Health insurance in America is awful. To the for-profit healthcare advocates who claim insurance increases efficiency: U.S. doctors spend two hours tangled in healthcare bureaucracy for every one hour they spend treating patients. Let that sink in. 🧵
Health insurance treatment is criminal. So the latest Aetna shenanigan is that they went back in time and denied a claim they had already approved and paid from two years ago. So, of course, I appealed because their denial reason is “we aren't primary” (they are). So of course I appealed. Today,
Reject Trump's undemocratic lawsuit against the free press
Trump's lawsuit against pollster Ann Selzer and the Des Moines Register is a blatant attack on freedom of the press and democracy itself. It alleges violations of Iowa's Consumer Fraud Act, but fails to provide any credible evidence of actual fraud or damages incurred by Trump. Instead, it relies on
Social Security doesn't add a penny to the debt and it can be expanded by simply making millionaires and billionaires pay in all year. You know what adds to the debt? Tax breaks for the rich. Do the right thing. Expand social security and Medicare, not tax breaks for the rich.
For profit medical insurance companies should not exist, at all. It should be Medicare for all, or better, for every American, regardless of age. Real life illustration: “Our health insurance, Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah @regenceutah is denying coverage of a cancer drug (Perjeta) for
I am writing to urge you to strongly oppose the potential nomination of Kristi Noem as Director of Homeland Security. As the governor of South Dakota, Noem has exhibited alarming far-right and authoritarian tendencies that make her unfit to lead an agency tasked with protecting our nation's security
Elon Musk makes over $71,000,000 an hour yet thinks we don't deserve our paltry social security benefits that we've paid into our entire working life. Stop the grift.
Learn to do your job! According to Congressman Meuser, the House's job isn't to serve as the elected representatives of the people, to write laws, manage the budget, or act as a check on executive power, but rather to simply nod dumbly and rubberstamp fascism.
Trump is blaming Biden for your failure. This is a Biden problem to solve? Okay, arrest Trump and deport Musk. Problem solved. What? Oh, I see. Well then, explain to me how REPUBLICANS failing to pass a REPUBLICAN bill in a majority REPULBICAN House is somehow Biden's problem to solve? Becaus
You people are pathetic. Just so we’re clear what just happened: Republicans tore apart their funding agreement with Democrats after Elon Musk told them to. They created a new bill that defunded child cancer research. And then they failed to pass that bill too.
No government shutdown
A government shutdown hurts working-class Americans and always ends up costing us more. There is a bipartisan bill in the works that would prevent it. Please do not bow to the pressure from president-elect Trump. There are three branches to our government for a reason and the president does not
no recess appointments
The recess appointment process undermines the critical system of checks and balances enshrined in our Constitution. Allowing the executive branch to unilaterally install officials without Senate approval circumvents an essential oversight role and consolidates power in a way the Framers explicitly s

Pass a continuing resolution. It's unfair to Americans that our country gets held hostage with government shutdowns. New Year. President Trump shouldn't be remembered as the President who ushered in 2 government shutdowns at a time when we should be celebrating Christmas and the They are a waste of
Pass PBM Reform NOW for Equitable Healthcare
As a concerned citizen, I urge you to vote in favor of common-sense reforms for corporate insurance and their middlemen PBMs. Please act now and take action to pass S. 2973 and S. 3430 to stop PBMs from profiting at the expense of underserved seniors. PBMs are the corporate middlemen that exploit v
End the killing! The UK and Australia had one mass shooting. They immediately took action. No shooting since then. Stop prioritizing guns over our lives!
Stop the school shootings! I can’t stop thinking about the second grader in Wisconsin that called 911 to report that a 15 year old was shooting inside their school My daughter has a second grader. She loves Bluey and her bed is covered in a mountain of stuffies. Her hair smells like strawberries
Hi, my name is Madeline Korth and I live in 44118. Please cosponsor HR 8600, the GOSAFE Act! Help protect American lives from mass shootings.
What is occurring right now with these ludacris cabinet picks from trump is appalling, and setting us up to be a laughing stock. Notably a secdef option who isn't for women in combat? Where the hell did he serve? You, republicans, have had multiple opportunities to step in and shut him down. Act now
STOP THE NEEDLESS DEATHS Guns are killing thousands every year. Health insurance claims denials are killing thousands every year. Fear of bankruptcy leads to thousands of deaths every year. Yet Congress continues to show that they just don’t care. Shame on you all.
Health Insurance should not be for used on profits for stock holders. America’s largest health insurers have raked in more than $371 billion in profits since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, according to financial data reviewed by The Lever. More than 40 percent of that net income went to Un
Kush Patel is bad for Americans
I’m deeply concerned at Trump’s decision to fire Christopher Wray and replace him with Kash Patel as the director of the FBI. It’s profoundly dangerous—not just because Patel is unqualified and has suggested he’d like to dismantle large parts of the agency, but because firing a Senate-confirmed FBI

It is deeply concerning that over 162,000 DACA recipients have been cut off from accessing affordable health insurance through the Affordable Care Act in 19 states. The ruling by a North Dakota federal judge prohibiting the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services from allowing DACA recipients to
I am concerned about Section 708 of the NDAA passed by the House on December 11. My understanding is that it eliminates health care through TRICARE for trans minors of military personnel. This provision will jeopardize the lives of trans youths and disrupt the lives of their military families. I wan
Our current health care system is borderline criminal. Goes to pick up prescription with insurance: $70 Asks what the GoodRX price is: $40 Goes to urgent care: $150 copay + I’m sure I’ll get a bill for my deductible that’s outrageous Asks what the non insured price is: $120 The math is not mat
Universal Healthcare. From a doctor : "My contribution to the Healthcare buzz. I was a psychologist for 40+ years. Coming home from work, I had a massive heart attack. Unconscious, airlift to Boston, quadruple bypass, brain bleed. ICU for 6 weeks, family called, palliative care, dialysis. 11 month
Another example of the problem with our healthcare system is. Just had a friend who was scheduled for a heart cath tomorrow get a call this afternoon and suddenly it was deemed "medically unnecessary". The cardiologist wanting to do the procedure is one of the best in Missouri. If he thinks a pro
