    If You’re Pregnant and Uninsured, Medicaid Might Be Your Answer

    Prenatal care can make a huge difference to the long-term health of both the parent and baby. Every state offers health coverage to lower-income pregnant women who might otherwise go...

  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 #CBO estimates the Senate bill would increase the deficit by nearly $3.3T from 2025 to 2034, a nearly $1T increase over the #House-passed bill, which CBO has projected would add $2.4T to the debt over a decade.

    The analysis also found that 11.8 million more Americans would become #uninsured by 2034 if the bill became #law, an increase over the scoring for the House-passed version of the bill, which predicts 10.9M more people would be without #health #coverage.

    #Trump

  17. 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.

  19. Over 600,000 people in #Washington are #uninsured, and many more are underinsured. Whole Washington is pushing for a single-payer #healthcare system to guarantee everyone access to care.

    This year, two bills have the most support, with 11 Senate co-sponsors and 17 in the House. The #grassroots campaign is gaining momentum, especially after COVID revealed healthcare #inequality. The goal is to create a model for nationwide change. But it all depends on public pressure.

    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.

  25. #SCOTUS allows #HHS to divert funds over #abortion referrals

    The #SupremeCourt Tues cleared the way for the #Biden admin to strip millions of #HealthCare dollars from #Oklahoma over its refusal to direct patients to info about #abortions — a federal req that the state says would be at odds w/its strict #AbortionBan.
    
Last yr, the Biden admin diverted $4.5M from OK’s #FamilyPlanning prgm, which primarily serves #LowIncome or #uninsured patients.

  29. Eli Lilly cuts insulin prices after years of outrage arstechnica.com/science/2023/0 "Lilly said that people with commercial #insurance can ... have an automatic cap of $35 per month if they purchase their #insulin at participating retail pharmacies. People without insurance can go to htpps://InsulinAffordability.com and download a Lilly Insulin Value Program savings card to get insulin for $35 per month." Eli Lilly is more progressive than the current US administration. #uninsured #diabetes #diabetic

  30. #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.

  31. #Healthcare + #insurance are #HumanRights. Full stop. One of the hardest things I see as a #pediatrician for #uninsured #children are the catastrophic health outcomes when a child becomes ill enough to admit to the hospital due to an entirely preventable condition. Equipment + medications should be accessible to all children, esp those w/complex medical needs. It’s infuriating that systems create this and heartbreaking to see the impact on kids. We must continue to build better systems. #equity

  32. As a #pediatrician for #uninsured #immigrant children I see #inequities + injustices. I also see what’s possible when we center dignity + humanity. We work to build a more just, sustainable system by creating access + raising awareness. Every Dec we also center joy + #giving. This year we’re serving 125 families w/food, hygiene items, blankets, toys + more. Each family also gets $100 gift cards for extra support. We are less than $1000 from our goal if you’d like to help: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1W35
