All they say is “give it time,” as if it’s totally chill to have no coverage. It’s not chill. It’s very scary.
Waiting for my newborn baby’s health insurance application to work its way through NJ Family Care is awful. There’s nothing anyone can do to speed it up, and it may take 45 days, or more, or less to go through. If they need more info they will mail me. Not email, mail. 🐌

The Newark Museum has a great exhibit by Bony Ramirez - last day to see it is tomorrow - so much food for thought throughout, from the exhibition design to individual pieces.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.
