The Take

This turns HHS's huge Medicaid dump into a near-instant lookup: search 7.1K procedures (HCPCS/CPT), compare state-by-state averages, and browse by service categories or territories. The interface surfaces useful aggregates (avg payment, total claims, totals paid) and a map for quick comparisons — very handy for reporters and policy folks. I’d like clearer methodology notes and an obvious CSV/API download, but as a public-facing explorer it makes otherwise opaque data immediately usable.

Post Description

After DOGE HHS open-sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in department history yesterday, I built a frontend to make it easy to explore. You can search 7,100+ procedures across all 54 states/territories, compare reimbursement rates state by state, and browse by service category (dental, therapy, nursing home, etc.). Data covers 2.7B total claims and $181.7B in payments for 2024. Built with SvelteKit, Cloudflare workers, D1. The raw data is from HHS Open Data (opendata.hhs.gov).

Rethinking the UI = F(State) Model

Targets fuse data and behavior into ordered, self-contained blocks so your code reads like a sequence (width animates, then color, then fetch) instead of juggling promises and external animation libs. The built-in Web Animations usage and the $$ wait-syntax are neat, opinionated moves — but it's still a bold, niche bet against mature motion ecosystems and will need strong integration stories to win broad adoption.
