This week at CBPP, we focused on the federal budget, health, Social Security, and the economy.
* On the federal budget, Richard Kogan urged ([link removed]) policymakers to agree on a budget deal, which is needed to protect key investments.
* On health, Matt Broaddus described ([link removed]) how the Medicaid enrollment decline among adults and children is too large to be explained by falling unemployment.
* On Social Security, Kathleen Romig updated her research ([link removed]) finding that Social Security lifts more Americans above poverty than any other program.
* On the economy, we updated our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation ([link removed]) are available.
