We're proud to endorse this effort to get corporate money — like that of large health insurance companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield — out of Michigan politics. If you're a Michigander who wants to sign the petition or volunteer, visit:

Some good news: Trump and Musk's NIH cuts are toast.

ICYMI: The court's decision this week doesn't put a stop to the broader attacks against mifepristone. We must keep working to protect access to this safe, effective, and critical medication.

Republican lawmakers in Ohio continue to push extremist anti-abortion bills, even though voters overwhelmingly supported abortion access in 2023. Physicians are holding them accountable.

Donald Trump wants to take health care away from seniors in order to pay for more war.

@protecthealthcare.medsky.social Executive Director Dr. Rob Davidson told Spectrum News, “As physicians, we swore an oath to our patients. We think the people in charge also swore an oath to their constituents, to the Constitution, and they’re not upholding it.” spectrumnews1.com/ca/southern-...

Republican Medicaid cuts could force more than 400 hospitals to close.

Republicans want to take away your health care to pay for more war.

With a criminal case of murder for an abortion in Georgia, Dr. Chelsea Daniels joined @deanobeidallah.bsky.social to discuss the ramifications of the politicization of women's reproductive healthcare. LISTEN: siriusxm.us/Dean

As they should.

It's been 16 years since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. Former Congressman Mark Schauer, who provided a critical vote in favor of the law, discusses its politics past, present, and future on this special episode of Paging America.

The Right to Contraception Act, recently re-introduced by Sen. Hesselbein and Rep. Subeck, would codify the right to contraception in state statute. Grateful to the lawmakers, advocates, and health professionals who joined today’s roundtable on contraception. @protecthealthcare.medsky.social

Trump and RFK Jr.'s destruction of public health infrastructure could impact our health for generations to come.

Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress and the White House have been gutting Medicaid and letting tax credits for ACA plans expire.

Join us for our first ever national organizing summit — an opportunity to build community with physicians and health advocates who share our values, at a critical moment in the trajectory of American health care and democracy.

RFK might try to keep his attacks on vaccines quiet, but doctors won't.

After Senator Susan Collins voted to confirm RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary last year, Maine physicians are urging her not to make the same mistake with Casey Means.

Dr. Aisha Harris, a family physician in Flint, MI, went to Washington, D.C. this week to talk about the REAL state of the union: Patients are paying more for care, and getting less access.

Tonight President Trump will deliver his State of the Union address. Will he share the stories of the Americans who've been forced to pay thousands more per year for health care, or drop it altogether, because he let ACA tax credits expire?

Middle-income families in America are spending an average of 10% of their incomes on health premiums and deductibles now. In many states, it's even more. Families deserve health care that doesn't bust their budgets.

Republicans are in charge of the House and Senate. Republicans let this happen.

@drrobdavidson.bsky.social on RFK Jr. one year in: "You fed those people false information to create the distrust, and now you’re sweeping into power and you’re going to cure the distrust by promoting the same disinformation. It’s upside-down."

Tuesday w/ w/ @zerlinamaxwell.bsky.social: Member of @protecthealthcare.medsky.social Dr. Erin Stevens, Fulton County Commissioner @commishbarrett.bsky.social, @repnikema.bsky.social of GA-05 + NAACP's Abre' Conner! ☎️ 866-997-4748 📻 @siriusxmprog.bsky.social Ch. 127 siriusxm.us/Zerlina

Surprise surprise: TrumpRx isn't everything it's cracked up to be.

Exciting news: The Committee to Protect Health Care is hosting our first ever national conference this year. We invite physicians to join us to get the skills and resources you need to advocate at this critical time for health care and democracy:

This is getting old.

Nearly three-quarters of voters say health care costs will affect their choices in November.

ICE should get out of hospitals. Now.

Good news: Last week, the VA General Assembly moved a ballot measure forward that, if passed, will protect the individual freedom to make reproductive health care decisions without fear of government interference. Dr. David Clark joined legislators to share why physicians support the ballot measure.

"'Any medical center or hospital is supposed to be a place of healing. It is a place where people go when they are at their most vulnerable, when they are hurt or scared or in need of care, and any presence that disrupts that environment is harmful.'"

Turns out that Greenlanders like having free health care!

Is affordable health care too much to ask for?

3 in 5 Americans support access to medication abortion via telehealth. Today's Senate HELP Committee hearing ignores public will & evidence. It's a sham hearing promoting extremism disguised as safety. See more from @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social: navigatorresearch.org/two-in-three...

How Will RFK Jr.'s New Vax Schedule Impact Public Health? | Dr. Rob Davidson Joins Susan Demas @sjdemas.bsky.social @drrobdavidson.bsky.social @lincolnsquare.media www.lincolnsquare.media/p/how-will-r...

@drrobdavidson.bsky.social on RFK Jr.'s latest anti-vaccine messaging: "For him to say it'd be better if fewer kids got (the vaccine) is reckless and dangerous."

If Congress doesn't extend the ACA tax credits, more labor & delivery units will close. More rural hospitals will close. Moms and babies will pay the price. We must stop the #HealthcareHeist.

Congressional Republicans' decision to take away ACA tax credits is harming Americans, like the families Dr. Tamara Nix in Atlanta sees. This week, Congress has an opportunity to restore the tax credits before open enrollment ends Jan. 15. Patients are depending on them to stop the #HealthcareHeist.

A reminder that RFK Jr., who is unilaterally rolling back vaccine recommendations that keep kids safe, has no medical training.

If members of Congress *actually* want to help lower health care costs, they should extend the ACA tax credits now, and pass site-neutral payments later.

While Republicans struggle to come up with a health care plan, American families are struggling with skyrocketing premium costs.

Republicans in the Senate made the choice today not to extend the ACA tax credits millions of Americans rely on to be able to afford their health care.

Our health care system is broken. But Republicans are making it worse.

#4: Paging America. I listen to this pod religiously ever since I found it. Featuring Dr. Rob Davidson of @protecthealthcare.medsky.social, it helpfully breaks down all the medical news. If you're in medicine or care about how the current admin is hurting medicine, this pod is a must! #MedSky

Congress should act now to extend the ACA tax credits, but also work to make health care more affordable long term. Dr. Clarissa Hoff shares ideas for how ⤵️

A new law going into effect in Texas tomorrow allows ANYONE in the state to sue anyone who prescribes or mails abortion medication to other Texans — including doctors in other states. Physicians are sounding the alarm on this harmful new type of abortion ban.

Mifepristone is safe, effective, and essential. It's also under attack by courts and politicians practicing medicine without a license. Physicians: join me, Rep. Kim Schrier, MD & @protecthealthcare.medsky.social to learn how we fight back. Our patients are counting on us.

Texas HB 7 bans abortion pills across state lines—location doesn't protect you. Any citizen can sue providers for $100K+ per offense. Republicans call it "safety." It's control, plain and simple. @protecthealthcare.medsky.social

ICYMI: Republican politicians are working hard to restrict access to abortion medication. We're working to protect it.

Congressional Republicans continue to play dangerous, partisan games with Americans' health care.

"Despite repeated promises to offer an alternative to Obamacare, Mr. Trump has nothing much to show on the issue, beyond a vague plan to send money directly to policyholders."
