Watching the ACA get passed in 2010 fueled my drive to work in a field to improve equitable access to healthcare. Little did I know, I would soon be diagnosed with MS and need $100K+ treatment annually. I owe so much personally and professionally to the #ACA #ThanksObama

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Excellent event on the Hill hearing from individuals and caregivers who would lose access to healthcare if Congress proceeds with its plan to gut Medicaid. Medicaid is a lifeline for older adults, people with disabilities, caregivers, and direct care workers. Tell Congress to protect Medicaid!

When older adults need ongoing help with daily living—such as eating, dressing, and bathing—it's Medicaid, not Medicare, that typically pays for that care.

Today is National #ProtectMedicaid Call-In Day. Join us in demanding that Congress vote NO on any Medicaid cuts: 866-426-2631.

Work requirements are red tape. Red tape = cuts.
Seniors will be harmed. Many older adults who aren't yet eligible for Medicare would be uninsured if not for #Medicaid. They have Medicaid because their employers don't offer health insurance, they have been laid off... (1/3)
Reports are emerging that Republican lawmakers continue to consider taking #Medicaid away from people who don’t meet unnecessary work requirements.

Work requirements gain favor with House Republicans
Speaker Mike Johnson called the safety-net strictures a “very popular measure.”
