I’m sick of working to try to make ends meet. I’m a teacher with a state health plan. I can’t afford doctors visits for anyone except my kids. Medicaid should be EXPANDED, not cut. If politicians cared about their constituents, they would do for us as they do for the rich.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Greedy Christian Nationalist House Republicans are ecstatic, because they just passed their budget bill
$880 BILLION cut from Medicaid
$230 BILLION cuts to food assistance
72 million Americans rely on Medicaid which includes poor children, disabled, veterans and seniors. It’s cruelty by design 🤬

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.
She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.
This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

FELLOW WRITERS...How many times have you been in a workshop and witnessed writers speaking of a devastating personal experience only to be stopped by an instructor with the admonition, "Enough...this is literature, not therapy." I take a different approach. victoriacostelloauthor.com

President Zelenskyy is a class act.
Im in awe.
Zelensky was never going to back down to a thug like trump. He didn’t back down to Putin. trump isn’t so good at reading people, all he can do is try and stand over people like the bully he is and the bully his father taught him to be.

This is wildly infuriating.
There are scores of doctors, scientists and institutions solely focused on the safety, efficacy, and protocols of medications.
The suggestion that a man without degrees or experience in medicine, healthcare or science knows better than these specialists is MADNESS.
