“When we take away health insurance, people die. It’s just that simple.” - Dr. Claudia Fegan, testifying before the U.S. Senate

Thank you to the American Academy of Family Physicians for supporting “the absolute right of patients to access traditional Medicare” and opposing “involuntary assignment to Medicare Advantage or to private, for-profit care management.”

Private equity firms don't revive struggling hospitals any more than a chop shop fixes cars. Let's break it down. youtu.be/Q_5vYjMUKnQ

60 years ago, America did something special. Happy birthday, Medicare!

The way we offer healthcare in America is a sign of a broken system. It's time we fix it. youtube.com/shorts/lzoxY...

RFK is on a mission to spread misinformation in his role as Health and Human Services Secretary. Democrats in power need to step up and call him out as he crusades, spreading junk science and harmful lies.

"If communicated as a matter of economic freedom and a fight against the creeping corporatization of American life, a national health plan could form the cornerstone of a new economic populism from the left." Read the full article here: thephiladelphiacitizen.org/guest-commen...

"no amount of data will repair underfunded clinics, reverse physician shortages or protect patients from predatory insurers."

www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... Must read for healthcare providers. "The problem is that when it is installed in a health sector that prizes efficiency, surveillance and profit extraction, AI becomes not a tool for care and community but simply another instrument for commodifying human life."

“After a year spent organizing to try to convince the Democratic Party to unify and oppose this regime, here’s where I am: The time for convincing is over. We need new leadership.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Demand that your Dem senators call on Schumer to step aside: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal". But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

I’m no great fan of the ACA. I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system. But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

This right here.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake. I voted NO.

BREAKING: BERNIE SANDERS: “If this resolution passes tonight, we are on our way to throwing 15 million Americans off of Medicaid and the affordable care act.”

No health care, no deal.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I don’t what to say about a Dem leadership that can be undone by the likes of Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen. Saying they went over Schumer’s head is not the flex people think it is.

Amending state constitutions seemed like a long shot, but Virginia’s move shows more blue states may be willing to try, opening new possibilities.

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work. He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation. They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

The Medicaid Work Requirements Contradict their stated purpose. 92% of Medicaid benficiaries are already working, caretaking, or enrolled in in school

Private insurers are efficient at two things,… making money off you for Wall Street investors and denying care
