BEWARE OF JUNK HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS PUSHED BY TRUMP & HIS ADMINISTRATION THEY ARE A FAST TRACK TO BANKRUPTCY washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Our very own Dr. Audrey Nath, pediatric neurologist & advocate!

Medical funding SHOULD be a social good! Like wastewater treatment, or public libraries. Well said, Dr. Kahn!

“Healthcare is a public good” PREACH

Proud to stand with @disabilityrightstx.bsky.social at #ADA35Houston today! We’re all in the same fight for #disabilityrights and healthcare for ALL, including all people with disabilities!

“We are sounding the alarm because HR-1 threatens to strip health coverage from about 11.8 million Americans by 2034. According to analysis in the Annals of Internal Medicine, these cuts will lead to as many as 24,000 preventable deaths every year.”

And we continue to FIGHT for healthcare for ALL

Sen. Bernie Sanders quoting our VP Dr. Audrey Nath, re: the impact of the proposed Medicaid cuts on rural hospitals and stroke care #SaveMedicaid

This Thursday 5/29 at 6pm- we’ve invited Rep Crenshaw to speak w/ the community re: the proposed ~$600B in Medicaid cuts in the budget HE VOTED FOR. And, Beto will join us too! Please RSVP at this link: www.mobilize.us/poweredxpeop...

Houston! Please join us this Thursday 5/29 6pm for a town hall with Beto! We’ve invited Rep Crenshaw- if he shows up, we have MANY questions to ask about the budget he just voted for and the ~$600B in Medicaid cuts. RSVP here- www.mobilize.us/poweredxpeop...

We are THRILLED to co-sponsor this town hall on healthcare and the awful Medicaid cuts! See y’all there!

“Medicaid recipients with earnings at or above the federal poverty line would have to pay SIGNIFICANT OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES for their HEALTH CARE coverage…” All for billionaire and corporate tax breaks #HandsOffOurMedicaid

This right here- the estimated $500-600B cuts to Medicaid in the current budget WILL cut services. Including to the “able bodied” ppl they want to kick off, who get cancer! And injuries! #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Next meeting!

This thread lays out the proposed Medicaid cuts in the federal budget. $880B over 10 years is a massive cut which will hit families in every county, particularly in areas with rural hospitals that depend on this funding. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

We want healthcare for all, NOT $880B in cuts to Medicaid for massive tax breaks for billionaires! Shame on you Rep. Crenshaw

Glad to have you out there, @audreynathmdphd.bsky.social, volunteering in the medical tent! #TakeCareOfEachOther #Healthcare4ALL

Dr. Audrey Nath is our board member and VP as well! Thank you @kpfthouston.bsky.social for hosting this discussion on how damaging the proposed cuts to Medicaid would be, particularly for rural Americans #Healthcare4ALL

Healthcare for All Texas marching in Houston with @50501movement.bsky.social on 4/5/25! @pnhp.bsky.social @singlepayercentral.bsky.social @duh4healthcare.bsky.social

Let's GO California! We need more legislation like this to stop insurers from routinely denying care! #Healthcare4ALL

"You have NO MANDATE to cut Medicaid!" is a BATTLE CRY. Thank you @algreen.house.gov, for representing your constituent and speaking truth to power #Healthcare4ALL

Dear DOGE, If you're looking for fraud, the private insurance industry stole $50 billion from taxpayers through their Medicare Advantage scam. And if you're looking to cut spending, universal healthcare with Medicare for All would save $650 billion per year.

Turn your anger into ACTION: Sign this petition to the President and Congress #DemandUniversalHealthcare. #SinglePayer #M4A #MedicareForAll #Medicare4All or whatever we want to call it

"...Texas (August 2024) require[s] hospitals that receive Medicaid or CHIP funding to collect immigration status from patients. Federal law requires that patients’ response will NOT affect their care and that they CANNOT BE DENIED emergency care"

"How would a state cover a traveling Medicare beneficiary who spends the winter in warmer climes? How would a state cover a worker who works across state lines yet lives in the state or vice versa?" #Healthcare4ALL

Congrats to our own treasurer Lesly Van Dame on her letter to the Ed being published in @houstonchronicle.com! An excerpt: “…the UnitedHealth Group reported about $22 billion in profit in 2023. If that money could go directly to health care, we could perhaps eliminate all denied care.” 👏👏👏

2) The research team further calculated that in a non-pandemic year, some $438 billion would be saved by single-payer universal health care, like Medicare for All. ysph.yale.edu/news-article...
