What’s Your Healthcare Color Palette?
I’m loving Sherwin-Williams’ healthcare color palette. Which one is called “Missouri’s Voters Passed a Referendum on Medicaid Expansion But Can’t Get It Implemented Because of Blockage By Their Own Elected Officials?” Maybe a kind of muddy color?
Medicaid Expansion: Missouri Style
I had to laugh when a reporter asked me, this morning, what you would say in response to a “what’s the problem?” question on Missouri’s Medicaid expansion. What’s the problem, you say?
