Medicaid is not frozen.

I spend an inordinate amount of time correcting misstatements of fact from people on our side. SS website is only open from 1:00 am to 4:15 PM (false), Trump's executive order lifted the $35 cap on insulin (false), etc. etc. etc.

Yes, we need to be smart in using the media. But part of being smart is making sure our facts are straight before we start talking.
