  • What GOP's plan for Medicaid work requirements would mean

    May 1, 2023

    WASHINGTON - More than a half million of the poorest Americans could be left without health insurance under legislation passed by House Republicans that would require people to work in exchange for health care coverage through Medicaid. It's one of dozens of provisions tucked into a GOP bill that would allow for an increase in the debt limit but curb government spending over the next decade. The bill is unlikely to become law, though. It is being used by House Republicans to draw Democrats to...

  • GOP election officials walking fine line on fraud, integrity

    May 1, 2023

    COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Republican secretaries of state in Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri have promoted their states' elections as fair and secure.
