In Case You Missed It…

| By CBPP

Recently at CBPP, we focused on health, immigration, the federal budget, Social Security, and food assistance.

On health, Jennifer Sullivan advised how proposals to address expiring premium tax credit enhancements should be evaluated.
On immigration, Kiran Rachamallu explained the Trump Administration’s move to rescind the Biden Administration’s public charge rule will cause fear and confusion for people who are immigrants and their families.
On the federal budget, Brendan Duke testified before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, asserting that addressing the nation’s long-term fiscal problems with any constitutional amendment to require annual balanced budgets would be ill-advised.
On Social Security, Kathleen Romig highlighted ways to support low-income disabled youth as they transition to adulthood and risk losing critical income support from Supplemental Security Income.
On food assistance, we updated our review of state government SNAP websites.

The Center was active on social media this week. Here are some of our posts:

Gideon Lukens posted a thread to X and Bluesky on recent Republican health care proposals based on the false claim that people who don’t use medical care are “phantom enrollees.”
Nicole Rapfogel posted a thread to Bluesky on bronze Affordable Care Act marketplace plans, emphasizing that while they have lower premiums than silver plans, enrollees face much higher costs when they get care.
