THREAD: @USofCare State Policy Agenda #3 (1/7) 
The coming months will prove challenging for people trying to access affordable care, both for those who contract #COVID19 and those who lose coverage through job loss. (2/7)
Americans' concerns over health care affordability are nothing new. In times like these, states like New Jersey are drafting legislation to prohibit out-of-pocket costs for #COVID19, while others move to prevent surprise billing. These efforts can be replicated nationwide. (3/7)
To help people maintain social distance/stay healthy, states NEED to ensure affordable telehealth coverage for everyone on private and public plans. Massachusetts and @buoyhealth have created a tool to remotely screen for #Covid19, protecting the public from further spread (4/7)
States can help people avoid unnecessary disruptions in their care and coverage. Some states like Alabama have been working to extend postpartum coverage for new mothers for up to one-year, which is more important than ever (5/7)
Those who need life-saving insulin are even more vulnerable, especially as they may be more likely to have severe complications from #Covid19. States like Minnesota are setting a nationwide example by offering free 30 day supplies of insulin to residents (6/7)
In every state coast-to-coast, front line workers risk their lives to serve our immediate needs. In doing so, all states should further consider expanding workers’ compensation coverage, much like executive orders taking place in North Dakota bit.ly/2L79rvA (7/7)
