After 10 years & months of intensive preparation, EJ was told 13 hours before surgery that their gender-affirming procedure was canceled—due to hospital religious policies. Health care decisions should be between patients & doctors, not dictated by religious doctrine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wHM...

Medicaid strengthens Medicare for ALL Medicare enrollees--not just the 12 million people enrolled in both programs. Read our new resources developed with @justiceinaging.org, Center for Medicare Advocacy, and @communitycatalyst.org to learn how cuts to Medicaid are cuts to Medicare.

🚨The recent #measles outbreak in Texas exposes systemic failures in public health. Rising misinformation & weakened #vaccine policies, promoted by Health Secretary RFK Jr., put our communities’ lives at risk. It's time for the public to be at the center of public health: commcat.io/3DlrJYF

Thirty percent of Medicaid funding supports Medicare enrollees. When you cut Medicaid, you cut Medicare. Read more in our @justiceinaging.org factsheet and issue brief with @medicarerights.bsky.social, Center for Medicare Advocacy, & @communitycatalyst.org. justiceinaging.org/a-cut-to-med...

RFK Jr.'s proposal to eliminate HHS public comment process is a direct attack on democracy & health justice. This would silence the voices of those most affected by the inequities in our health care system while amplifying corporate power. We urge policymakers to oppose this. >> commcat.io/4kqJBC4

“Current budget proposals from the Trump administration and the Republican majority in Congress prioritize tax breaks for corporations and high-income earners and threaten essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP that millions of lower- and middle-income families rely on.” #HandsOffMedicaid

While people die from rationing insulin and avoiding care they can't afford, the ultra-wealthy exploit tax loopholes that could fund health care for EVERYONE. How much longer will we allow our tax code to value corporate profits over human lives? commcat.io/3DhLsIE

When UnitedHealth used AI to deny care to Medicare patients, the algorithm wasn't malfunctioning. It was perfectly executing its true purpose: protecting profits, not patients. How can we reclaim health care innovation from greedy corporations? Read more: commcat.io/4gV3NsY

Medicaid helps millions of kids across the country get services in their communities and in schools. Yesterday’s House vote to gut Medicaid will reduce care for children with disabilities, undermine efforts to address youth mental health, and put MORE burden on schools. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

A8: Millions of people across the country rely on Medicaid for their addiction treatment, overdose prevention, and recovery support, and Medicaid is the largest payor of substance use disorder treatment in the country. #WellnessWednesday #MedicaidMatters

We should be doing WHATEVER WE CAN to support birthing parents, and particularly birthing parents from marginalized communities. Cuts to these programs are unconscionable. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

R7: Las consecuencias a largo plazo serían devastadoras, creando una cadena de eventos que llevarían a que los estados tengan comunidades más enfermas. Verían niveles más altos de enfermedades que pueden ser prevenidas ya que los programs de detección temprana y la vacunación desaparecerían.

A3: The long-term consequences of Medicaid cuts would be devastating, creating a cascade of negative health outcomes. States would see higher rates of preventable diseases as screening programs disappear and vaccinations decline. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

A6: Racism is a leading cause for pregnancy related mortality among Black and American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN) parents. Increased access to care, like in the 49 states that have expanded postpartum Medicaid coverage, helps protect birthing parents when they are most at risk. #WellnessWed

a5: Medicaid covers 1 in 5 non-elderly women- increasing access to essential care like reproductive, birthing and postpartum services. Medicaid is critical in turning the tides on maternal mortality- but not if Congress guts funding to pay for tax cuts. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

C3: Medicaid ayuda a que los niños puedan ir al médico y ser vacunados. Para los adultos mayores, los ayuda a costear enfermeros en sus hogares. Para personas con discapacidades, Medicaid los ayuda a pagar equipos como sillas de ruedas.

A4: Rural hospitals have been under threat for years. In FL 4 have closed since 2019. We know that in MedEx states, rural hospitals have had a much better chance at staying afloat. Cutting Medicaid funding is the last thing rural communities across the country need. #WellnessWed

A4: Massive Medicaid cuts would drain billions from state economies, hitting rural areas hardest. Over 600 rural hospitals could shut down, leaving those areas without access to care. #WellnessWed #HandsOffMedicaid

A4: Half of rural adults not in the labor force report that it is because they are ill or have disabilities. Proposed cuts to Medicaid like work requirements will do more to prevent employment than increasing it by kicking people off the care they need to be healthy enough to work! #WellnessWed

A2: Medicaid made up 56% of federal funding to states in 2024. Any cuts to Medicaid would force states to make impossible choices like cutting or eliminating enrollment, services, and access to care to make up for the loss in federal funding. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

House Republicans just voted to gut #Medicaid— threatening to take health care away from 72 MILLION people—to fund MORE tax breaks for BILLIONAIRES. They're willing to risk LIVES to pad BANK ACCOUNTS. The Senate must reject this dangerous proposal >> commcat.io/4gXMrM2

"It would just open the doors for so many people like me." After life-saving surgery, Misty's $20K medical debt destroyed her credit, making it impossible to rent or get loans. The CFPB rule keeping medical debt off credit reports is now under threat. time.com/7222139/cons...
