14 years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law expanding access to healthcare for millions of Americans. Thanks to the ACA, Americans across WA and the nation have gained coverage, pre-existing conditions are protected, and preventative care is far more accessible!
Tobias Coughlin-Bogue explores the universal health care program recently endorsed by mayoral candidate Katie Wilson, and whether it's financially and politically possible in Washington State: https://t.co/XJclOm8pif
"As far as policy goes, you cannot come up with an idea that would have a more immediate and meaningful impact on the lives of working-class people in this state."
Everything Is Political … in South Seattle: Wilson Wants Universal Health Care in WA

Governor Newsom, Governor Kotek, and I launched a new West Coast Health Alliance today to ensure residents remain protected by science, not politics.
The Trump Administration has undermined the independence of the CDC and dismantled its vaccine panel. We're beginning the process to provide evidence-based recommendations regarding who should receive immunizations and to help ensure the public has credible information.
Science drives our public health policy in Washington.
@1DimeOfficial@jacobin Brand New Congress was supposed to be - a post-partisan organization that fielded candidates based on platform rather than political party.
Unfortunately it went the way of a lot of political orgs and was more or less folded into the Democratic Party before being disbanded.
Washington is among the states hit hardest by cuts from President Trump and the MAGA Congress.
The most vulnerable will lose their coverage or even lose services at their closest hospital.
These cuts will be felt by all Washingtonians.
Everyone deserves affordable health care. Washington will stand with our partners across the country against the Trump administration’s efforts to strip away people’s health care.
Reversing this unlawful rule will help thousands of Washingtonians hold on to their health coverage.
We await your response to these cuts Governor. Will #Washington cover the gap and ensure #NoMedicaidCuts or will we see a huge spike in uninsurance and preventable deaths in our state?
Governor, we need to hear your plan for what we will do if these cuts happen. Will Apple Health be cut? Will we raise the revenue necessary at state level to maintain the same coverage? Will we allow these children to be uncovered?
We need strong leadership to get through this.
Medicaid touches health care in every stage of life, for Washingtonians in every corner of our state.
Federal cuts to Medicaid would be felt by all Washingtonians, regardless of ZIP code or party affiliation.

(1/9) It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that the Arizona Green Party State Committee shares the devastating news of the passing of our beloved comrade, Cody Hannah. Cody was not just a leader but a beacon of hope, dedication, and unwavering commitment to justice. He
I never met Cody directly - we only observed each other as candidates running at the same time within the same party on very similar values.
I was inspired to see someone so young so active in his community.
Farewell Cody.
@WintersPolitics You know there is a left party with chapters in nearly every state which is elected to office in over 20 states and has been consistently organizing for over two decades now right?
