Half a century ago, the U.S. did not spend way more than other countries on health care. The gap has widened over time, and we don't necessarily get better health for it.

NEW REPORT: Without enhanced subsidies, a focus group of Texans with current #ACA health insurance say they'll have to choose between coverage & basics like rent & food for 2026. episcopalhealth.org/enews/wh… #HealthNotJustHealthCare #ACA

SNAP does more than fight hunger. Research from @PennLDI shows it improves health, lowers hospitalizations & reduces costs. Food policy is health policy & programs like #SNAP help Texans stay well. ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/resea… #HealthNotJustHealthCare #FoodIsHealth

"Lack of insurance does not prevent illness. Making the Affordable Care Act unaffordable for a million Texans will not save taxpayers money, only change how society pays for it," writes @cltomlinson. #HealthNotJustHealthCare houstonchronicle.com/busines… via @houstonchron
