SNAP is more than food assistance—it’s a lifeline. Without it, families like Mr. Lewis’s face hunger with no safety net. When this lifeline is no longer available, people don’t just skip meals. They skip medicine. They skip rent. They skip hope. #Together4SNAP

Obesity impacts about 40% of Americans age 65+ & is linked to over 230 medical conditions. #Medicare and #Medicaid coverage of obesity treatments would help us all age well.

We urge Congress to build on this momentum and pass the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act! #TROA
