New OpEd from our ED AbbyEmanuelson: "You can’t make America healthy by making it hungrier." Cuts to SNAP and school meals don’t just hurt kids—they hurt our communities. 👇 https://t.co/SirOQYN6Fd #SchoolMeals #SNAP #MedicaidCuts @abster_eman

The Senate bill would cut federal #Medicaid spending by $1 trillion over 10 years, per CBO. Provisions that only apply to ACA expansion states account for $526 billion of the federal spending reductions. Our analysis estimates the effects on states: https://t.co/VXkM2xuYGj

Great piece from @lbblackford about how terrifying the cuts to Medicaid are for the people who use it to see a doctor and take needed medicines. There is a real, emotional, physical, human toll that these funding cuts will take. https://t.co/iKUpwJolgr

In 2015, the year before Louisiana expanded Medicaid, the uninsured rate among working-age adults in East Carroll Parish was nearly 35%. By 2021, that number was 12.7%. “Why are we going back?” provider Jennifer Newton asked. “We’ve made so much progress.”

Any congressional offices want to share the tally of constituent calls and emails that have received for and against #OBBBA?

There's a lot of focus on what Medicaid and ACA cuts would mean for hospitals, because hospitals have lobbyists. That doesn't negate what the cuts would mean for people, with about 12 million people projected to become uninsured due to the megabill.

🔴 Today the Senate passed a bill that could strip coverage from 670,000 North Carolinians and end our state’s SNAP program. Tell the House: Reject Medicaid & SNAP cuts. Act now: https://t.co/JZ5a3WRJ2P #ProtectNCMedicaid #SaveSNAP

Senate conservatives are dropping their push for a vote on scaling back a key Medicaid funding mechanism, three sources tell us.

Medicaid expansion has been a big help to clinics, allowing them to serve more people & offer more services Made a difference in rural NC after the hurricane: "Having that capacity let people get their lives together quicker, and get back to work too" https://t.co/47d4PYjkvn

Thom Tillis found the courage to do the right thing for North Carolina | Opinion

Joint Economic Committee Democrats, led by Sen. Hassan, estimate that the Scott amendment would affect "9 states that have automatic 'trigger laws' to immediately end the [Medicaid expansion] if the federal matching percentage is reduced" https://t.co/FNaezA0PSQ

Tillis: “I cannot support this bill in its current form. It would result in tens of billions of dollars in lost funding for North Carolina, including our hospitals and rural communities. This will force the state to make painful decisions like eliminating Medicaid coverage”

KY and N.C. with the most to lose!

Proposed cuts to Medicaid would crush small and rural hospitals and make it harder for people to get the care they need. North Carolina can’t afford this.

Thank you @RepDeborahRoss for joining Little Blue Macaron, Little Blue Bakehouse, and several other small business owners for a tax and tariff tour in Raleigh, NC last week!

This so-called “big, beautiful bill” is anything but. From cutting Medicaid and leaving millions without health care to SNAP cuts, which will cause more hunger, this bill will hurt Americans – not help them. I believe in putting our people first. Leaders in D.C. should too.

TWEEPS: House Republicans are desperate to cut Medicaid in trump's "big, beautiful bill" before Memorial Day. We MUST stop them. Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies using the hashtag #AmericansNeedMedicaid to get it trending? Please and thank you!🙏💪 https://t.co/tZOZ37OvEH
