@SArtiga2 @RRudowitz @KFF @DouglasBJacobs you’re probably already on it for @PennsylvaniaGov but a useful review by team @KFF for Medicaid related actions to respond to #COVID19

Thank you @davidrubinmd, @KathyKoChin, Dr. Bryant Stephens, and @JoanAlker1 for an invigorating discussion about the future of children’s health care! And @PolicyLabCHOP and #APHA2019 for hosting. #Medicaid expansion in PA has done so much for children. twitter.com/policylabchop/…

PolicyLab at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia@PolicyLabCHOP

This has been an excellent coffee-fueled discussion on how we can improve equity, affordability & quality for children's health coverage in the U.S. Thanks so much to our expert speakers! #APHA2019 #Medicaid #CHIP

@nytopinion Step two: Ensure everyone can afford their healthcare-- and that means doing more to safeguard patients over profits. Thanks @nytopinion for publishing my piece!

Brigham and Women's Hospital@BrighamWomens

Earlier this week, the #Brigham community gathered together to rally against the government’s public charge rule, which could negatively impact the health and well-being of our immigrant communities. The deadline for public comment is Monday. Submit yours: protectingimmigrantfamilies.org

@GeorgeTakei Couldn't have said it better myself, @GeorgeTakei. Thanks for tweeting my article. Choosing between insulin and immigration status is a false dichotomy created by our government to torture our nation's most vulnerable immigrants. #NoToPublicCharge #ProtectFamilies

George Takei@GeorgeTakei·4 Ara

Donald's proposed "public charge" rule is cruel and would put many of our immigrant families at risk, forcing them to choose between their health and their immigration status. #NotoPublicCharge #ProtectFamilies nyti.ms/2ISiaQf

@UHCANnatl It's true, @UHCANnatl. Submit public comments to regulations.gov/comment?D=USCI… to help @DHSgov understand why this proposed rule is so detrimental.

Universal HC Action@UHCANnatl·12 Eki

"Even if my patient from Ecuador decides the unthinkable, forgoing Medicaid + chemotherapy," his cancer itself could be used to deny a green card. Health conditions would be "heavily weighted factors in a public charge designation." ~@DouglasBJacobs nyti.ms/2A2nGgm

@ErinMcAleer1 @projectbread Of course! Thank you for your work @ErinMcAleer1 and @projectbread to fight against hunger and to improve the social determinants of health. If you can, submitting comments to regulations.gov/comment?D=USCI… is one of the best strategies to stop this rule from implementation

#Trump Administration's #publiccharge plan would disproportionately impact Californians, holding access to basic nutrition & #healthcare over their heads-a way to hurt & scare hardworking immigrant families & our economy. We're prepared to take any & all action to challenge it
