The budget bill under consideration in the U.S. Senate would kick nearly 11 million people off their health insurance and raise health care costs for all of us. Senator Adam Schiff, vote NO to #ProtectMedicaid and #ProtectAffordableCare!

[National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) @RareDiseases]

📢 80 million Americans count on #Medicaid for life-saving care, including #Cancer patients and the #RareDisease community.

Cuts would have devastating consequences. #ProtectMedicaid

Thanks to @ACSCAN for this message.

“To be clear, this legislation still allows the Farm Bureau to sell unregulated products that won’t have to comply with many of the other provisions we fought for over the years,” Kalmer said, including protections for preexisting conditions.

🚨Our nation’s health secretary doesn’t know that the #1 cause of preventable death in this country is tobacco use.

Meanwhile, the Trump Admin has dismantled every tool we have to stop Big Tobacco from addicting our kids.
