Remember when you met with us- @littlelobbyists.com ? I sat next to you as you spoke with a table filled with our children as you promised us that you were behind us every step of the way

Voting with them is a clear vote against the very children you promised to their faces you would protect.

@elenahung.bsky.social: And one of the first things I would change is our investment in our public health.

Protecting the public health is not optional; it is essential.
Protecting the public health is not a privilege, it is a right.

@elenahung.bsky.social: I have often said: there’s not a single thing I would change about my daughter, but there are a million things I would change about this world so that it would be worthy of her.

@elenahung.bsky.social:
My daughter was born with a number of serious medical conditions [...] She uses a tracheostomy to breathe, a ventilator for additional respiratory support, a feeding tube for all of her nutrition, and a wheelchair to explore the world around her.

@elenahung.bsky.social: These are two milestones that were never ever promised to a medically complex disabled child like her.

I am thrilled to share that thanks in great part to Medicaid, my baby has been able to survive and thrive.

@elenahung.bsky.social: Like many Little Lobbyists children, my daughter Xiomara relies on Medicaid.

Xiomara is the joy of my life. She recently celebrated her 11th birthday this summer and is now in the 5th grade!

@elenahung.bsky.social: This issue is personal to me. I want to tell you about my daughter Xiomara. And I want to talk about Medicaid; Medicaid accounts for one fifth of all health care spending in this country, and it accounts for over half of spending on long-term care

#APHA2025 #SpeakForHealth

@elenahung.bsky.social: I am here on behalf of Little Lobbyists families like mine from across the country who rely on public health efforts and investments.
