Enhanced ACA subsidies are set to expire in late 2025.
Who would be most impacted by the expiration?

People living in Southern red states, where:
☑️ACA signups have grown the most since 2020
☑️ACA signups represent largest share of the population
☑️Premium payments would double

A cancer diagnosis is a pre-existing condition for life. Americans with pre-existing conditions used to not be able to get health insurance. The Affordable Care Act changed that. We can’t go back. #Project2025

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just delivered its decision in the case attacking mifepristone — and thankfully, mifepristone will be able to stay on the market without the bogus additional restrictions being pushed by anti-abortion groups.

[Families USA @FamiliesUSA]

Today, the Supreme Court was unanimous in making the right decision to secure access to #Mifepristone, a decision to protect the tens of millions of women who deserve the right to make decisions about their bodies.

No matter who you are or where you live, you should have access to essential health care, including abortion and contraception, without politically motivated and medically unnecessary hurdles.

I have made so, so many videos about the American healthcare system. South Park just humbled me.

[Laura Packard @lpackard]

HB 5395, the Healthcare Protection Act, just passed! Now it goes on to @GovPritzker for his signature. #HPANow

[Citizen Action IL @CitizenActionIL]

🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 Help ban STLD plans, also known as junk insurance, in Illinois! File a witness slip as a proponent of HB 2499: https://t.co/UCijGYN1r3

[Protect Our Care IL @ProtectILCare]

Short term limited duration -- AKA junk plans -- have no place in the Illinois health insurance market. It's time to ban them once and for all! #twill

[Families USA @FamiliesUSA]

👏 It is time to rein in the harmful anti-competitive behaviors of big health care corporations!

Two in three bankruptcies involve medical debt. That’s why we’ll be in Washington, D.C. next week, urging members of Congress to make healthcare costs more affordable—and to protect patients from medical debt.

Insurers shouldn't be allowed to stand between patients and the treatments their doctors prescribe. The Healthcare Protection Act would ban prior authorization for in-patient mental health treatments in Illinois.

Ask your State Senator for their support: https://t.co/zF8Du1U3nJ

NEWS: We're expanding access to health care for Dreamers by ensuring they will no longer be ineligible for coverage through the ACA Marketplaces or a Basic Health Program—allowing an estimated 100,000 previously uninsured DACA recipients to enroll. https://t.co/gZeA9H2WdE

Very rare that 2 behemoths @UHC & @Walmart fail at anything & here they failed at launching #MedicareAdvantage co-branded plans. The failure of Walmart clinics has perhaps many lessons, but this is an add’l blow to be sure. @UHC is the largest Advantage sponsor in the US, so yet another “torpedo” into the mothership. https://t.co/GxfcfBWxk9

Everyone: “whoa even @Walmart failed at healthcare…!”

Me: 🙄Maybe that’s because…
👏HEALTHCARE👏IS 👏NOT👏A👏COMMODITY👏

Doctors are not widgets.
Nurses are not widgets.
HCWs are not widgets.
Patients are not widgets.

The problem with these big box “healthcare” initiatives is they’re all about churning widgets.

And WE ARE NOT WIDGETS.

Mental health IS health, no exception or distinction. During Mental Health Awareness Month, make it a point to check in with your loved ones. We all must work to end the stigma around mental health and work toward a future where it’s treated the same as physical health. #MHAM2024

Step therapy require patients to fail on less effective treatments before accessing the one their doctors prescribe. Insurers shouldn't stand between patients and their doctors - Take action to pass the Healthcare Protection Act and ban step therapy in IL: https://t.co/fXl5NnbZpD
