Social Security, Kathleen Romig updated her research finding that Social Security lifts more Americans above poverty than any other program. On the economy, we updated our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available.
