An eye-catching WaPo story about poor patients in Missouri being sued to pay their medical bills - and the rural hospitals struggling to stay open - completely ignores that Missouri rejected Medicaid expansion. washingtonpost.com/national/the-f…
The two previous stories in this WaPo series - on struggling rural patients and hospitals - also skipped over how each GOP-led state in the series has rejected Medicaid expansion.

It’s possible these are deliberate omissions - either to try and focus on people (over politics) or save for a “reveal” later in the series.
But it’s an odd disconnect. Would be like assigning a top writer to big series on struggling soybean farmers that ignores Trump’s tariffs.
