"Universal health care is the only way out of this policy trap. We need an updated study of the benefits and costs of implementing a universal, publicly-financed system, as laid out in Act 48." Karen Saunders writes in @vtdigger, out today: vtdigger.org/2024/03/05/kar… #vtpoli

@UniteThePoor “We are here to tell our legislators and our congresspeople: Stop listening to the lobbyists that serve Wall St profiteers,” said Madelyn Walker, a speaker at the march. “Listen to the poor: We live the problems firsthand, and only we know how to fix them.” #vtpoli #unitethepoor

@UniteThePoor “Then I got cut off from Medicaid because I didn’t get my mail, which meant I didn’t qualify for my in-home caregiver service, nor could I go to my specialists. Now I’m in well-over $2,000 in debt,” Liddell continued. #vtpoli #NoMedicaidCutsVT #2023NVMAWeekofAction
