A Facebook comment claiming that only “illegals” lost Medicaid benefits gave me an opportunity to explain something many Americans don’t know: millions of retirees rely on Medicaid to help pay their Medicare Part B premiums.

As always, I welcome thoughtful disagreement. Vic Meyers for Democracy This is a public episode.
