This week, Senate Dems will force a vote on our plan to avert massive increases to health care costs that will begin on January 1st.

This is the last chance for Republicans in Congress to help stop these devastating price hikes.

Will they stand with us? Or just keep calling affordability a β€œhoax”?

Californians count on @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov to represent us. We're asking you to reject Medicaid cuts for the cancer patients & countless others who rely on it for lifesaving health care. #ProtectMedicaid

Medicaid cuts put kids with cancer at risk. 1 in 3 children with cancer are covered by Medicaid. They need access to quality, affordable cancer care to survive. Any cuts to Medicaid could jeopardize their chances of survival. @repbradsherman.bsky.social, please #ProtectMedicaid.

Millions face losing health insurance under Republican proposal CBO documents reveal that if enacted, the proposed subsidy rollback would strip coverage from millions, particularly hitting low-income adults.

The proposed #Medicaid cuts would result in at least 8.6 million people losing health coverage.

That number could jump to 13.7 million by 2034 if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire at the end of this year, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.
