Protect Our Care North Carolina

North Carolina chapter of @protectourcare. Fighting to protect health care for millions of North Carolinians. #ACA

[Laura Packard @lpackard]

I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor, and the Affordable Care Act saved my life nine years ago. The ACA and I are both still here.

Why are we funding more wars overseas while taking away health care from millions of Americans like you and me?

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more.

But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Urgent update.

Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.

Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

880,000 North Carolinians are going to see their health care premiums skyrocket because Congress is leaving for the holidays without taking action.

North Carolinians deserve better from Washington.

[Congresswoman Deborah Ross @RepDeborahRoss]

A few Republicans have joined with all House Democrats and listened to the voices of millions of Americans.

A majority of the House now wants to vote to prevent a rise in health care costs. It’s time for Mike Johnson to bring this bill to a vote immediately.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Senate Republicans just voted AGAINST extending ACA tax credits.

It’s estimated that premiums will rise by an average of 114% for the 20 million Americans who rely on the ACA market.

4 MILLION Americans could lose their health care all together.

This is a national tragedy.

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

Today, the Republican leadership in the legislature failed the people of North Carolina.

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

Health care costs are too high. We must do whatever we can to make it easier for people to pay their bills and live healthy lives.

[Protect Our Care North Carolina @ProtectNCCare]

Families like Shannon's need Medicaid access!

[Congresswoman Deborah Ross @RepDeborahRoss]

"Having Medicaid access is life or death."

Hear from a local mother who relies on Medicaid to access healthcare for her daughter - the same Medicaid that Republicans eviscerated in the Big Ugly Law.

I won't stand by as they attack healthcare funding people rely on.

Governor Stein Calls on the General Assembly to Fully Fund North Carolina Medicaid. https://t.co/9anTq0fNXp

[Deborah Ross @DeborahRossNC]

Republicans control the White House and Congress.

They'd rather shut down the government than extend tax credits people need to afford insurance.

Now, Trump is threatening to fire federal staff over the shutdown he's causing. Trump is not working to help Americans.

https://t.co/u4BjF969CM We call on Senator Tillis to think of communities in our state that can't afford Medicaid cuts. #ProtectOurCare #HandsOffMedicaid #SenatorTillis

[Union of Southern Service Workers @RaiseUptheSouth]

Healthcare is a human right. We need to protect and expand Medicaid. We need to tax billionaires, not push the cost of healthcare onto working families.

[Nicole Quick @QuickforNC]

Cuts to Medicaid will hurt NC’s rural counties the most, particularly children and the elderly.

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

Medicaid provides lifesaving health care to more than 3 million North Carolinians - including more than 630,000 new enrollees thanks to Medicaid expansion.

Federal government cuts would have real human cost here at home. We must protect Medicaid and our people’s health.
