Rep. Magaziner: 8 million Americans have lost their health insurance over the last year. … Millions more have seen their health insurance premiums go up by hundreds and thousands of dollars. Hospitals and community health centers have shut down all across the country.

Protect Our Care’s President Brad Woodhouse: The minute H.R. 1 passed and was headed to the President’s desk, the first hospital announced its closure because of what it anticipated was the financial pressure that it would receive.

Protect Our Care’s President Brad Woodhouse testified before the House Workforce and Education Committee today that 15 million Americans will lose their health care coverage due to Republican cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.

POC President Brad Woodhouse: Frankly, nothing can distract from the reality that H.R. 1 cut $1 trillion from Medicaid and the ACA, which will rip live-saving coverage away from 15 million Americans, including seniors, children, and people with disabilities.

Rep. DeSaulnier: Instead of working together to lower health care costs and tackle Big Pharma, the big, ugly bill just made things much worse, just to transfer more wealth to the wealthiest amongst us, during the highest level of inequality in the history of the country.

Sen. Ossoff: Donald Trump and Mike Collins decided to double health insurance premiums for more than a million Georgians with their attacks on the Affordable Care Act. We’ve seen — in just the last 6 months — more than 300,000 Georgians lose their health insurance altogether.

BREAKING: We just sued the Trump Administration for trying to rip away Medicaid from Pennsylvanians who need it most. Donald Trump, Dr. Oz, and RFK Jr. are hellbent on trying to push aside people who rely on Medicaid to get the care they need.

Sen. Ossoff: We’ve seen 300,000 Georgians lose health coverage in the last six months because they couldn’t find room in the budget for health insurance, but they’ve got room in the budget for a tungsten mine overseas, controlled in part by Prince Don and Prince Eric.

📊 NEW NUMBERS: Eight million Americans have now lost health care coverage after Trump and the GOP passed the largest health care cuts in history. Read the full breakdown here ⬇️ www.protectourcare.org/update-over-...

According to our new analysis, over 8 million Americans have now lost health care coverage in the year following Trump-GOP health care cuts — a sum that eclipses the populations of all but 13 states, approaches the size of New York City, and continues to grow every day.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten reports on new polling numbers, calling health care a “secret weapon” for Democrats.

MS NOW’s Jacob Soboroff reports on Lynn Calloway — a woman in Texas who was denied treatment for an active miscarriage by multiple doctors because of the state’s abortion ban.

Newly released emails reveal RFK Jr. called for canceling federal flu shot ads during a deadly flu season — even after assuring Congress he believed vaccines play a "critical role in health care."

Rep. Krishnamoorthi: Whether its screwworm, measles, whooping cough, or other public health crises, the lesson is the same: when we weaken our nations public health system, we are making Americans hurt again. Thats the new MAHA.

Over and over Republicans said they would not kick Americans off health care. They lied. New data shows 5 million people have already lost insurance.

🚨🚨Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-OR) and 14 others have introduced the Medicare Cost Cap Act — a potentially big step for Democrats toward lowering health care costs for seniors and Americans with disabilities who rely on Medicare.

Rep. Fletcher: President Trump has pardoned, according to the New York Times, at least 70 allies, donors, and other people who have been convicted of fraud — including being convicted of defrauding the Untied States government through Medicaid Fraud. The President is pardoning them.

🚨 The Supreme Court has now ruled that Monsanto — the producer of the cancer-causing weedkiller known as Roundup — cannot be held responsible for failing to warm users about the risks of using their product. This decision allows producers the protection of a liability shield from the Trump admin.

Rep. DeGette: Only blue states have had their Medicaid funding deferred or threatened, and CMS has shown no evidence that these states are worse actors. Frankly, unfortunately, this is a staged performance to target blue states — not a genuine fraud investigation.

Rep. Pallone: According to a recent study, 5 million Americans have already lost their health insurance as a result of these [Medicaid and ACA] cuts, and unfortunately, this is just the beginning.

Representative Clarke cited our newest report on Medicaid and ACA enrollment losses in today’s hearing, identifying more than 5 million Americans who have lost their health care coverage since the passage of the OBBA:

This mother was denied a necessary medical abortion procedure by her doctors after Republicans stripped away the constitutional right to an abortion. Today, she is sharing her story:

Gov. Prizker: Since Dobbs, states across this nation have enacted draconian abortion bans, restricted access to live saving health care, and empowered politicians to interfere in the personal medical decisions of women. ... Over these four years, we have witnessed real, legislated misogyny.

Illinois Governor Pritzker announces the Reproductive Health Records Privacy Act — legislation which ensures that medical information related to abortion procedures cannot be shared with out of state actors without the explicit consent of the patient.

Mother who sought a medically necessary abortion in Texas shared her story with Senate Democrats today: The one person I trusted with my life, my doctor — my health care provider — had her hands tied by the state. Helping me could have sent her to jail.

"Affordability, not fraud, is why fewer Americans have health insurance." @rwjf.org's Katherine Hempstead is right — rising premiums, higher out-of-pocket costs, and barriers to enrollment are pushing people out of coverage. The administration's "fraud" excuse doesn't fit the facts.

A woman testifying before Senate Democrats today shared her message for the Republicans: You cannot restrict access to a category of medical care, without consequences that reach every pregnant person in this country.

Sen. Murray: Senate Republicans don’t just want women to stay pregnant, they want them to stay silent. Republicans don’t want to hear from the rape survivors they denied care. They don’t want to hear from the girls they forced into motherhood.

Sen. Murray: We are four years out from the day that Republicans ripped away the national right to abortion. The pain that that has caused — the horrors we all knew it would cause — are now plain as day.

Rep. Garcia: We are losing the battle, as it relates to research and pandemic prevention, and that is not making us healthier — it is making us more sick.

On June 24th 2022, Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court. Then, when Emily Waldorf sought medical care for an active miscarriage, her doctors in Arkansas refused to provide her the procedure she needed. The delay almost killed her. This is her story.

Oversight Democrats released a new report today which highlights the dangers that Donald Trump and RFK Jr. have exposed the American people to through their war on public health and health care access.

Trump and Republicans enacted massive Medicaid cuts and refused to extend ACA premium tax credits. The result? 5 MILLION Americans have lost Medicaid and ACA coverage. Each one a real person forced to choose between health care and paying the bills.

5 million Americans have lost their health care coverage after Trump and Republicans' Big, Ugly Bill made the single largest cut to health care funding in history. Here's @rbreich.bsky.social to explain what happened:

Americans react to Trump's renovations to the Reflecting Pool: “I can’t believe that we are spending our money this way, when there are so many higher priorities. Health care, childcare, closing the budget deficit… I mean, there’s a million places we could spend this money.”

New data reveals over 5 million Americans have lost their health care coverage in the year following Trump-GOP health care cuts.

At least 5 million Americans have lost their health care coverage since the passage of the big ugly bill nearly one year ago and it’s only going to get much worse.

NEW NUMBERS: One year after Donald Trump and Republicans passed the largest health care cuts in history to bankroll tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations, more than 5 MILLION Americans have already lost health care coverage. And it's only going to get worse.
