You may know that every year, 72 million Americans get health insurance & care thanks to #Medicaid. But many Americans don’t know this. Part of my work involves helping people understand how #healthcare & health policies work, or don’t work. To that end, I'm asking you to share this explainer video.

You might know that every year, 72 million Americans get health insurance and health care thanks to #Medicaid. But most Americans don’t know this. Please take a moment to watch our short video explaining how the Medicaid works & who it helps, and please consider sharing it with your people!

In rural America, Medicaid is more than health insurance—it’s a bridge to care and stability for millions. To get a better sense of the role #Medicaid plays in rural communities—and the stakes if funding is cut--see this piece by @joanalker1.bsky.social and @edwincpark.bsky.social.

Our new survey out today finds nearly one in four U.S. working age adults have health coverage all year but are underinsured, facing high out-of-pocket costs or deductibles relative to their income that lead many to skip needed care or take on medical debt. www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...

Just letting everyone know you can read findings from the new report, and other Commonwealth Fund research @commonwealthfund.bsky.social

New survey: Among underinsured Americans, 66% have employer-sponsored health plans with out-of-pocket costs so high it keeps many from accessing needed care. Said another way, many people with health coverage still cannot afford health care in the U.S. www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...
