We applaud @SenMarkey for shining a light on for-profit actors in health care in his Health Over Wealth Act. We call on all lawmakers to support this and additional legislation cutting greed out of healthcare.
Medicaid for children will save families an estimated $1,222 per year per child when states implement 12-month continuous Medicaid and CHIP eligibility. #MedicaidMatters
For each additional year of Medicaid eligibility as a child, adults by age 28 had higher earnings and made $533 additional cumulative tax payments due to their higher incomes. #MedicaidMatters

Did you know that April 21-27, 2024, is National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW)? Roughly 1 in 6 people are affected by infertility, and this statistic does not include LGBTQ+ couples and people choosing to parent without a partner.
A 2020 study found that children who received health insurance through Medicaid were less likely to die young, be employed in their adult life, and less likely to develop a disability as an adult. #MedicaidMatters
At Wednesday's abortion hearing, the Supreme Court's conservative justices seemed more concerned with hypothetical scenarios than with real women's lives, writes @lisamjarvistrib.al/nqRVhak
The very real scenarios ignored by some on #SCOTUS: "And, in Idaho, doctors fearful of prosecution are airlifting women to neighboring states...Some Idaho doctors are recommending that their pregnant patients buy insurance that covers emergency air transportation." @drsforamerica

Important coverage of the need for transparency at the FDA and the impact of use of surrogate endpoints (P.S. the Chair of our FDA Task Force is a co-author of the study mentioned!) @reshmagarendpts.com/researchers-se…
For @drsforamerica, other physician advocacy groups, and our very own brave storytellers like @eminagulbis, your story matters and is determining the future of abortion care in the U.S.

This is happening #SCOTUS TODAY.
This is NOT just about abortion care: this affects ANYONE who may need emergency care.
This affects ALL of us.
If you are a doc or med student, join @drsforamerica. Your voice is needed, more than ever.
There are estimated to be 15.5 million frontline health care workers — 77 percent of which are women — establishing Medicaid as a major job creator for women. #MedicaidMatters
EMTALA is the law that allows anyone to be seen in the emergency room without being turned away. This law is being discussed in connection to an Idaho law that infringes on this federal law. This is a big deal. #EMTALA#patientsoverpolitics#ReproductiveRights#reprojustice
Proud to be with our partners @powertodecide@nwlc and @prhdocs as we demand that the Supreme Court protect emergency abortion, which can be life-saving care. Pregnant people deserve to have access to the care they need, and the Court must do what's right!
