The Trump administration took another step to rip health care away from millions. This Medicaid "healthy opportunity" plan will leave many sicker and deny them care they need—while Trump administration officials use taxpayer dollars for their own benefit. politico.com/news/2020/01/2…
The head of Medicaid, Seema Verma, spent millions of taxpayer dollars on consultants to boost her personal image while trying to kick people off Medicaid or significantly cut their coverage. politico.com/story/2019/03/…
And Trump’s first HHS Secretary still hasn’t repaid taxpayers for the private jets he took while fighting to rip health care from millions by repealing the ACA.

This is shameful. Taxpayer money should be used for programs meant to help American families—not for the personal benefit of Donald Trump’s corrupt administration.

My brothers look at things and say, “That’s not right.” The question is how do those guys get off the hook. The answer? Corruption. If we make that case in 2020, and fight against the most corrupt president in history, that’s how we win. #WarrenTownHall
Corruption drives my family crazy. And I think it drives people across this country crazy—whether they’re Democrats, Republicans, Independents. Because they understand that it’s not right for people to use their power to get the rules re-written in their favor. #WarrenTownHall
We have an America where the GDP keeps going up, so does the stock market and corporate profits—but hardworking families have virtually flat wages and rising costs for health care, housing, and child care. We’ve got to change that—that’s why I’m in this fight. #WarrenTownHall.

Donald Trump pressured a foreign government to interfere in our election. He undermined our diplomatic relationships and put our national security at risk. He exploits our government for his personal gain—and Republicans just voted to protect him.
These are hard times. People are frustrated and angry—but we must not be discouraged. Now more than ever, we must choose courage and hope over fear. Now is our moment to fight back. We have defeated corruption before, and we will do it again.
We can defeat Donald Trump and root out corruption in Washington. We can defeat his hate and bigotry, and build a country of our best values. We can make sure our country works for everyone, not just his wealthy, well-connected cronies. And we can only do it together.

Donald Trump was impeached for pressuring a foreign government to interfere in our election. That's why I'm not at his #SOTU tonight—I'm with voters in New Hampshire, talking about how we're going to make our government work for them.
These are hard times for our country. Tomorrow it looks like Republicans will continue to protect an out-of-control president rather than uphold the Constitution. #SOTU
But the character of our country—and the state of our union—aren’t determined by Trump. They’re determined by our people, and we’re stronger than Donald Trump. Now more than ever, we must choose courage and hope over fear. #SOTU

CMS released details today on their latest attempt to undermine #Medicaid. It's called the Health Adult Opportunity (HAO) Program. The euphemism filled "fact sheet" they posted is designed to obscure the purpose & consequences of HAO. Let me break it down. shar.es/a3O5J7
Notice that the "opportunity" here is for states. The emphasis is on giving states "flexibility"--something they already have an immense amount of when it comes to #Medicaid. Beneficiaries are not explicitly mentioned until the end of the intro paragraph, barely an afterthought.
Flexibility is mentioned 8 times in this short fact sheet. It sounds harmless enough, so what is the big deal? Well, look at what the flexibility will be used for. Most of these things represent additional burdens on Medicaid beneficiaries or reductions to the Medicaid program.

@CommunitySols @OhioMedicaid TY to my @CommunitySols colleague @lorenanthes for editing our comments, it was a huge task, and thanks to everyone who helped inform these comments
@CommunitySols @OhioMedicaid You can follow my thread for a few of the @Communitysols recommendations that jumped out at me; the state selection of new managed care plans provides a great opportunity to advance sound, cost-effective policies that maintain access and improve quality

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.
