@AndrewSolender what happens when members stop being polite and start getting real

a look at House Democrats’ counter-programming branding for the State of the Union:

Physicians explain why they support #MedicareAdvantage: ✅ Less focus on patient volume ✅ More time for the right care ✅ Better health outcomes

We sell ourselves short when we treat fatherhood as influence instead of presence, as if we are only there to advise or optimize. What our kids really need are champions and companions. My Father's Day piece about Teddy Roosevelt: washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…

Seniors across the country are sending a message to Congress: Don’t cut Medicare Advantage.

"By the numbers: The poll found that 63% of voters believe a cut to Medicare Advantage is a cut to Medicare generally. 45% of voters also opposed the idea of including Medicare Advantage proposals as a pay-for in reconciliation. 56% of voters said they would also consider congressional changes to Medicare Advantage payments that result in higher costs or benefit cuts to be a cut to Medicare generally. And 72% of voters agreed with the statement that if the federal government cuts funding for MA plans, seniors will face higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs."
