NEW: The CDC shooting was much worse than initially reported. 181 rounds. 150 windows hit. Staff are furious at RFK Jr. and Trump becuz their long-running fears about anti-vax rhetoric turning deadly seem to be vindicated. ⁦@LaurenWeberHP⁩ + Me. washingtonpost.com/health/2025/08…

It haunts me to think that the world let this happen and the US not only stood by but provided arms and diplomatic support. So much loss of life and destruction. nytimes.com/2025/07/27/wor… via ⁦@nytimes⁩

CBO now says there will be 10m more uninsured from the “OBBB”. But the estimate of 4.2m uninsured from the enhanced ACA tax credits expiring at the end of the year stands. So we are looking at 14+ million more uninsured over 10 yrs unless that changes.

The $336 billion in savings and corresponding loss of healthcare access from Medicaid work requirements are illusory. The provisions are too difficult to implement with any integrity. The Senate should look at fraud and abuse in Medicare instead. "Work requirements" is a…

You cannot find a family in America that thinks they should be paying more for their health care, but instead of addressing affordability, Senate Republicans are increasing costs on working families to fund more tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.

This bill would needlessly harm so many families across our commonwealth. As a primary care clinician, I regularly see the negative impacts of patients going without coverage.

Taking into account ACA funding reductions, this bill would be the biggest rollback of federal support for health coverage ever … all taken from those with low incones

Many of the Medicaid proposals from House Republicans are technical and wonky, and will be difficult for the public to absorb. What won’t be difficult to absorb: CBO’s estimate that the changes will increase the number of people without health insurance by at least 8.6 million.

An estimated 1-in-3 people subject to work requirements would lose Medicaid coverage Yet there's no evidence that Medicaid work requirements increase employment. It mostly operates as a paperwork burden to reduce enrollment. That's a Medicaid cut, plain and simple.

When you think about the politics of Medicaid, it's important to know that over half of adults say they or a family member have been covered by the program.

Thank you @RepDonBeyer for your advocacy and hosting this roundtable. So many of our neighbors rely on Medicaid to access healthcare. Cuts to the program would severely undermine the safety net and the millions of patients that it serves.
