Today, Senate Republicans blocked a bill to extend #ACA premium tax credit enhancements and prevent millions of people from seeing their health care costs spike starting January 1. Read @ParrottCBPP’s full statement: cbpp.org/press/statements/co…

Pleased to join @SenWhitehouse tomorrow in a discussion about federal budget cuts and how #RI’s children may be impacted. We’ll talk SNAP, Medicaid, Data & Dollars. Join me. @RIKidsCount
Trump’s Big Ugly Bill cuts funding from programs like SNAP and the Children’s Health Insurance Program — hurting kids and families.
My next virtual assembly is on Tuesday, July 29th at 8PM. I'll be joined by PaigeParks of @RIKidsCount to discuss these cuts and more.

The Medicaid work requirement the House passed this morning is the strictest version of the policy that Congress has ever put forward.
Diving into the details with @sangerkatz:

TODAY: The Senate is debating the big, bad budget betrayal that will rip health care away from millions of Americans and drive up health care costs for all of us.

Sen. Tillis calling out his fellow Republicans:
"What do I tell 663,000 people in two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid because the funding is not there anymore?"

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen. washingtonpost.com/health/20…

Today the House passed a bill that drastically cuts #Medicaid and will lead to at least 8.6 million people losing health insurance. Health care costs will go up for many who remain insured.
But the fight isn't over yet. Urge your Senators to reject cuts: act.fightcancer.org/a/senato…

🔥 At 1:10 AM we are still on the frontlines fighting — because Medicaid isn’t just some line item, it’s a lifeline. #ProtectMedicaid

The House is expected to vote this week on a bill that would cut #Medicaid by $715 billion & kick 8.6 million people off their insurance.
Send a message to your Rep. & urge them to vote NO.

Addressed the stakes of cuts to Medicaid to fund billionaire tax giveaways with @NAMInRI and @FmlyValuesWork & @EconProgressRI last week.
Supporting Rhode Islanders’ mental health and family-friendly workplaces means investing in Medicaid, not reducing their life-changing impact.

Medicaid saves lives! Check out the video to hear from a cancer survivor who credits it for saving his life. And support the RI Cong. Delegation in its efforts to save Medicaid.
Big shoutouts @ProtectHealthRI, @RIPIN_RI, @SenJackReed, @SenWhitehouse!

Why do so many think taking #Medicaid away from people not meeting a work requirement is not a structural change?How much more structural can you get? It's a $301B cut over 7 years.People at risk by state and district show just how harmful it is: cbpp.org/research/health/har…

The House Energy & Commerce Committee’s bill would take health coverage away from millions of people. Still to come: the House Agriculture Committee’s bill, which is expected to take food assistance away from millions of people. Are you sensing a theme?
Medicaid cuts in the House E & C Cmte bill would take health coverage away from millions by slashing hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funds. Loss of coverage means diseases go untreated & families face exorbitant medical debt.🧵energycommerce.house.gov/pos…

Just remember, Dear Readers, that the bottom 20% of RI income earners pay more in state + local taxes as a percentage of their income than the top 1%. And that's just wrong!

Today at the #ProtectMedicaid rally, Gary Poe—Outreach Coordinator at St. John’s Community Health Clinic—spoke truth to power:
“Cutting Medicaid would devastate my patients, my son, and millions of people across California.”
We won’t stay silent. HANDS OFF MEDICAID. #CareCantWait
