ON THE PODCAST: REP GOES MIA
In 2023, Florida Democrat @RepCassel joined me and host @GlennaWPLG on TV, flying the flag for Medicaid expansion.
Since identifying as a Republican, she has gone MIA on the topic.

@MamasConPoder R9: ¡Alcen la voz por Medicaid y CHIP! Llamen a sus representantes y senadores. Compartan sus historias. Cada una de sus voces cuenta. La salud de nuestros niños no es negociable. #WellnessWed
Medicaid es la red de seguridad de salud más importante. Nos protegerá si lo protegemos. Por eso debemos decirles a nuestros representantes electos que se opongan a legislaciones que aumenten los costos, los límites o la burocracia de Medicaid. #WellnessWed#MedicaidMatters

Medicaid is our most important healthcare safety net. It will be there to protect us so long as we're there to protect it. That means telling your elected officials to oppose any legislation that adds cuts, caps, or other red tape to Medicaid. #WellnessWed#MedicaidMatters

Medicaid is often a primary source of coverage for mental health services and substance use treatment options. Higher costs and fewer options mean worse outcomes. This creates a higher burden on healthcare systems, justice systems, and the public. #WellnessWed#MedicaidMatters
A8: Medicaid cuts threaten kids' mental health and substance use services, resulting in reduced access to therapy and longer wait times. Millions of youth risk untreated mental health and addiction issues. #WellnessWed#MedicaidMatters
R8b: Medicaid es esencial para que muchas personas tengan acceso a servicios de salud que no podrían pagar de otra forma y es indispensable para la respuesta de la nación a la crisis de salud mental. Cualquier recorte amenaza con eliminar estos vitales servicios. #WellnessWed
A8: Medicaid is the largest payer of behavioral health services, including mental health and substance use. Medicaid plays a pivotal role in the response to the mental health crisis by providing access to care for many who would otherwise not be able to afford it. #WellnessWed
