Medicaid crackdown: The Trump administration is targeting state Medicaid Fraud Control Units, warning some states may lose federal funding if they don’t step up enforcement. Sun safety check: A new Environmental Working Group guide says only about 20% of tested sunscreens are both safe and effective, urging shoppers to look for broad UVA/UVB protection.
