The Trump administration is making a covert attempt to privatize Medicare. For @FortuneMagazine, @amprog’s Brian Keyser sounds the alarm: fortune.com/2026/05/07/med…

Voters need lower healthcare costs now. For @MSNOWnews, @neeratanden and @topherspiro explain how Dems can address the crisis: ms.now/news/health-ca…

We need to deliver IMMEDIATE relief on premiums, deductibles, and insurance denials. americanprogress.org/article/a-pati…

Health care costs are at a breaking point, and Americans deserve real, near-term solutions to this affordability crisis. CAP has a plan to help: americanprogress.org/article/execut…

Health care should be affordable, accessible, and work for the people—not just insurance companies or hospital systems. CAP's new proposal for a patients' bill of rights has solutions to immediately lower costs and strengthen patient protections.

Rising health care costs are pushing Americans to a breaking point. CAP's new proposal for a patients' bill of rights would provide immediate relief on premiums, deductibles, and insurance denials: americanprogress.org/article/a-pati…

It's time to end prior authorization by insurance company bureaucrats. To better manage care, we need: * targeted, independent review by clinicians for the most costly services * guided by evidence-based guidelines - not arbitrary * strict 48-hour deadline * exempt routine, emergency care americanprogress.org/article/a-pati…

We've already spent over $25 billion on Trump's war in Iran. That money could have provided child care to 1.8 million children for a year.

While the Trump administration has cut $1 trillion in taxes for the rich and has reportedly just requested an additional $200 billion for its immoral war in Iran, it continues to cut programs like Medicare that assist disabled people. ampr.gs/4dcdll4

Trump's war of choice in Iran will likely cost the American taxpayer over $25 BILLION by the end of this week, and the president is now reportedly requesting an additional $200 billion to continue funding the war—an unjustifiable request. Learn how the $25B could be spent to help Americans at home: ampr.gs/4lKFtxS

Trump's Big Beautiful Bill produced the largest cuts in SNAP history—leading to deadly consequences. americanprogress.org/article/snap-c…

The largest cuts to SNAP in history will likely lead to worse health outcomes for low-income families and preventable deaths across the country, and the law’s rushed implementation timeline will only worsen these effects. ampr.gs/4lAwfEi

BIG NEWS: Virginia is one signature away from becoming the 14th state (plus D.C.) to guarantee the right to paid family and medical leave. CAP senior fellow @Molly_MWW explains:

Communities of color are 3x more likely to live in nature-deprived areas than white communities—and it's not by accident. Learn more about the nature gap: americanprogress.org/article/the-na…

As health care costs continue to rise, TrumpRx offers little relief. Of 54 drugs listed, only one features a new lower price. Americans need real reform and comprehensive solutions. americanprogress.org/article/trumpr…

I reviewed every drug on TrumpRx. Out of 54 drugs, just one—a fertility drug, Cetrotide—is cheaper than preexisting options. The rest look less like savings for patients and more like deals for pharmaceutical companies. Full @CAP_Health analysis ⬇️ americanprogress.org/article/trumpr…

The Medigap trap is a predictable—and reversible—result of policy choices. CAP's new report outlines reforms that would both prevent beneficiaries from falling into the Medigap trap and offer a way out for those already in it. ampr.gs/3OYXV9V

Millions of Medicare beneficiaries face a hidden risk - once they enroll in Medicare Advantage, returning to traditional Medicare with affordable supplemental coverage may be difficult. We explain the “Medigap trap” and how policymakers can restore choice: americanprogress.org/article/escapi…

The Trump administration is sacrificing the health and lives of Americans as it rolls back environmental safeguards and invites polluters to expose 9.5 million+ people, including 2 million+ kids, to more toxic pollution—all to boost corporate profits.
