2/“It’s awful because the whole goal is to keep him at home,” Sales said of her son. “I feel like they're always picking on the medically fragile kids. They need to rethink this proposal.” @TexasTribune #fixthismess #MisManagedCare #protectTXfragilekids #txlege

📷NEW FROM @TexasTribune:
1/ Children who receive private duty nursing, a more continuous type of medical care in the home, could lose their ability to live at home if a @TexasHHSC rule change goes into effect. https://t.co/KKPToMd2K1

@BillyFootwear My daughter’s shoe broke after only 3 weeks, and customer service hasn’t replied to my multiple messages. How do I take advantage of your 90-day product warranty? Please help! Due to her AFOs and SMOs, we rely on Billy shoes!

BREAKING: Annual report on health care costs is out. Highest employer cost growth since the Bush years and 1 million more uninsured.

All while life expectancy outcomes are declining.

In the Trump years we are spending more for fewer and getting less.

@RESkinderdragon @rockenbaughES So proud of you, Juju!

This is shameful #txlege. Tx’s most vulnerable constituents need you to do the right thing. Failure will cause more delays, denials, loss of services, providers. It’s truly life or death. #ProtectTXFragileKids

It’s David v Goliath. #txlege will you side with special needs constituents or insurance companies? Friends, please help #ProtectTXFragileKids and #FixThisMess

[Protect TX Fragile Kids @fragilechildTX]

Hey @txhealthplans @txmedicaidworks @TexasHHSC @txlege explain how denying medically necessary equipment that helps to keep fragile kids OUT of the hospital= managed care "working" for medically fragile little Texans?? 🤔

Hey @86thLegislature 👇 past time to #fixthismess and #protectTXfragilekids. #MISmanagedcare #MCOsProfitKidsLose #txlege

[Protect TX Fragile Kids @fragilechildTX]

Testimony to @TexasHouse HS Cmte: “In closing, I would remind you that TAHP & MCO reps are paid to be here to protect their multi-million💰contracts, while we are here to fight for our children’s lives.” Who will #txlege listen to? #MISmanagedcare #MCOsProfitKidsLose #fixthismess

[Protect TX Fragile Kids @fragilechildTX]

We’re all for cutting red tape. It’s super important for our kids & their medical teams, and is one of our top priorities this session. But codifying the MCOs’ authority to have differing req across 20 different MCOs will not help to cut red tape for anyone. #HB4178 #txlege

[Alison Hamilton @AHHamilton]

@SenBobCasey thanks for doing what #txlege either couldn’t or wouldn’t. Please #fixthismess. #TXCANDOBETTER

[Jamie Hancock @jamiedhancock]

Invoking ‘Pain & Profit’, @SenBobCasey wants an investigation into 'dangerous' denials by Medicaid companies.

🆘️URGENT! CALL TO ACTION!🆘️
#TXlege Senate will vote on #SB1 soon which includes #Rider18. PTFK is AGAINST R18 w/ its cap on MDCP slots at 5,400. The waiting list is larger than that! Help us call all senators below today to oppose R18! #protectTXfragilekids #PainAndProfit

[Protect TX Fragile Kids @fragilechildTX]

Thank you, @electcharles for being a champion for our children and taking action to #fixthismess and #protectTXfragilekids by sponsoring #SB1093 #SB1094, #SB1095, #SB1207 & #SB1825. Now let's move them to the floor for a vote! #txlege

This week, two #txlege committees considered more than a dozen bills to fix problems in the #Texas #Medicaid program, including denials of lifesaving medical services for children w/severe disabilities: https://t.co/p8ZPY8d966 #MISmanagedcare #MCOsProfitKidsLose #PainandProfit

[Alison Hamilton @AHHamilton]

Not all of us with medically fragile kids could be there today, but you can bet we’re watching and hoping @txlege does right by our children. @fragilechildTX #FixThisMess

[Rep. John Bucy III @BucyForTexas]

I want to thank my colleagues who have signed on to show their support! It’s time for #Texas to join 36 other states in expanding Medicaid. This would help millions get needed care, have a substantial economic impact, and save thousands of lives. #txlege #ExpandMedicaid

[Rebecca Galinsky @RebeccaGal5]

@davidmcswane interviewed us in Jan '17 as @fragilechildTX was sounding the alarm & trying to get those in power to see the problems.We're grateful he took time, got to know the issues & launched this investigative series. #Painandprofit #ProtectTXfragilekids #MISmanagedcare
