BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It…
This week at CBPP, we focused on health, federal taxes, Social Security, and the economy.
- On health, Allison Orris, Laura Harker, and Gideon Lukens noted that failing to close the coverage gap would leave millions uninsured and facing worse health outcomes. Lukens pointed to new Urban Institute data showing that women of reproductive age would face large health coverage losses if enhanced premium tax credit assistance expires. Jennifer Sullivan explained how deeper investments in housing and health can advance housing justice and health equity.
- On federal taxes, Samantha Jacoby emphasized how international tax reforms would limit multinational corporations from overseas profit shifting.
- On Social Security, Paul N. Van De Water and Kathleen Romig released an overview of the Social Security 2100 legislation. Jacoby detailed how the Senate retirement savings bill makes small improvements, but retains basic flaws of the House version. We also updated our backgrounder on understanding the Social Security trust funds.
- On the economy, we updated our chart book tracking the recovery from the pandemic recession.
