Epidemic preparedness relies on more than clinical labs—it requires deep-rooted local trust and multi-sector mobilization, argues @Amprog’s Daniele Nyirandutiye for @SemaforAfrica: https://t.co/SjvKFwrCU1

[CAP Health @CAP_Health]

Health care costs are at a breaking point, and Americans deserve real, near-term solutions to this affordability crisis. CAP has a plan to help: https://t.co/sviBEUd1Pf

[American Progress @amprog]

Health care should be affordable, accessible, and work for the people—not just insurance companies or hospital systems. CAP's new proposal for a patients' bill of rights has solutions to immediately lower costs and strengthen patient protections.

[American Progress @amprog]

Rising health care costs are pushing Americans to a breaking point.

CAP's new proposal for a patients' bill of rights would provide immediate relief on premiums, deductibles, and insurance denials: https://t.co/YohiiRnjYP

[Topher Spiro @TopherSpiro]

It's time to end prior authorization by insurance company bureaucrats. To better manage care, we need:

* targeted, independent review by clinicians for the most costly services
* guided by evidence-based guidelines - not arbitrary
* strict 48-hour deadline
* exempt routine, emergency care

We've already spent over $25 billion on Trump's war in Iran. That money could have provided child care to 1.8 million children for a year.

[American Progress @amprog]

While the Trump administration has cut $1 trillion in taxes for the rich and has reportedly just requested an additional $200 billion for its immoral war in Iran, it continues to cut programs like Medicare that assist disabled people. https://t.co/fTG8soJXui

[American Progress @amprog]

Trump's war of choice in Iran will likely cost the American taxpayer over $25 BILLION by the end of this week, and the president is now reportedly requesting an additional $200 billion to continue funding the war—an unjustifiable request.

Trump's Big Beautiful Bill produced the largest cuts in SNAP history—leading to deadly consequences. https://t.co/1JuWGzQqvi

[American Progress @amprog]

The largest cuts to SNAP in history will likely lead to worse health outcomes for low-income families and preventable deaths across the country, and the law’s rushed implementation timeline will only worsen these effects. https://t.co/RbiqdhWWt8

BIG NEWS: Virginia is one signature away from becoming the 14th state (plus D.C.) to guarantee the right to paid family and medical leave. CAP senior fellow @Molly_MWW explains:

Communities of color are 3x more likely to live in nature-deprived areas than white communities—and it's not by accident.

As health care costs continue to rise, TrumpRx offers little relief. Of 54 drugs listed, only one features a new lower price. Americans need real reform and comprehensive solutions. https://t.co/BRQrpc3CzI

[Neda Ashtari @NedaAshtari]

I reviewed every drug on TrumpRx.

Out of 54 drugs, just one—a fertility drug, Cetrotide—is cheaper than preexisting options.

The rest look less like savings for patients and more like deals for pharmaceutical companies.
