Medicaid is more than a program—it’s a promise. A promise that health care shouldn’t depend on your income, zip code, or background. Let’s protect that promise: https://t.co/sERramGFBr 💙#ProtectMedicaid #DefendMedicaid
*everyone* will be stuck in crowded ERs! ...if they get there after waiting for a long time for an ambulance, which may also be fewer and farther between 😫 #KillTheBill #BigBeautifulBill #DefendMedicaid #NoMedicaidCuts
This will indeed be one of the consequences
ER crowding is usually due to the hospital being full
Hospitals get full because they can’t discharge patients to nursing homes and related facilities
If the new legislation leads to fewer nursing home beds
Everyone will be stuck in crowded ERs
Not great
For those keeping score, that's about the same as the roads plans floating around Lansing... #PeopleOverPavement #PeopleOverPotholes #NoMedicaidCuts #DefendMedicaid #RuralHospitals #Healthcare #MiLeg #Michigan
Federal Republican Medicaid cuts could deal Michigan with a $3.6 billion blow, threatening rural hospitals, health care jobs and the stability of entire communities. #HandsOffMedicaid https://t.co/9gZ8yGspDU
More than 1 in 4 nursing homes reporting closure if the #BigBeautifulBill becomes law 😱 and nearly 3 in 5 won't hire new staff...and these are places that are chronically understaffed already 😭 #NoMedicaidCuts #DefendMedicaid #Medicaid #NursingHomes #LongTermCare
NEW. 1 out of 4 nursing homes say they will have to "close their doors" if the GOP passes these Medicaid cuts.
...but do his Republican colleagues whose districts would lose major employers and healthcare access embrace those cuts? I know I'm NOT ok with these #MedicaidCuts and #HospitalClosures, and they're not even in my district! #DefendMedicaid #NoMedicaidCuts #RuralHospitals 2/2
🏥 Let's talk #RuralHospitals: a new study shows 3️⃣ rural hospitals in #Michigan are at risk of imminent closure should the #BigBeautifulBill become law. @detroitnews reports that Speaker Hall "embraces" the cuts that'll cause those closures... #DefendMedicaid #NoMedicaidCuts 1/2
Learn more about proposed federal #MedicaidCuts and their impact on #MaternalHealth, #InfantHealth, and healthcare access in #Michigan. My constituent, Dr. Lindsay Admon, was in #Lansing testifying as a maternal health expert today! #MiLeg #NoMedicaidCuts #DefendMedicaid
@RobSandIA It's disgusting. Making fun of a situation that will effect millions. But not you.
One person's politics should not dictate another person's lifespan. Ever.

The real reason we're having this #BillionaireBailoutBill shoved down our throats: so #Republican #Billionaire donors get massive tax cuts so they can keep donating to #Republicans 🤷🏻♀️ #BigBullshitBill #BigBeautifulBill #DeVos #StopTheBillionaireTakeover #Medicaid #DefendMedicaid
Medicaid plays a big role in women's health: 4 in 10 births are covered by Medicaid & millions of MI women rely on it. Yet Trump and Republicans are trying to gut the program. Truly honoring #NWHW means standing up for the women who need affordable care. #DefendMedicaid
This will cost us $177 million to set up in #Michigan alone. Not very efficient to spend millions on more bureaucracy

An under-appreciated aspect of a Medicaid work requirement is the enormous administrative expense involved in managing reporting by enrollees of their work hours or eligibility for an exemption.
New: Medicaid covers 47% of people with opioid use disorder and 64% of people receiving outpatient treatment for OUD.

Did you know #Michigan House Republicans cut 100% from Michigan's #Medicaid budget passed on March 6 (HB4161), outdoing the DC #HouseRepublicans and their proposed cuts. #NoMedicaidCuts #DefendMedicaid
Medicaid is a lifeline for millions, providing care to those who need it most. On this Medicaid Day of Action, Democrats remain committed to defending this lifeline while Republicans stay silent after voting to strip millions of their healthcare. #DefendMedicaid
@kylegriffin1 Exactly, and not one @SenSchumer @SenateDems needs to do anything, it’s their problem.
