    An eye-catching WaPo story about poor patients in Missouri being sued to pay their medical bills - and the rural hospitals struggling to stay open - completely ignores that Missouri rejected Medicaid expansion.https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/the-follow-up-appointment/2019/08/17/1be5ded6-b936-11e9-a091-6a96e67d9cce_story.html …

        The two previous stories in this WaPo series - on struggling rural patients and hospitals - also skipped over how each GOP-led state in the series has rejected Medicaid expansion.https://twitter.com/ddiamond/status/1143004342661844993?s=21 …

        This WaPo story on Tennessee’s rural-health crisis is powerful — but it only mentions the state’s rejection of Medicaid expansion once, in passing. A similar WaPo story last month, on Oklahoma’s crisis, didn’t mention the state’s Medicaid rejection at all. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/the-clinic-of-last-resort/2019/06/22/2833c8a0-92cc-11e9-aadb-74e6b2b46f6a_story.html?utm_term=.dc238c6c35ea …

        It’s possible these are deliberate omissions - either to try and focus on people (over politics) or save for a “reveal” later in the series. But it’s an odd disconnect. Would be like assigning a top writer to big series on struggling soybean farmers that ignores Trump’s tariffs.pic.twitter.com/RBn5ghxEIH

        Amazing how those vitally important details seem to somehow always end up on the editing room floor. (If they ever make it into the piece in the first place.)

        Missouri residents in poor health: "Would you like Medicaid to be expanded? If it was, you would get free healthcare, but you will need to vote for the Dem's". "No, I'll pass on free healthcare, and I will vote for the GOP, because the brown people are gonna come take my stuff"

        Good on you for calling this out. How do you not include this?
