Many states expanded care for children, older adults and workers

A new report found that over half of U.S. states expanded care for children, older adults, and disabled people in the past two years, but federal cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and Obamacare subsidies are creating budget constraints. The Century Foundation and Caring Across Generations highlighted states like California and New York for progress, while Alabama and Mississippi ranked lowest. Federal policy changes under a tax and spending measure signed by President Donald Trump have reduced funding for social services.
