There are now 32 states (including DC) that have adopted the ACA’s Medicaid expansion. While the details of a repeal-and-replace plan are not yet available to assess its impact, a new brief <http://kff.org/medicaid/issue-brief/what-coverage-and-financing-at-risk-und…> reveals what’s potentially at stake for Medicaid in the debate by examining the changes in health coverage and financing that have occurred since the Medicaid expansion took effect in January 2014. *Link:* http://kaiserf.am/2iHUTG1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Why Corporations Are Helping Donald Trump Lie About Jobs *Author: O*p-Ed *Source:* NY Times *Date:* Jan 4, 2016 Summary: This is crony capitalism, with potentially devastating consequences. If Mr. Trump appoints people to the antitrust division and the F.C.C. who are willing to wave through a Sprint/T-Mobile merger, he will do lasting damage to the economy that far outweighs any benefit from 5,000 jobs, jobs that might have been created even without the merger. *Link:* http://nyti.ms/2iwy3ke ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library
