Despite overwhelming public outcry, Congress just pushed through the most unpopular legislation since the 1990s. Come November, we'll remember. #CutMedicaidLoseYourJob

#Abortion is health care, period. This move would further wedge politics and government between veterans and their doctors, jeopardizing essential care.

Rollback on Biden-era policy would prohibit abortions for veterans, even in cases of rape, incest or health threats

LBJ wasn't perfect, but he recognized our future as a country depends on our health. His political will & fierce public activism made Medicaid/Medicare possible, and we'll defend them until we secure a single-payer system that guarantees quality, equitable health care for all.

#MAHA is impossible with public health leaders that approach scientific evidence with disdain and prioritize their wealth over our health. We deserve reliable institutions that our physicians trust and are empowered by.

Federal public health institutions were revered by the medical community. That’s rapidly changing.

Corporate behemoths like #UnitedHealth prey on the weaknesses of our broken health "care" system. That's their entire business model. It's past time we prioritize patients over profits and demand a comprehensive reformation of care in this country.

The conglomerate was viewed as one of the most successful companies in America, but patients are enraged and investors have lost faith in its business model.

We're not fooled by this administration's #MAHA claims. The only thing that's gotten healthier under their watch is their pocketbooks.

"The lack of any clear agenda from lawmakers to tackle this [health care] crisis is not only a moral failure, but a political one."

Most Americans believe the government has a responsibility to provide healthcare and lower its cost. President Trump and Congress have just done the opposite.

Yet another blatant display of this morally hollow administration weaponizing health care against the most vulnerable.

Trump and his cronies are destroying our already insufficient health "care" system in every way imaginable, from gutting safety net programs to depriving underserved communities of hospitals and exacerbating an already stretched medical workforce.

The country is projected to face a shortage of 187,130 doctors by 2037.

Our health "care" system is broken. Limiting financial opportunities for the working class because our political leaders can't muster the political and moral will to revolutionize health care is hugely disappointing. Health care for all, economic justice for all NOW.

🔥 The Center for Health & Democracy (@cforhd) just released a MAJOR report looking at UnitedHealth’s nearly 2,700 subsidiaries. UHC is no longer just an insurance company — they're monopolizing the ENTIRE health care system. #SunlightUNH #BigInsurance

Right, because the best way to ensure we're not "leaving our kids with these giant debts" so they can "afford health care and good food" is to [checks notes] slash billions of dollars from SNAP and health care programs 👍
