Update: Shortly after we asked @CMSGov why they removed Medicaid.gov's Affordable Care Act site, a few ACA references were added. The extensive descriptions and links from the removed site are still gone. @PacificStand's @FrancieDiep reports psmag.com/news/obamacare…
We've updated our report on the removal of ACA info from Medicaid.gov, documenting the addition of a table listing ACA provisions to a "Program History" page: bit.ly/2umgkAm. The listed provisions match the page titles of the removed 14-page ACA site. 2/
A @CMSGov official told @PacificStand's @FrancieDiep that "over the last eight years, the guidance has been incorporated into the program and a separate ACA section is no longer necessary." @CMSgov has not yet responded to our multiple inquiries. 3/3 psmag.com/news/medicaid-…

Have questions about scheduled Healthcare.gov downtime maintenance windows? We have an explainer just in time for the start of open enrollment period, which begins tomorrow. 1/5 sunlightfoundation.com/2018/10/31/exp…
Healthcare.gov is a critical part of making Obamacare work, so last year, downtimes caused a lot of worry. And that was with good reason, given the attacks by Trump on the law. A year later, the downtimes look like less of a problem. 2/5 nytimes.com/interactive/20…
CMS didn’t provide as much detail about their systems as we would have liked, but experts and former officials helped us answer specific questions.

For example: Why does CMS schedule downtimes for Sunday mornings? CMS likely needs to coordinate downtimes with other agencies. 3/5

Not only is our health care system morally bankrupt, it's also incredibly inefficient and wasteful.

It is imperative we expose the ongoing #GOP narrative that uses Leader Nancy Pelosi as a lightening rod for misogynistic, ageist and partisan attacks and what motives and attitudes lie behind it. /1 #IStandWithNancy #GOPLies #DemocraticPrincipledLeadership
In order to get at that truth, it is vital for voters to meet Nancy Pelosi, understand her background, accomplishments and values as well as her vital importance to the Party of the People./2
Nancy Pelosi has consistently put her constituents first and foremost and as Speaker and Minority Leader she has served all Americans with the same commitment and intensity./3 #PrincipledDemocraticLeadership #IStandWithNancy

Rural healthcare reality✔️: thread.

For 14 yrs, 1 party (GOP) has controlled GA state gov’t w/legislative majorities + Governor.

In that time, 7 rural have hospitals closed. 64 counties have no pediatrician, 79 no OB/GYN, 9 no doctor at all. 1/
#gapol politics.myajc.com/news/state--re…
Per the article: “Georgia’s GOP-dominated Legislature decided not to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, saying the state could not afford the long-term cost. That has left adults who earn less than the poverty level uninsured.”
Result: 240k Georgians in ‘Medicaid Gap’
That means 240,000 more Georgians COULD have health insurance if we expanded Medicaid - but that ONE party in power (GOP) chose not to do so. That same decision also cost Georgia 56,000 JOBS annually and $6.5 billion in economic output according to @GaBudget

THREAD FOR EVERYONE OVER 40 YEARS OLD:

Do you remember “Harry & Louise”?

Here’s a reminder. Watch both commercials, but especially the second one. There’s a LOT going on here:

2/ First of all, notice how in 1993, “community rating” (i.e., not being allowed to charge people more based on their health status) was considered a HORRIBLE thing.
3/ Cut to 2018: 8 yrs after the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, 89% of the public thinks it’s important NOT to charge people more for their health insurance based on their health status. EIGHTY-NINE PERCENT. This is the real legacy of the #ACA.

Lawsuit argues w/o #ACA individual mandate (repealed in 12/17 #TaxBill) the entire law should be illegal! How? Why? What?

In 2012, Chief Justice John Roberts stopped a 2012 lawsuit to make ACA illegal. Roberts said Congress could not order people to buy insurance....BUT
