Joseph P. Kennedy III: “Do you know, roughly, how much Medicaid pays annually for that treatment? Well, about $7 billion or so.”

The Affordable Care Act is before the Supreme Court, and the Trump administration is urging the justices to throw out every aspect of the law.

And, Doctor, you touched on this already a little bit, but just to flesh this out for us a bit more, how does Medicaid expansion specifically help States to respond to the current unprecedented health and economic crisis?

Beyond the horrific loss of life caused by this pandemic and the administration's failed response, the economic consequence of job losses, business closures, imminent evictions, will last for generations.

Mistrust amongst people of color isn't surprising considering the long history of structural racism and unethical medical experimentation on this population.
