I shared my health insurance story with @familiesusa.bsky.social -- and you can do the same. Elected officials need to understand what's at stake if they allow premiums to skyrocket: people's lives.

This is an incredible LIE being told by the guy that manages the agency that oversees the ACA. It's obscene how easily, how frequently and how dramatically these Trump folks lie to us.
