.@realDonaldTrump, this is on you. YOU are sabotaging the #ACA. YOU are taking away #healthcare from American families. And WE won't forget it. #ProtectOurCare

Breaking News: The share of uninsured Americans increased in 2018 for the first time since Obamacare took full effect, despite a strong economy https://t.co/wzbbmxItSh

#DemDebate is reminder that the #ACA and preexisting condition protections are still under attack by @realDonaldTrump in court. He might be fine taking health insurance from millions of Americans, but I’m not. #ProtectOurCare #DemDebate2

[Dr. Tom Phelps @DrPhelpsTN]

By participating in this ridiculous #TexasvUS lawsuit to overturn the #ACA, we know @TNattygen Slatery is fine taking health insurance from millions of Tennesseans – I am not. #ProtectOurCare /end

[Dr. Tom Phelps @DrPhelpsTN]

I'm ringing the alarm. Today, we got closer to the possible repeal of the #ACA. After the 5th Circuit rules in #TXvUS, the future of ACA will be in the hands of the Supreme Court. It seems incomprehensible, especially knowing #WhatsAtStake /1

[Dr. Tom Phelps @DrPhelpsTN]

We could lose the entire #ACA and protections for millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions like asthma, heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, depression, MS, opioid use disorder, sleep apnea, ulcerative colitis, anxiety, epilepsy, rheumatoid arthritis, even acne /3

Trump on preexisting condition protections: words vs. actions
"Trump said his administration will 'always protect patients with preexisting conditions.' But the White House’s policy trajectory does exactly the opposite." @KaiserFamFound #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/rDPJ21m2Jq

[Dr. Tom Phelps @DrPhelpsTN]

On this 9th #ACAanniversary, there’s a lot of talk about so-called “pre-existing conditions.” Here’s a reminder of what that term means and why we need those #ACA protections.

[Dr. Tom Phelps @DrPhelpsTN]

Let me explain "pre-existing condition." It's not a medical term, it's an insurance term. It's a discriminatory term used to block patients from getting the care they need. We must stand up against attacks on protections for people with pre-existing conditions. #ProtectOurCare

[Dr. Tom Phelps @DrPhelpsTN]

Senator, this lawsuit must be stopped before it gets to the Supreme Court. Get out of the prediction business and get on the phone with @TNattygen Slatery. Demand that he withdraw our state from this dangerous lawsuit. Will you join me & stand up to stop this? @Tennessean @NC5

Vote today like your health care depends on it — because it does. #HealthCareVoter #GoVoteTN #VoteToday #MidtermElections2018 #ElectionDay2018

[Dr. Tom Phelps @DrPhelpsTN]

Indeed. @VoteMarsha is trying to lie her way out of her voting history. Im not buying it—neither should you. #HealthCareVoter #VoteTuesday

[ProtectMyCare @protectmycare]

Rep.@MarshaBlackburn, #WhenYouSay you support pre-existing condition protections, #ButYouVote to take them away, you jeopardize the health care of 2.7 million Tennesseans and their families. #TrumpChatt #TrumpRallyTN

[Dr. Tom Phelps @DrPhelpsTN]

This is me speaking up for my patients and fellow Americans on the @GOP attacks on health care.

This moment is too important to sit out. I’m asking you to stand with me and pledge to be a #HealthCareVoter. Let’s stop these partisan attacks and #ProtectOurCare. #TrumpRallyTN

[Dr. Tom Phelps @DrPhelpsTN]

.@realdonaldtrump, you aren’t protecting my patients with pre-existing conditions. You're doing the opposite. Your administration is arguing those very protections are “unconstitutional” in court. Stop lying to my patients. #TrumpRallyTN #TrumpChatt

[Dr. Tom Phelps @DrPhelpsTN]

There's a lot of talk about "pre-existing conditions" these days. Here I explain what that means.

We must hold elected officials like Rep. @MarshaBlackburn accountable for their votes to repeal these crucial protections. #ProtectOurCare #TrumpChatt

"Brian Kelsey wrote the law that blocked Medicaid expansion, leading to 11 closed hospitals across TN, lost jobs, & hundreds of thousands without healthcare. Let me be the last person to die in TN b/c of a lack of health care, vote for @gabbysalinas" -@KellyLGregory

[Dr. Tom Phelps @DrPhelpsTN]

Two more Tennessee hospitals will close by the end of the year. What more will it take for our elected officials to expand Medicaid and #ProtectOurCare? https://t.co/UB6LWmJzG2
