It’s so dishonest and reckless to reduce childhood vaccines because of Denmark.

The US has a similar schedule to Canada, Britain, Australia and Germany.

Denmark, a small country with strong universal healthcare, is the outlier.

And even Denmark themselves thinks that this is a bad idea.

Health insurance was poised to rise at fastest pace in 15 years prior to the end of the ACA Covid-era subsidies. Many consumers got their first glance at those increases via their health plans enrollments for the year ahead, which is done in November.

The technical term is heart breaking. 💔

U Michigan was worst measure on recon in part due to change in methodology, but still bad. The Conference Board survey was worst since April!

Plans on big ticket spending & vacation down, while worries about health care costs soaring.

Gut-wrenching drop in both the U Michigan and Conference Board surveys in November.

Mentions of tariff and trade still high, while assessment of labor market deteriorating further. Worries about recession rose.

This is for a "clean" 3-year extension, I believe.
The most obvious House GOP members to push for:

GA-14 MTG, of all people
NE-02 Don Bacon
CO-03 Jeff Hurd
...or any of the other 13 GOP Reps who've already cosponsored a clean 1-year extension.
BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits.

That makes 214.

We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

Proposals from Senators Scott and Cassidy to convert ACA premium tax credits into health accounts present trade-offs that benefit healthy people at the expense of sick people. Senator Scott's proposal, in particular, would destabilize the insurance market in some states.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Farming is a tough job, and Trump isn’t making it any easier by cutting off opportunity for the folks who feed, fuel, and clothe our world.

Just listen to these family farmers:

The concept of a plan was no plan at all. He never had a plan.
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

👏 Congrats to Ghana, Kenya & Tanzania! Their progress shows what’s possible when communities trust public health.

Meanwhile, the U.S. risks losing its measles elimination status as anti-science misinformation erodes trust. We should learn from these successes: evidence works when trust is strong.
