GOP-sponsored Medicaid work requirements will cut more than $325 billion β€” doing nothing to serve working people and everything for greedy billionaires eagerly waiting for their next tax break.

D-...did he just compare health insurance to shampoo...?

"Giving the patient the power" means universal health care, empowering patients to get the care they need without having to penny pinch. Sending a check won't make a dent in mounding medical bills. #MedicareforAll. We can afford it.

A credit report with medical debt is a life sentence nobody chooses. Shame on the Trump administration for exposing our most vulnerable to even more exploitation.

A record number of Americans are anxious about health care costs going into next year Americans are going into 2026 more anxious about health care costs than at any other point in recent years, a new West Health-Gallup survey finds.

Health care affordability isn't a debate, it's a lifeline.

We demand a country that doesn't leave us choosing between health care and groceries or rent. We demand dignity and #healthcareforall!

Could the Destruction of the ACA Force Democrats to Champion Medicare for All? After caving on the shutdown and letting the GOP gut the Affordable Care Act, Democrats must chart a new health policy.

"If millions lose health care coverage heading into the 2026 midterms, Democrats may rediscover the appeal of a bold, populist policy guaranteeing universal coverage." #MedicareForAll #M4A #HealthCareForAll

Ticked Off Over Preauthorization: Walk-In Patient Avoided Lyme Disease but Not a Surprise Bill - KFF Health News A Maine woman sought care at a clinic for a tick bite, then paid full price after her insurer denied coverage. Its reason? She didn't have preapproval for the walk-in visit, even though testing later detected the pathogen that causes Lyme disease.

Health Insurance Corporations: "Prior authorization reduces waste and fraud!"

Meanwhile, they're using prior authorization to defraud their patients and waste their precious time and energy.

"Trump’s most significant legislative achievement this year delivered historic cuts to health programs (like Medicaid and CHIP) that are estimated to strip 10 million people of their health insurance coverage by 2034. More than 1 million AIAN individuals rely on Medicaid and CHIP."

Senior citizens will pay a lot more for Medicare in 2026 | CNN Politics Senior citizens are the latest group of Americans to face steep increases in their health insurance premiums for 2026.

No one is spared from rising health care costs this coming year.

Enough is enough, it's time to strengthen and expand Medicare. We demand a single-payer system that recognizes health care as a human right. #M4A #MedicareForAll #SinglePayer #HealthCareForAll

C.D.C. Changes Website to Reflect Kennedy’s Vaccine Skepticism A previous version denied a link between vaccines and autism. It now echoes the doubts about that conclusion voiced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

RFK Jr. is using the CDC site as his personal blog, dangerously skewing science and public health decisions with his own agenda and views. Alarming, but sadly unsurprising. #CDC #Vaccine

Revive the Call for Medicare for All - Truthdig The GOP critique of the ACA gives Democrats an opening to push for taking β€œfat cat insurance companies” out of the equation for good.

SEN BERNIE SANDERS: Congress just made our healthcare system worse β€” Here’s the fix Senator Bernie Sanders warns that healthcare premiums will quadruple for many Americans after the government shutdown ends, affecting millions of people.

Bernie's right: We need universal health care.

What we don't need? One-time checks and a $1 trillion tax break for the likes of Elon Musk.

When the G.O.P. Medicaid Cuts Arrive, These Hospitals Will Be Hit Hardest Republicans created a special $50 billion fund to help rural hospitals stay afloat, but the biggest impacts may be in cities.

When our government hands out tax breaks to the rich, millions of working people fall through the cracks. The money has to come from somewhere.

IN THE NEWS: Who Are the Millions of Americans Caught in the GOP Health Care Crisis? β€” Protect Our Care Because Donald Trump and Republicans ripped away health care tax credits from over 24 million Americans, hard-working people are now logging onto the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace for open...

The repercussions of enriching billionaires and their corporations at the expense of patients are very real and deeply human. We are all patients - tomorrow if not today. We cannot, will not sit back and watch this #healthcareheist continue.

There's a reason why the ACA is so popular...
βœ… Historically low uninsured rates
βœ… Improved health outcomes
βœ… Reduced health inequities
βœ… Reduced medical debt

Trump Healthcare Payment Proposal Sparks Fresh Medicare for All Demands to Fix β€˜Broken’ Healthcare System | Common Dreams As Trump renews a long-standing GOP proposal to replace health insurance subsidies with direct payments, progressives are using the opportunity to reignite the push for Medicare for All to drive down costs. "I agree with him that the system is broken," said Rep. Ro Khanna.

The debate over #ACATaxCredits has only highlighted just how fractured our health care system is, leaving so many of us vulnerable at the whim of out-of-touch politicians. Change is overdue! We need a single-payer system that takes care of ALL of us, no ifs, ands, or buts. #HealthcareForAll

Democrats Concede Shutdown Fight Without Health Care Win in Hand Democrats entered the shutdown seeking to renew tax credits to stave off insurance premium price hikes and to show voters they have the stomach for hardball negotiations in President Donald Trump’s Washington.

Shame on all Republicans who led the charge to jeopardize the healthcare of 22 million Americans, and shame on every Democrat who caved. #HealthcareHeist

Their daughter needed reconstructive surgery. They got an insurance fight. Minutes before a 10-hour surgical procedure, 8-year-old Olivia Olson sat on a hospital bed grinning.

"Anthem gave [the family] a list of six in-network doctors... NBC News reached out to all six. Not a single one said they performed the surgery." πŸ™ƒ

YOUR healthcare should be on YOUR terms. Let's make it happen.

"We can transform despair into hope, & put hope into action" -Ady

2026 ACA open enrollment coincided with the 2nd anniversary of his passing. Millions' insurance costs doubled. Never has action been more necessary.

Call Congress: Extend the tax credits that make health care possible for millions.
