Lawmakers holding these hearings... “shows how much health care costs have risen on the political radar,” said Anthony Wright, the executive director of @FamiliesUSA, a Washington, D.C., consumer advocacy group.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 98.5%.

Will a Medicaid enrollee who suffers from seizures and addiction, and became homeless after losing his job, be able to navigate the process to prove he's too frail to work? That's the kind of question hanging over the implementation of a new Medicaid work requirement. @K_Hought

And so it begins. Pregnant woman disenrolled by mistake. Long waits to get through to the call center for help. No clarity on the rules.

Medicaid work reporting requirements don’t work. https://t.co/B7IMj5YHG2

Hard to even process -- a president selling market-moving information to banks and wealthy investors in advance of everyone else, and personally pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars from it. This alone is more worthy of impeachment than 100 Watergate cover-ups.

A Washington Post analysis earlier this month found the Reflecting Pool errors were likely due to contractor errors.

Turns out the Trump administration had documents that privately agreed, even as they publicly blamed vandals and touted arrests.

FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn

Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"

We joined hundreds of groups in submitting comments to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding CMS’s interim final rule on Medicaid work reporting requirements, warning of the impacts on Medicaid and the millions who rely on the program for coverage.

More uninsured patients are showing up at hospitals with enhanced ACA premium subsidies expired. That trend will likely accelerate in the years ahead as additional ACA and Medicaid cuts kick in.

[Larry Levitt @larry_levitt]

We don't have real-time data showing the number of people uninsured with enhanced ACA premium subsidies expiring, but these reports from hospitals of more patients unable to pay their bills is a pretty good indication of what's happening.

[David Roberts @drvolts]

This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*?

Last week, we brought partners, advocates and health policy experts together for the Health Care Affordability Week of Action to urge Congress to #LowerHealthCareCostsNow for millions of Americans.

[Larry Levitt @larry_levitt]

ACA enrollment has dropped in every state, except New Mexico. What's special about New Mexico? They are the only state to fully replace the extra federal premium subsidies that ended this year.

BREAKING NYT:

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states "based solely" on whether they backed Trump in the 2024 election.

[Larry Levitt @larry_levitt]

New: With enhanced ACA premium subsidies expired and Medicaid cuts phasing in, the Congressional Budget Office expects the share of the population uninsured to rise above 10% for the first time since the ACA was implemented.

[Anthony Wright @aewright]

@hannahcwiley Congrats and welcome to DC! Keep in touch and hope to work with you here!

POLICY WIN 🎉: Today, the Senate HELP Committee passed the Patients Deserve Price Tags Act — the strongest version of hospital price transparency legislation discussed in Congress this year — as well as other health affordability bills.

[Families USA @FamiliesUSA]

@GtownCHIR, in partnership with Families USA, convened advocates to talk through these changes and opportunities to protect and strengthen care for these patients. Hear from these partners and read the report here: https://t.co/6Is2zkplju
