  12. #DarrenSoto stated on October 13, 2025 in an X post:
    #Florida will be the “hardest hit” state in the country if enhanced #AffordableCareAct subsidies expire.

    Florida’s #insurance hikes and #uninsured rates will be among nation’s largest if #ACA credits expire

  13. Some, scared off by the complexity of picking a #HealthInsurance policy & by the #PriceTag, tumble over the edge & go without #insurance, in a #health system where the rate for an ER visit can be thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars.

    Today, an estimated 15% of 26-year-olds go #uninsured, which, acc/to an analysis by the health research group KFF, is the highest rate among Americans of any age.

  14. The #Senate plan to slash #Medicaid & #ACA marketplace #funding could lead to nearly 12 million more people without insurance by 2034, the #CBO estimates. That in turn would harm the finances of #hospitals, #NursingHomes & #community #health centers—which would have to absorb more of the cost of treating #uninsured people—& may force them to reduce services & employees, as well as close facilities.

  15. #Trump's #OneBigBeautifulBill cuts federal #spending on #Medicaid & #AffordableCareAct marketplaces by ~$1 trillion over a decade, acc/to the #nonpartisan #CBO, threatening the physical & financial #health of tens of millions of #Americans.

    The bill, which the #Senate passed Tues, would reverse many of the health coverage gains of #Biden & #Obama, whose policies made it easier for millions of people to access #healthcare & reduced the US #uninsured rate to record lows.

  16. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that, by imposing #Medicaid #WorkRequirements, the bill would eventually increase the #uninsured population by at least 8.6M. At first, #Republicans tried to defend this outcome on the grounds that it would affect only lazy people who refuse to work. This is clearly untrue, however.

    Hospitals compete to attract patients to their facilities by offering high quality care, a broad #scope of #services, #amenities, #convenience, customer service, and attention to patient satisfaction.

  23. #ActionAlert

    From #MomsRising, MomsRising.org

    The #InflationReductionAct caps #insulin at $35 for #Medicare recipients 65+. But thanks to pols & #BigPharma, millions of people with #diabetes on private insurance must still pay much more for insulin — often more than they can afford. And #uninsured people, forced to pay full price, likely can't afford even discounted care.

    Tell #Congress to #savelives by capping insulin's cost. Sign the petition.
