WA Lost $654M in a Children's Health Typo?!
Washington state underreported its children's health insurance spending to the federal government for five years. The result? Federal funding dropped from $250 million a year to $133 million — and the state is already $100 million in the hole. If it's not corrected by 2031, the total damage could hit $654 million. Governor Ferguson says there's light at the end of the tunnel. Jake and Spike get into it over whether cutting a proposed $16 billion increase down to $9 billion counts as a "cut." Spike's answer is simple: an increase is not a cut.
