$880B in Medicaid cuts = 150,000 South Dakotans at risk of losing coverage. That’s more than 1 in 6 residents. This isn’t belt-tightening. It’s life-threatening. @ProtectOurCare @GPTCA2 @afl_sd @HCAN #HandOFFMedicaid kotatv.com/2025/05/13/pro…
Medicaid covers nursing homes, home care, and elder support. Cutting it means cutting our parents’ and grandparents’ lifeline. 150,000 South Dakotans rely on this care. @ProtectOurCare @ForDakotans #HandOFFMedicaid #ElderCare #SouthDakota

Last month we submitted an amendment to the SD constitution to codify #RoeVWade via the citizen initiative. You can sign up to circulate/volunteer to put a woman's right to choose on the ball via the link below: dakotans4health.com/codify-roe-v-w…
Don't forget to VOTE NO on Amendment C! Polls are open 7am-7pm! W/ @OonVote @GPTCA2 @RickKnobe @RickWeilandTIB
People are more inclined to vote for an initiated law than a constitutional amendment. We just gave voters that choice. #MedicaidExpansion
Thread: Our one party-controlled legislature is doing everything it can to stop #MedicaidExpansion in South Dakota, continuing an all out assault on our democracy. 1/10 w/@RemiBald @RickWeilandTIB @Brendan_SD @lukemayville @SDDecides 🔇
