70 million people with disabilities and serious medical conditions receive in-home care assistance they otherwise could not afford without Medicaid.
This is about survival AND quality of life. By gutting Medicaid, Republicans' Big Ugly Law threatens both.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
![Text reads: Medicaid has been a godsend that Bolduc says lets her family enjoy a good quality of life, despite the medical challenges. “We have friends and family. We interact with neighbors. We have our dogs. We have a good life despite our challenges,” she says.
“And we provide employment for five people who work as attendants for Bruce and Tiffany. While I provide the vast majority of Bruce’s care and oversee Tiffany’s care, I simply cannot provide that level of care without help. And all of their attendants would lose their job.”
The potential gutting of Medicaid is terrifying to Bolduc. [yellow highlight begins] “Without Medicaid, I honestly don’t know how we would survive. Bruce would die within months,” [yellow highlight ends] she says.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did%3Aplc%3Acsby5urerm7r3w5psnxscmaz/bafkreigrfwnf43m7svcutfk7irjdqkuqnomocpy3mscu2twdod6zomqnpu@jpeg)
I was happy to join folks at Ward Canyon Park for a community cleanup last weekend. Thanks to SD City Councilmember @seanelorivera.bsky.social for organizing this alongside several great organizations!
Guess my Republican colleagues didn’t think this one through.
This isn’t cancel culture – it’s state-sanctioned censorship. The President of the United States should know and respect that our First Amendment protects speech even if he doesn’t agree with it. If Jimmy Kimmel can be fired, you can be too.
24 million people on ACA health insurance plans will see their costs go up by up to 75% next year – unless Republicans join Democrats in Congress to extend the ACA premium tax credit.
For many, this tax credit is the difference between having health care and not.
Grocery prices are up, tariffs are piling on, job numbers are down – and Trump is too busy lining his own pockets with crypto schemes to care.
1 in 4 military families report infertility (higher than the national average). That’s why I'm fighting to expand military health care coverage of IVF and fertility treatments for our service members and their dependents.
Health care costs are rising and Republicans in Congress are making it worse.
They voted to gut Medicaid and have (so far) failed to extend the ACA premium tax credits that help millions of working families afford health insurance. We need action now.
Quick question: is pushing 1 million people into poverty making America great again?? Just curious.
Your health care premiums could go up by 75% next year. Here's what we can do to stop that.
Trump’s tariffs and inflation are hurtling our economy toward a recession…and Trump is focused on expanding his White House ballroom. Can’t say I’m surprised.
Call me crazy – but I don’t think we should make 99% of Americans worse off so Donald Trump and his billionaire friends can profit.
I think rich people should pay more in taxes. And I think everyone should have health care and be able to make ends meet.
Lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians won’t be built on permanent occupation. But it’s obvious that PM Netanyahu isn't interested in peace, he only wants to hold onto his own power.
Our service members sacrifice so much for us – but they should NEVER have to sacrifice building a family. That’s why I’m fighting so hard for TRICARE to cover fertility treatments – including IVF – for service members and their dependents.
The 47th shooting on a school campus this year. It’s horrifying and heartbreaking every single time.
Gun violence is not inevitable. Congress has a responsibility to act.
There’s nothing glamorous about freezing your eggs…it feels like puberty, menopause, and pregnancy all together. But if we’re not talking about what it’s like to go through egg freezing, then there’s no way we’ll have good policy on it. That’s why I’m sharing my story:
Trump’s energy policies aren’t working – and now Americans are paying the price.
On September 11, 2001, our country was changed forever.
Today, 24 years later, we remember those we lost and honor the first responders who courageously ran toward danger to save lives. We will never forget.
