CAP finds that it would take 45 years to close the gender wage gap between men and women. That means some of your favorite celebrities, like Zendaya, would be in their 70s by the time U.S. women are paid the same as men.

Paid safe leave lets workers pursue safety in the face of violence without risking their job or their paycheck. States are stepping up to expand rights to this crucial protection. New from @molly_mww for @amprog https://t.co/5SVZnKmJo5

For many people, especially young women, Medicaid is the difference between accessing reliable, affordable reproductive health care or simply going without. #MedicaidMatters and we must defend this vital and life-saving program.

Women would be disproportionately harmed by cuts to Medicaid/CHIP and especially reproductive age women in some districts. Older adults, children, and non-elderly adults are also at risk given the House Republican budget resolution. Read more here - https://t.co/AAJhkLGe6p

A7. Medicaid helps women stay healthy, work, and take care of their families without worrying about expensive medical bills and outrageous out-of-pocket costs. Medicaid is directly connected to the health, wellbeing, and future of entire families. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

Q7: What are the economic benefits of Medicaid coverage for women and their families? #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

[CAPWomen @CAPWomen]

A5. Medicaid helps reduce health gaps by covering more than 13 million women of reproductive age (19-49). It pays for 41% of all births in the U.S. and covers a higher share of Black, Latina, and AANHPI women and children. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

Q5: What role does Medicaid play in reducing health disparities among women from different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds? #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

[Natalie Kean (she/her) @KeanNatalie]

A3: Women are more likely to be caregivers for older adults and may not have access to health insurance for themselves without Medicaid. The ACA opened the door to Medicaid for many women caregivers so they can get the care they need to stay healthy. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

[CAPWomen @CAPWomen]

A3. Any cuts to Medicaid could have devastating implications for women and their families. Women are more likely than men to be covered by Medicaid due to patterns of disability status as well as lower incomes b/c of the gender wage gap. #WellnessWed

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

Q3: What unique challenges can women face without receiving Medicaid, and how can these barriers be addressed? #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

[Families USA @FamiliesUSA]

A3: Uninsured women often have limited access to health care — including for important preventive services like mammograms — which can lead to poorer health outcomes. For low-income women or those working in caretaking jobs without access to employer-sponsored coverage, Medicaid is a coverage lifeline. #WellnessWed

[CAPWomen @CAPWomen]

A2. Medicaid plays a huge role in preventive health services for women. It gives women access to important check-ups, screenings, vaccinations, and birth control. This can help catch health problems early or prevent them before they start! #WellnessWed

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

Q2: How does Medicaid coverage specifically address women's preventive health needs? #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

[American Progress @amprog]

Who is covered by Medicaid and CHIP in your congressional district? How many women have Medicaid? How many children, older people, or working-age adults are on Medicaid?

@Sara_Estep_, Natasha Murphy, and @AndreaDucas dug into the data. Find out here: https://t.co/BCsTsr56cI

A1. Medicaid is important for women of all ages. It provides coverage for a range of essential health services like prenatal care and treatments for long-term health issues, supporting women’s health throughout their lives. #WellnessWed
