Two in three bankruptcies involve medical debt. That’s why we’ll be in Washington, D.C. next week, urging members of Congress to make healthcare costs more affordable—and to protect patients from medical debt. Want to help from home? Sign up today ➡️ lls.org/raiseyourvoice
Insurers shouldn't be allowed to stand between patients and the treatments their doctors prescribe. The Healthcare Protection Act would ban prior authorization for in-patient mental health treatments in Illinois. Ask your State Senator for their support: citizenaction-il.org/HPA
NEWS: We're expanding access to health care for Dreamers by ensuring they will no longer be ineligible for coverage through the ACA Marketplaces or a Basic Health Program—allowing an estimated 100,000 previously uninsured DACA recipients to enroll. bit.ly/3UywxPc
Very rare that 2 behemoths @UHC & @Walmart fail at anything & here they failed at launching #MedicareAdvantage co-branded plans. The failure of Walmart clinics has perhaps many lessons, but this is an add’l blow to be sure. @UHC is the largest Advantage sponsor in the US, so yet…
Everyone: “whoa even @Walmart failed at healthcare…!” Me: 🙄Maybe that’s because… 👏HEALTHCARE👏IS 👏NOT👏A👏COMMODITY👏 Doctors are not widgets. Nurses are not widgets. HCWs are not widgets. Patients are not widgets. The problem with these big box “healthcare” initiatives…
Mental health IS health, no exception or distinction. During Mental Health Awareness Month, make it a point to check in with your loved ones. We all must work to end the stigma around mental health and work toward a future where it’s treated the same as physical health. #MHAM2024
Step therapy require patients to fail on less effective treatments before accessing the one their doctors prescribe. Insurers shouldn't stand between patients and their doctors - Take action to pass the Healthcare Protection Act and ban step therapy in IL: citizenaction-il.org/HPA
Now the HPA heads to the Senate, take action to ask your Senator to support: citizenaction-il.org/HPA @RepAndrade40 @repdagmara @RepHarryBenton @staterep46 @RepMBC @RepKellyCassidy @StateRepCrespo @DelgadoRep @RepDidech @StateRepKim @RobynGabel @RepMaryGill @egonzalezjr96 @RepJGB
Because medical students are trained almost exclusively on images of white patients, they can be underprepared to care for Black patients, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment and worse outcomes. buff.ly/4dczr4z
Junk insurance carriers trap consumers into low-coverage plans that can lead to long-term medical debt. The Healthcare Protection Act would ban junk insurance plans and protect Illinois consumers. Take action to pass the HPA: citizenaction-il.org/HPA
Tonight the IL House voted to pass the Healthcare Protection Act which will improve the quality & value of health care for millions of Illinoisians. @ProtectILCare applauds bill sponsor @staterepmoeller & thanks @GovPritzker for his leadership. Now onto the Senate! #twill #HPAnow

Wouldn't it be neat if ARPA subsidy increases for ACA plans were extended beyond 2025 in this year's Congress? Industry groups are making the case. Maybe funding will be slipped into some omnibus deal? @charles_gaba has a lowdown via @amylotven acasignups.net/24/04/11/stake…
It is time to stop the predatory practices insurance companies use to pad their profits at the expense of our health. The #HealthcareProtectionAct takes significant step to put decisions back in the hands of patients and their doctors. @ProtectILCare #twill
Prior authorization is an outrageous game of "mother may I" that insurance companies play with our lives. It must end. This would be a start. @ProtectILCare #twill

This Fall, we will be enrolling DACA immigrants. This is important in lowering healthcare costs and getting them access. If you do not have health insurance then contact Suzie immediately as some people qualify early for a Healthplan. #ACA #enrollment axios.com/2024/05/03/dac…
Make no mistake that the #healthplans have their futures tethered to #MedicareAdvantage. Recall that @Humana exited the commercial insurance biz in the past 2 yrs. That @UHC is the largest #MA plan showcases the importance but also the vulnerability. Let’s be frank: many of the…
Health coverage expansions for immigrants are associated with lower uninsured rates, with immigrant adults in states that provide more expansive coverage half as likely to be uninsured as those in states with less expansive coverage (11% vs. 22%). bit.ly/3WoOqlU
We're celebrating National Nurses Week by honoring all nurses across the United States who go above and beyond to keep us safe: Thank you. Your tireless dedication makes the world a better place. Tag a nurse in the replies below to thank them individually! #NursesWeek
Since expanding Medicaid in December, over 400K North Carolinians have enrolled for full coverage. North Carolina serves as an example to other states who have yet to expand Medicaid health care coverage, because Medicaid expansion can and will save lives. bit.ly/4a73M1B

Insurers shouldn't be allowed to stand between patients and the treatments their doctors prescribe. The Healthcare Protection Act would ban prior authorization for in-patient mental health treatments in Illinois. Ask your State Senator for their support: citizenaction-il.org/HPA
Mental health plays a vital role in our overall health and well-being. During Mental Health Awareness Month, make it a point to check in with your loved ones. You’ll never know what someone else is going through unless you ask. 💚
Menopause is something every woman goes through—so there’s no reason any woman should feel like she’s going through it alone or can’t find reliable information. I led Senate women in introducing a bipartisan bill to finally treat menopause like the public health issue it is.
No, Florida is absolutely NOT "clarifying" its abortion ban. These rules are a political PR move that only further endanger patients' health and lives. I wrote about it yesterday in Abortion, Every Day (link in bio) cbsnews.com/news/florida-c…
Here in Illinois, we protect patients and doctors from retaliation when they seek reproductive care. Here in Illinois, we trust women to make decisions about their future. Here in Illinois, abortion is and will always be safe, legal, and accessible.
REMINDER: It is literally IMPOSSIBLE for Social Security to go bankrupt and we can expand benefits if wealthy elites pay their fair share.

I still can't get over this exchange between Elizabeth Warren and Andrew Witty. Semantics aside, UnitedHealth still has 90,000 physicians who have a financial incentive to work with, and look out for, UnitedHealth. That is no small thing.
You heard it correctly! Thanks to my work in Congress, no American will pay more than 8.5% of their income for marketplace plans. And yes - that means an average savings of $2,400/year.
Dreamers are our neighbors, friends, students, teachers, social workers, doctors, nurses – our fellow Americans. But over one third of DACA recipients currently don't have health insurance. Today, we took action to ensure more Dreamers are eligible to enroll in health coverage.
