3/100 “#Medicaid allows our family to function. It allows us as parents to sleep at night knowing Willa’s safe with a nurse. It makes it possible for us to work. It gives Willa access to the tech she needs to communicate & thrive.” #ProtectOurCare bit.ly/2ZzAeJ3

New @USGAO study confirms that health coverage is key to meeting Americans’ medical needs. It’s more proof that there’s a human toll to red states refusing to expand Medicaid to millions of Americans who’d qualify. #MedicaidMatters finance.senate.gov/ranking-member…
@USGAO The new @USGAO report is a trove of data. Bottom line: Expanding Medicaid is good for people AND states! Refusing to expand Medicaid in light of this info is indefensible – and has been all along. gao.gov/products/GAO-1…
@USGAO People get the care they need when they’re covered by Medicaid. But Republicans have new schemes to kick people off Medicaid, including unfair restrictions that risk sending people into poverty & cutting off their access to affordable care.

Yes, many Medicaid beneficiaries are children. But those children have people who love them, who want to see them survive and thrive.
Moms & dads & grandparents & aunts & uncles & teachers.

Medicaid beneficiaries & their loved ones represent almost 1/4 of the US population.

As we've seen with the West Virginia teacher strike, the government is trying to pit us against each other. @RepJoeKennedy is right. There is an ongoing conversation over who is more worthy to receive assistance from the government.
