Because Congress has failed to act, Julie & Hugh's #ACA insurance premium is set to jump 7x, from $32 a month to $229 a month. Like millions of working people across this country, they are feeling real fear and anxiety about how they'll get by.

Today would have been Ady’s 42nd bday.
Since his ALS diagnosis, Ady was always scheming about ways to turn his personal pain into public power. In that spirit, our team has something brewing for 2026 — something for patients, by patients, building the healthcare system Ady believed we all deserve.

GOP-sponsored Medicaid work requirements will cut more than $325 billion — doing nothing to serve working people and everything for greedy billionaires eagerly waiting for their next tax break.

D-...did he just compare health insurance to shampoo...?
"Giving the patient the power" means universal health care, empowering patients to get the care they need without having to penny pinch. Sending a check won't make a dent in mounding medical bills. #MedicareforAll. We can afford it.

"Trump’s most significant legislative achievement this year delivered historic cuts to health programs (like Medicaid and CHIP) that are estimated to strip 10 million people of their health insurance coverage by 2034. More than 1 million AIAN individuals rely on Medicaid and CHIP."

There's a reason why the ACA is so popular...
✅ Historically low uninsured rates
✅ Improved health outcomes
✅ Reduced health inequities
✅ Reduced medical debt

Republicans are crushing it with health care. Literally.
First, they slashed Medicaid by $1,000,000,000,000. Now, they're holding working and low-income families hostage, wanting MORE cuts to funding that makes care possible for millions. #Shame. #GOPShutdown

The GOP agenda is on full display: Corporations over people. Self interests over the health of their constituents. Gambling with the lives of people they swore to represent.

Trump rambled over six whole minutes about everything except the question posed when a reporter pointed out: Immigrants without legal status aren't eligible for ACA tax credits, Medicaid, nor Medicare.

Republicans don't seem troubled by the possibility of ~24 million Americans not being able to afford their health care. They should listen more closely to the people who will be impacted by their decisions.

Don't be fooled by GOP lies. There is no fiscal argument, no moral reasoning, no logical excuse why Congress can't extend #ACA subsidies and save health care for nearly 24 million Americans.

The "relatively small number being effected" he's talking about here are nearly 24 MILLION people on #ACA plans. 24 million of our family members, neighbors, friends who may not be able to afford health care because Republicans allowed these subsidies to expire. Congress must act now!

8 months into a job and still clueless about basic data? That's grounds for termination in any role, let alone one responsible for national health!
RFK Jr. is wholly unfit for this position.

Blaming immigration for America's worsening health care is laughable. Blaming immigrants for #Medicaid cuts when you know full well it's your billionaire donors sucking our systems dry? That's downright shameful.

LBJ wasn't perfect, but he recognized our future as a country depends on our health. His political will & fierce public activism made Medicaid/Medicare possible, and we'll defend them until we secure a single-payer system that guarantees quality, equitable health care for all.
