The first rule for doctors is to do no harm. But the Title X gag rule will do harm. Here's what we had to say: https://xitter.cf/t.co/BrP4C9EinM #ProtectX

"I’m sure [Pharma] hate[s] it, But look, they're not good actors. I mean, Big Pharma has gotten a sweetheart deal, they’ve gotten huge, they’ve gotten powerful, they’ve gotten rich, and I’m not terribly sympathetic to their position on this." Sen Josh Hawley (R-MO)

Other wealthy nations provide universal health coverage — see how eight countries differ in what public financing covers, how costs are contained, and how much people in those countries pay out of pocket for care buff.ly/2u37Xdm

Any history of this important movement would not be complete without specific mention of the group that sparked it. TY @NPAlive & @BrownMedicine’s Stephen R Smith. npalliance.org/promoting-goo… cc: @ABIMFoundation
What started as a U.S. campaign to end the overuse of medical care has turned into an international movement, spreading to over 20 countries in just seven years. buff.ly/2uyFwUC

Trump’s health plan is in his budget. It ends Medicaid expansion and pre-ex protections, raises drug costs on 12 million seniors, cuts coverage from 20 million Americans.
That is manifold, Kellyanne.

BREAKING: Excellent news. A Federal judge just struck down work requirements to qualify for Medicaid.

I want to be very clear about what #HB481 does: it bans safe, legal abortion.
Patients must be empowered to make their own healthcare decisions, and doctors must be able to provide healthcare to our patients — without the threat of prison time. #StopTheBans

This is deeply distressing for patients. Call @GovMLG today and ask her to sign HB 436 to protect people with pre-existing conditions. #nmleg #nmpol

NEW: The Trump administration is now calling for the entire Affordable Care Act to be thrown out. politico.com/story/2019/03/2… Big shift in legal position from last year — with millions of lives in balance.

Trump’s stated health policies that depend on things in Obamacare
1) Ending the HIV epidemic. The ACA’s Medicaid expansion is a major source of coverage for HIV patients. The ACA also created new protections for patients with HIV/AIDS. nyti.ms/2UX0mIO?smid=nytcore…

BREAKING: Big news tomorrow is Democrats will roll out the most sweeping health care bill to reduce the cost of health care for millions & increase coverage for additional millions.

The Trump administration is now arguing in court that the whole ACA should be thrown out, including pre-existing condition protections. The president’s budget also proposes repeal and replace of the ACA. This sets up a clear contrast for the 2020 general election on health care.

Today is the 9th anniversary of the passage of the #ACA.
Every day from the day I showed up in the Obama Administration I would read people’s emails and letters about how their lives had changed. 1/

I’ll say it again: For all of its successes and failures, the ACA’s single greatest accomplishment was to change the general mindset about healthcare in the U.S.

It is ludicrous that nearly a 1/3 of Americans taking Rx drugs are forced to put themselves at risk by skipping meds because of soaring #RxPrices. The new Coalition for Fair Drug Prices with @FamiliesUSA will fight this injustice and demand #change bit.ly/2uhFLmS
