The Pithy Take

KFF is a non-partisan non-profit, and is a leading health policy organization in the U.S. KFF offers policy research, polling, health news, and data, as well as a very helpful Medicaid 101 crash course. They ask and answer things like: “How has Medicaid evolved over time?” and “How do Medicaid demonstration waivers work?” and “How much does Medicaid spend and on what?” It’s a very useful (and recent) primer on Medicaid and its impact.
