Trump orders homeless people he passed en route to golf course to leave Washington DC President demands unhoused residents leave US capital or face eviction and vowed to use officers to make arrests

Imagine investing half this energy on guaranteeing #HealthCareForAll instead of spending it all on golf and bullying homeless people...

Why Young Americans Dread Turning 26: Health Insurance Chaos Young adults without jobs that provide insurance find that their options are limited and expensive. The problem is about to get worse.

Age, race, class, gender shouldn't get in the way of you getting the care you need. We know we can win a health care system that works for allβ€”let's make it happen. #HealthCareForAll

Medicaid changes will hurt family caregivers, experts warn Medicaid cuts in Trump's tax package will harm family caregivers, experts say, reducing health care access and increasing caregiving responsibilities.

The only ones standing to savor the spoils of Medicaid's looting are Trump's greedy billionaire friends, raking in their tax cuts at the cost of our lives. #CancelTrumpsMedicaidCuts

Trump officials look to block abortion services at veterans affairs hospitals Rollback on Biden-era policy would prohibit abortions for veterans, even in cases of rape, incest or health threats

#Abortion is health care, period. This move would further wedge politics and government between veterans and their doctors, jeopardizing essential care.

LBJ wasn't perfect, but he recognized our future as a country depends on our health. His political will & fierce public activism made Medicaid/Medicare possible, and we'll defend them until we secure a single-payer system that guarantees quality, equitable health care for all.

Opinion | What Happens When Doctors Can’t Trust the Government? Federal public health institutions were revered by the medical community. That’s rapidly changing.

#MAHA is impossible with public health leaders that approach scientific evidence with disdain and prioritize their wealth over our health. We deserve reliable institutions that our physicians trust and are empowered by.

UnitedHealth Grew to Be a Leviathan. Then Came the Backlash. The conglomerate was viewed as one of the most successful companies in America, but patients are enraged and investors have lost faith in its business model.

Corporate behemoths like #UnitedHealth prey on the weaknesses of our broken health "care" system. That's their entire business model. It's past time we prioritize patients over profits and demand a comprehensive reformation of care in this country.

Unpacking the MAHA mirage: Trump guts healthcare while preaching wellness β€œThey’re moving us back almost into the Dark Ages.”

We're not fooled by this administration's #MAHA claims. The only thing that's gotten healthier under their watch is their pocketbooks.

The GOP’s Big Budget Bill Will Only Make the Healthcare Affordability Crisis Worse | Common Dreams Amid a healthcare affordability crisis, Congress and Trump just made the situation worse with budget cuts. Leaders must act for affordable healthcare.

"The lack of any clear agenda from lawmakers to tackle this [health care] crisis is not only a moral failure, but a political one."

Trump administration hands over Medicaid recipients' personal data, including addresses, to ICE U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials will gain access to personally identifiable information for all of the nation’s 79 million Medicaid enrollees.

Yet another blatant display of this morally hollow administration weaponizing health care against the most vulnerable.

Medical students could feel burn from Trump's new law The country is projected to face a shortage of 187,130 doctors by 2037.

Trump and his cronies are destroying our already insufficient health "care" system in every way imaginable, from gutting safety net programs to depriving underserved communities of hospitals and exacerbating an already stretched medical workforce.

Judge scraps Biden-era Medical debt credit reporting rule A federal judge in Texas reversed a Biden-era rule on Friday that permitted medical debt to be wiped from credit reports, according to court documents. U.S. District Judge Sean Jordan, a 2019 appointee of President Trump, said the rule by the previous administration exceeds the authority of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The CFPB,…

Our health "care" system is broken. Limiting financial opportunities for the working class because our political leaders can't muster the political and moral will to revolutionize health care is hugely disappointing. Health care for all, economic justice for all NOW.

The Sunlight Report on UnitedHealth Group The Sunlight Report on UnitedHealth Group is a first-of-its-kind look at the nearly 2,700 mergers, acquisitions and subsidiaries that make up UnitedHealth Group, the largest health care conglomerate in the world.

πŸ”₯ The Center for Health & Democracy (@cforhd) just released a MAJOR report looking at UnitedHealth’s nearly 2,700 subsidiaries. UHC is no longer just an insurance company β€” they're monopolizing the ENTIRE health care system.

Right, because the best way to ensure we're not "leaving our kids with these giant debts" so they can "afford health care and good food" is to [checks notes] slash billions of dollars from SNAP and health care programs πŸ‘

Agriculture secretary says there will be β€˜no amnesty’ for migrants, adults on Medicaid can replace them in workforce | CNN Politics Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said on Tuesday during a news conference that there will be β€œno amnesty” for migrants and mass deportations will continue to achieve a β€œ100% American workforce.” Rollins cited the number of adults in the Medicaid program, saying there are plenty of workers available in America.

Did Secretary Rollins even bother reading past that 34 million stat? πŸ€”

64% of adults on Medicaid are already working. 12% are caregivers. 7% are in school. We won't allow this administration to disguise their xenophobia with claims of "strengthening our workforce."

Measles Cases Surge To Highest Level Since The Disease Was Eliminated In U.S. At least 1,277 cases have been reported as of Monday, surpassing the previous record set in 2019, despite 2025 being only halfway over.

"There have been more measles cases reported...since the disease was declared eliminated in the country a quarter-century ago." Read that again.

When our government peddles vaccine misinformation backed by cheap pseudoscience, our communities face needless suffering and preventable disease.

UnitedHealth’s Campaign to Quiet Critics The company has invoked the murder of an executive last year to complain about coverage in news outlets, on streaming services and on social media.
