In the states which HAVEN'T expanded Medicaid, you're eligible for APTC & CSR help from 100 - 250% FPL and APTC only from 250 - 400% FPL...but if you earn LESS than 100% FPL you're screwed, because you aren't eligible for either Medicaid *or* ACA subsidies.

This is called the "Medicaid Gap."

I can't control the outside world. I can barely even influence it.

But I can make my company a place I would have wanted to work at as an employee and a product I would have happily used as a customer.

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: eggs and waffles, big cup of Folgers, then open the old text message app to read about the administration's secret plans to bomb Yemen. But now the woke mob wants to take all of that away.

The CFPB has taken major steps to help people with medical debt in its nearly 14-year history. It issued rules barring medical debt from Americans’ credit reports. But in early February, the Trump administration moved to effectively shutter the agency. kffhealthnews.org/news/podcast...

Lots of top reporters are mixing up the words "eliminate" and "eradicate."
We have not eradicated measles. In all of history, we have only eradicated one human disease -- smallpox.
The U.S. eliminated measles in 2000. Measles was eliminated in the Americas in 2016.

"We're on the verge of potentially another pandemic and we're firing the people who have probably more expertise than anyone else in the country collectively.”

Community health centers are now starting to shut down across the country because of Trump’s executive orders.

These centers serve 1-in-5 rural patients in America.

I feel like a journalist should probably cover the fact they're taking down the "Japanese internment was bad" websites, but I'm not really sure who to tag, so idk, link people in my replies if you do.

Don’t let the lower percentages of Medicaid & CHIP in Red states fool you, millions have no coverage at all bc their state refused fed $$ for Medicaid expansion

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.
