Trump has betrayed the rural communities that he promised to protect. His plan to gut health care will devastate hospitals that rely on Medicaid funding, especially those in rural areas. It’s inhumane. https://t.co/32fVqU7W0N

As it stands, President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful, Bill” would have a disproportionate impact in red states that helped propel him to victory.

Can the public's rage over our broken health care system, which boiled over following the fatal shooting of UHC executive Brian Thompson, be channeled into anything productive? Some thoughts on the events of this week (gift link): https://t.co/Pey9XPix7g

The ghoulish reaction to the slaying of UnitedHealth's Brian Thompson reflects frustration over a failed and unfair system.

The Biden administration is proposing Medicare & Medicaid coverage for obesity drugs like Wegovy & Zepbound. Finally. Some thoughts in my latest for @opinion (🎁 link): https://t.co/tnyIPN9tvb

The Biden administration’s proposal to expand coverage of weight-loss drugs to Medicare and Medicaid recipients is expensive but worthwhile.

Nominees to head the CDC and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and surgeon general could do long-term damage.

RFK Jr.'s promotion of bizarre conspiracy theories could turn the government into an accelerant for misinformation, writes @lisamjarvis for @opinion. The list of his disqualifying attributes for HHS secretary is long

Feels like a day to re-up my piece from June on the urgent need to move beyond bake sales & into real, sustainable, long-term funding to get pregnant people to care:
bloomberg.com
Two years post-Dobbs, too many nonprofits still rely on volunteers and bake sales to underpin their efforts. Lawmakers and philanthropists need to step up.

This is the abortion-rights movement's first ballot measure defeat since the fall of Roe in June 2022, following a streak of wins across blue, red and purple states.
politico.com
Support for abortion cuts across party lines, performing significantly better at the ballot box than Biden and other Democrats.
Florida's abortion rights ballot measure is falling short of the required 60% threshold, meaning it's defeated despite a solid majority voting in favor, leaving the 6wk ban in place. State anti-abortion groups are both celebrating & demanding DeSantis pursue a total abortion ban.

Trump says he will “protect women … whether they like it or not.” But what about the women who have died from abortion bans? asks @lisamjarvis

@TimOBrien “There’s a gender-gap in this early vote,” says @MaryEllenKlas. “Women are turning out in higher numbers, both for Republicans and Democrats. Is there a reason to think that women are going to put Harris over the top? I think that may be the case.” https://t.co/hB6TQD8Qox
