THREAD 📌 In 4yrs NO ONE reached out to Hillary voters. We were treated to endless interviews with Trump supporters, but never a word from the people who were cheated out of a president. For 4yrs we were terrorized by the Trump regime and its racist, misogynist, abelist policies.
For 4yrs Republicans and their enabling cohort in the MSM lied to us and about us and never gave us a platform to refute their claims. They continued their assault on Hillary Clinton, whose only seeming crime was calling out white supremacy and institutional racism and misogyny.
While countless Black men, women, children and #disabled were murdered by police, the GOP either sat silent or demonized the victims. While sick and disabled Americans were desperate for #healthcare, Trump and the GOP drove an assault on the #ACA, #Medicare and #Medicaid.

This is a terrible story. Mental illness is at an all-time high in the US as several medical journals have detailed. The awful irony is Parscale's boss is the locus of most of the situational depression and anxiety.

Brad Parscale Hospitalized nytimes.com/2020/09/27/us/…
Stress of the #pandemic, shutdown & economic crash have created severe MHproblems for many. Yet Trump remains intent on ending all #healthcare protections of the #ACA. Fortunately, Parscale will be able to be treated due to that law. But now he will have a #PreExistingCondition.

Folks in my mentions are claiming the #ACA is insurance. No, the ACA is a LAW governing insurance. It protects #PreExistingConditions. It provides the healthcare marketplace, which offers private insurance options and tax subsidies or #Medicaid access for people who qualify.
Those of us who remember insurance BEFORE the #ACA was passed a decade ago also remember that being female was itself a #PreExistingCondition. Women were charged more for insurance and not one prophylactic for women, including PAP tests and mammograms, was covered. Nor maternity!
If we lose the #ACA--which is Trump's intent--women will go back to not being covered. #Medicaid will be less available. Fewer people will have access to buying affordable insurance coverage. We need to secure the #ACA to protect existing coverage until we can get #M4A.

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

#DCCircuit affirms district court, rules against private insurers seeking to crush their competitors by stripping coverage from patients with #PreexistingConditions.

cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opini… #STLDI #ACAPvTreasury #CatoHealth @CatoInstitute @TheBuckeyeInst @jrovner @StephArmour1
Appellants are @safetynetplans -- i.e., #ACA-participating private insurance companies.

They complain competition from short-term, limited duration health plans--#STLDI, which Congress exempts from #ObamaCare's costly regulations--are hurting their revenues.
These #ACA plans literally asked the court to block their competitors from offering a product because many consumers would like their competitors' products better than #ObamaCare coverage.

Thread 1/: Every damn day there are stories on the latest polls, who Trump insulted in a tweet, and now we get to read in every outlet about the pardon of DeBartolo. Meanwhile people are making life and death decisions because they can't afford insulin and their deductibles...
2/: ...and co-pays are too high. People are sitting at home with chest pain and stroke symptoms because they do not have insurance (still over 20 million). Seniors are getting screwed by Medicare Advantage plans that are cheap up front, but do not cover them when they need...
3/: ...it. Can we stop chasing the shiny object, and for once focus on the single most important issue to voters in the coming election, healthcare? And enough of the Dem primary arguments over M4A vs. Public Option. @realDonaldTrump is trying to eliminate...

The health care of tens of millions of Americans is on the line. This lawsuit to undermine the #ACA is personal to me. #CripTheVote #ProtectOurCare #WhatsAtStake /1
15 years ago I was #paralyzed by a random bullet. I woke up from an induced coma to learn I had lost my #healthcare & I was now bankrupt, my family as shattered as my spine. #CripTheVote #ProtectOurCare #WhatsAtStake /2
Over the next several years, I struggled. It was a constant fight to get the equipment, medicines and therapies I needed to survive. I lived in poverty, often having to decide which was more important: medicine or food. #CripTheVote #ProtectOurCare #WhatsAtStake /3

Friends, tomorrow a Federal appeals court will hear arguments on the Administration's lawsuit to throw out the entire #ACA -- including #PreExistingCondition protections.

A thread on what this means. 1/ usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
The fight to #SavetheACA is why Little Lobbyists exists. #ACA protections allow our kids to survive and thrive: #PreExistingConditions & essential care covered, no arbitrary annual/lifetime caps on care. 2/ littlelobbyists.org/our-stories
So when this Administration and the GOP in Congress began attacking the #ACA over two years ago, families organized together to fight back, to stand up for our kids and millions of others who would be devastated by these attacks. 3/ vox.com/policy-and-pol…

🔥Hey Trump - I’ll tell you who can pay for your dаmn wall ... Robert Mercer. He owes $7B to the IRS‼️ vice.com/en_us/article/…
Or better yet, fuck your wall and veterans what you stole from them and help pay for pre existing conditions‼️
🔥#MAGAs who are jumping for joy that ObamaCare was declared unconstitutional by a corrupt Federalist Judge in Texas can get back with me when they learn that they can’t afford health insurance because EVERYTHING is going to be a #PreExistingCondition 🔥
