Opinion Piece on Political Climate References Medicaid Work Requirements

This is an opinion column using 'The Wizard of Oz' as a metaphor for contemporary political concerns. The author references a National Public Radio headline about Americans losing Medicaid coverage under work requirements in Nebraska. No specific Medicaid policy, rule, waiver, or program action is reported. The piece is a personal essay about political engagement, not a policy document or news report analyzing Medicaid program changes.
