Nearly 12.8M people are dually eligible for Medicare & Medicaid, yet they face some of the most fragmented care in the U.S. Our new blog w/ @newdisabledsouth.org explores how disability advocates across the South are changing systems for the better — on their own terms. https://pulse.ly/cdnjbpgbdp

According to new @alignco.us data, 82% of people believe big change is needed to fix the U.S. health care system. Today's #HAC2026 panel "Communicating Inclusion in a Time of Division" w/ Interim Sr Director of Policy & Strategy @michellesternthal.bsky.social & partners brings facts to the front.

Happening NOW: Our President & CEO Linda Goler Blount with @academyhealth.bsky.social @apha.org @familiesusa.bsky.social. At a moment when federal attacks on health have escalated & our core public health infrastructure is under attack, the risk is not abstract. So what comes next? #HAC2026

On the 53rd anniversary of Roe v Wade, and the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, @ppfa.org President & CEO @alexismjpp.bsky.social addresses a room packed with health justice advocates at #HAC2026: “We cannot love our way out of tyranny, but we can out-organize it.”

Health equity isn't a slogan. It’s a practice—one that requires sustained investment, transparency, & shared accountability. 📍We're LIVE in D.C. #HAC2026 w/ @familiesusa.bsky.social & nat’l partners, aligning across movements to protect public health & economic security. Follow along for more.

We're in turbulent times. But the demand for solutions rooted in fairness, accountability, & opportunity is growing. So is our resolve. This week, we'll be at #HAC2026 w/ @familiesusa.bsky.social & partners across the country to strategize on what comes next. We're ready. Let's do this, together.

Affordable, accessible healthcare isn’t optional, it’s essential. See below the campaigns our partners are running on Soapboxx to collect impactful stories that advance healthcare advocacy. @momsrising.org @caringacross.org @communitycatalyst.org

Enhanced Tax Credits expired Dec 31 & many are being priced out of coverage. "What we're seeing here is a policy choice — is, in effect, turning insurance into a luxury item & medical debt into the default," said Michelle Sternthal, our interim Senior Director of Policy & Strategy to @cbsnews.com.

NEW: Congress is voting on whether to extend enhanced premium tax credits — a decision that affects family budgets and local economies. Since these credits expired, families face higher costs and tougher trade-offs. Here's how you can take action today ⬇️

2025 demanded more than vision. As costs rose and systems shifted, Community Catalyst focused on execution — turning uncertainty into forward motion. Watch the video below to learn how >> https://pulse.ly/wni0hxis8z

This year. Costs rose — and keep rising. Systems shifted. Harm was real. Still, people spoke up. Your stories shaped real decisions and grounded this work in truth. Watch our end of year video and share with us: what got you through this year?

In NM’s oil & gas industry—where 43% of workers are Latinx—a study found: 57% uninsured, 46% injured at work, 80% know someone hurt or killed. Somos Un Pueblo Unido organized for paid sick leave for all NM workers + $35M relief. This is cross-movement organizing. ⬇️ https://pulse.ly/ury7nrdu9p

The proposed public charge changes will increase fear, worsen health outcomes, and destabilize communities — impacts DHS itself has acknowledged. We urge DHS to withdraw this proposal. Health care access should not come with fear. Read our full statement here >> https://pulse.ly/w0uqd8ree0

This is a great explanation of many of the ways Medicaid saves lives and the devastating impact cuts will cause.

Without action, millions of families will see their health insurance premiums spike on January 1. For many, that will mean being forced to choose between coverage and other basic necessities like rent, groceries, or medication. Congress should not leave for the holidays without acting✊

"We are going to see a tsunami of health costs increasing" on January 1, our own Michelle Sternthal told @cbsnews.com. The rising costs could hit some harder than others, with small business owners & self-employed workers at great risk. Meet some of them >> communitycatalyst.org/news/memo-th...

The proposed Public Charge changes will cause fear & confusion while pushing families away from essential care. Immigrant families aren’t the issue, but they are being unfairly blamed. Our communities need safety, support, and stability. Not policies that cause fear and confusion.

Bria was able to access the care she needed thanks to Medicaid. Now, Medicaid cuts are closing clinics, straining rural hospitals, & limiting access to reproductive & preventive health services. Have these cuts to care affected you? Share your story >>https://pulse.ly/6durtmrhkf

🚨BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the last chance to extend enhanced ACA tax credits — choosing higher premiums, more medical debt, and deeper inequities. This isn’t an accident. This is a decision — made today — that puts millions at risk. Learn more👇

We actually just wrote a blog about this. Cash subsidies sound simple — but the impact is severe. Younger, healthier people would flock to low-quality “junk” plans or drop coverage altogether. Who’s left? Older & sicker people, skyrocketing premiums, and a real threat to the ACA. Read more👇

Community health centers were created to expand access to care, not to sue patients, garnish wages, or bury families in medical debt. New report shows some centers have filed thousands of lawsuits against the very people they’re supposed to serve. More from @propublica.org >> commcat.io/4oN91uK

Talk about #Trumpflation! If Republicans in Congress don't extend ACA enhanced tax credits, premiums nationwide will rise by 136% on average, forcing millions to pay thousands more or lose coverage. Via: @ProtectOurCare momsrising.org/POCpremiumwatch#Trumpflation#TrumpInflationCrisis

Republican leaders in Congress are all about tax credits that make their billionaire besties richer—but not the kind that make health care affordable for everyday working families. Tell Congress to stop the #HealthCarePriceHike: https://pulse.ly/1nfjyra4zd #TrumpInflationCrisis

Medicaid patients are being cut off from reproductive care they rely on because Congress cut off all Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood clinics. Planned Parenthood is stepping up to help people where they can but this is unsustainable. 💬 Learn what’s happening and why it matters in the video.

We know that when systems fail, real people suffer. And for the millions who are dually eligible, surviving these systems' complexities point to a deeper truth: they were never meant to serve us in the first place. But there's a better way forward👇

TONIGHT: Our Director of Government Affairs, Michelle Sternthal, joins @momsrising.org and Stacey Abrams for a powerful discussion! Don't miss it. Details to RSVP below👇

Our senior director of policy & strategy, Mona Shah, raised a critical point: ‘choice’ without transparency or support isn’t real choice. For those already navigating an unfair health care system, enhanced ACA subsidies will mean even less access to care. Read more >> https://pulse.ly/p72wjsmuhw

At the end of the day, people just need health care they can afford. Premium Tax Credits have helped millions stay healthy, support their families, and keep small businesses running. The path forward is clear: All those who have received these credits should continue to receive these credits.

📺WATCH NOW: The Senate Committee on Finance is holding a hearing on the rising cost of health care. This is the perfect moment to lift up the story of James Hollywood III, a small business owner + community leader in Maryland whose life and work depend on enhanced premium tax credits.

New research shows that financial strain can change cancer outcomes & Terry’s story shows what that looks like up close. While grieving his wife & facing his own cancer diagnosis, Terry was overwhelmed by medical debt collectors. What happened next sparked change in his community. More in our blog.

DHS’ public charge proposal takes us backwards. “Everyone deserves to be healthy, safe, & able to care for their families—no matter where they were born," said our Senior Director of Policy & Strategies, Mona Shah, to @newsweek.com This guidance keeps ppl from accessing care they’re eligible for.

This proposal is detrimental to everyone's health. Follow our partners at @pifcoalition.bsky.social to stay updated and support their work.

Trump’s “cash accounts” plan isn’t reform — it’s a backdoor way to gut the ACA. Higher premiums. Junk plans. Fewer protections. People deserve real solutions, not political stunts. Learn more in our new blog ⬇️

Health care affordability = economic stability. The Senate “deal” to reopen the government does nothing for families drowning in medical costs and debt. This isn’t just a moral crisis — it’s economic. People shouldn’t go into debt for care. Read more >>https://pulse.ly/ugkjy3mkkb

Happening NOW: We’re on the Hill demanding Congress protect the health care that keeps families covered. Bobby from Maryland works two jobs but could only afford insurance because of federal health care tax credits. If Congress fails to act, millions could lose care. Watch live⬇️

If Congress fails to act, ACA premiums could rise by 75% or more. That’s the difference between paying $400 vs. $700 a month — or losing coverage entirely. Policymakers caused this crisis — they can prevent it. It’s time to make ePTCs permanent >> commcat.io/43huaVO

Families are barely keeping up — groceries, rent, bills. And now Republicans just made it worse. They slashed nearly $1.1T from Medicaid and killed ACA credits that keep healthcare affordable. All to reward corporate greed. Join the fight to protect health care: commcat.io/3X7MxZQ #HealthcareHeist
