Background

The instruments built to control care costs reached up to a state government and down to disabled patients and sick children this week, while the everyday toll of caregiving kept landing privately on workers and families.

What to watch next

  • When fraud enforcement names a state government as defendant, who carries the disruption while the case is litigated?
  • Does turning a children's health benefit into an ICE reporting requirement reduce fraud or just enrollment?
  • Why do employer benefits still skip the parent care that half of mid-career workers are doing on the job?
  • What does caregiving that both heals a relationship and exhausts the caregiver ask of the people designing support for it?
