Stopping the churn: Why some states want to guarantee Medicaid coverage from birth to age 6

Before the covid-19 public health emergency began in 2020, millions of children churned on and off Medicaid each year — an indication that many were losing coverage because of administrative problems, rather than because their family's income had increased and made them ineligible.

Model alveolar system mimics the breathing action of human lungs

Alveoli are the basic functional units of the human respiratory system, acting as tiny air sacs that exchange gases. Air inhaled through the mouth and nose flows into the lungs through the branched structure of the bronchial tubes, and the alveoli appear in the deep sections of this network.
