Matthew Yglesias is currently discussing the controversy surrounding Medicaid cuts, with many people, including him, expressing concern that millions of people will lose their health insurance. He and others are criticizing the lack of attention to this issue, particularly given its unpopularity among Democrats and the general public. The proposed cuts are part of a larger bill, and Yglesias is urging people to pay attention to this critical issue.

"Let me steelman a little: X. Most small business owners are risk averse with their capital structure because they are undiversified. X. PE funds improve returns by buying many businesses with leverage creating a diverse portfolio of businesses each of which is now at greater risk of failure than before. X. This is perfectly rational business behavior and in some sense makes the overall capital structure of the USA more efficient. X. But business failure poses a lot of downside risk to non-equity stakeholders employees local governments etc who lose out due to this risk transformation"
