Remember how those who cut Medicaid last year by $1 trillion said the “truly deserving” would not be harmed - even claimed that the Medicaid cuts would protect them…
Not true of course — unless now they’re going to tell us that pregnant women in rural areas aren’t deserving.
Hats off to #ThePitt for depicting an all too common reason why there are uninsured kids in the U.S.
Most uninsured kids are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP but they’ve lost coverage due to red tape barriers.
The nation’s progress on this very issue is now at risk.
2/ Even more, our most vulnerable children will be hurt the most, as the ability to serve kids in foster care or those families who receive WIC and SNAP would stop completely. Sending books to children is something we should all be…
The Kentucky Senate is taking aim at our kids by reducing the state match for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library from 50% to 33%. What this means is that over 83% of programs will immediately close, fewer children will receive books, and the program will phase out in a year (1/3)
As the cost of long-term care and child care continues to increase, many families are making ends meet through multigenerational living.

President Trump and Secretary Kennedy's decision to gut nursing home standards could cost thousands of lives.
Why did they do it?
Because industry executives gave millions to Trump's MAGA allies. They're selling out our most vulnerable to make a buck. https://t.co/Ss63uJrWz2
We talk about affordability then turn around and threaten a 78% premium hike for public workers.
If your budget solution is making teachers and state employees pay more for health care, you don’t have a revenue problem. You have a priority problem.
Just a reminder that Dolly Parton's Dollywood Parks & Resorts continues to pay all tuition costs, fees, and books for all part-time, full-time, and seasonal employees who pursue higher education.
Give Dolly ALL the statues.
There is no replacement for human connection. And it’s key to recovery. While there is value in taking medication to treat mental health conditions, medication can’t create connection or meaning. That only comes from being with other humans. We all need each other. We all need hope. #StopSuicide
Our Executive Director @AijenPoo spoke with USA Today about the caregiving crisis facing millions of families—and highlighted that the solutions are within reach. With the right commitment, we can strengthen our care infrastructure and meet this moment.
