Every day that goes by without Congress passing a full-year spending bill is another day lost to expand cancer research to #ProtectCancerCures. @LeaderJohnThune and @SenatorRounds, please commit to protecting and increasing lifesaving cancer research funding.

Over the last 5 years, ACA marketplace insurance enrollment increased 157% in red states and 36% in blue states. It’s these Americans that are likely to lose their insurance if Republicans don’t do something about the expiring tax credits. My @Morning_Joe Chart

Details are still to come on "Big Beautiful Bill's" impact on Medicaid, but early indications are that the law will cut federal aid to health care by $1 trillion over the next decade. What that means for South Dakotans: buff.ly/ae2bU0q

Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off health coverage—the majority of whom are on #Medicaid—and make it more difficult and expensive to obtain and keep health insurance. The House will vote on the bill later this week. (1/2)

NEW: Stories about uninsured Americans were common before the Affordable Care Act passed. Now, in light of GOP-led health care changes, they will likely resurge, health policy experts say. @renurayasam + Sam Whitehead report. ⤵️ kffhealthnews.org/news/article/u…

This morning’s @CBSSunday segment is a powerful reminder of what’s on the line when #cancerresearch funding is at stake. Top researchers are sounding the alarm. “This is the first time I’ve felt an existential crisis in our ability to make progress.” cbsnews.com/news/when-is-c…

Republicans are currently in the “how much should we cut from Medicaid” phase of debate with one side saying “a historic amount of cuts” and the other side saying “even more than that.”

Sen. Moreno (R-Ohio) stood up during the GOP lunch and said Trump called him at midnight last night to complain about the Senate’s Medicaid provider tax crackdown. Moreno recalled Trump saying “what the fuck are you guys doing?” and said Trump wants Senate to use House framework

It’s remarkable how much of the debate about Medicaid cuts is now about hospitals and a rural hospital fund to placate critics and appear to soften the blow, not the millions of people who will lose coverage or find it unaffordable. Some will lose SNAP benefits at the same time.
