BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It . . .
Recently at CBPP, we focused on the federal budget, immigration, health, and the economy.
- On the federal budget, David Reich cautioned that non-defense funding could face steep cuts in 2025 if policymakers fail to make needed adjustments to current funding caps.
- On immigration, Shelby Gonzalez pointed out that immigration-related barriers result in high uninsured rates within all racial and ethnic groups.
- On health, we updated our resource tracking states’ unwinding from Medicaid continuous coverage.
- On the economy, we updated our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available per state.
