Medicaid. Oregon now. North Carolina recently. Massachusetts and DC before. California native. Salad lover. Cheese fan (joke and food variety).
Happy Medicaid’s birthday!! (also Medicare) I’ve been thinking a lot about why I love Medicaid more than anything in the world and I’ve landed on hope. Medicaid in its essence was built on hope- a hope in a better health care system, a dream that people most in need deserve health.

Mankind-that word should have new meaning for all of us today. Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July & you will once again be fighting for our freedom… from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish w/out a fight.
Happy 4th, all! The annual White House picnic will also see President Trump sign the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" into law.
A bill that strips 17 million Americans off their healthcare and their SNAP benefits.

I’ve spent my entire life working to improve the lives of people who are living in poverty. The need continues to get greater every day. I hope you join me in this drive because days like today make me want to fight harder for our collective humanity. I 💙 you, Medicaid.

Today is the 112th birthday of America’s greatest bureaucrat, Wilbur Cohen- the founder of Medicaid.

RESULT 1: Work requirements --> coverage losses
When CT imposed WR, SNAP coverage fell 25% + Medicaid enrollment was flat.
Translation — People lost nutrition support, not because they earned more, but because of paperwork.
If they were earning more they would be losing Medicaid eligibility.
