This is the Republican health care agenda: indifference to the lives of working families.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

Trump is completely ignoring the Medicaid cuts that need to happen to pay for his tax credits for billionaires. Sensing he knows how unpopular they are so he would rather sweep them under the rug

Democrats are quickly moving to shield Medicaid — touting its benefits and vowing to fight big changes to it.
They’re drawing on lessons from the first Trump administration, when Medicaid became a target.
GOP leaders are eying Medicaid for trillions of dollars in cuts.

🔥NEVER FORGET: RFK Jr is a danger to even the healthiest Americans. Anyone who denies the efficacy of vaccines that have eradicated illness from our society, should not be trusted to head a government agency. Anyone who votes for him in Congress is a disgrace and wishes harm on the American people.🔥

No. RFK Jr has dedicated the past two decades of his life to making it more likely that children will die of preventable illnesses.
The only "good stuff" he believes is that Americans should eat better and exercise more, something every institution of public health already promotes constantly.

Harris had an opportunity to appeal to the RFK voters who just want healthy food and she blew it.
By blowing RFK off entirely, it invited people to assume that Harris opposed RFK's entire agenda, even the good stuff.
