20M ppl can afford coverage thanks to enhanced Premium Tax Credits. But if Congress doesn’t act, these credits will expire, premiums will spike & families will lose coverage.

Healthcare cuts passed by Congress mean thousands of RIs will lose coverage. Protect Our Healthcare rallied w/Senator Reed & Whitehouse to fight back. "We must work together & not stop until everyone has access & our nation recognizes healthcare as a human right!" I. Irizarry

The Medicaid work requirement the House passed this morning is the strictest version of the policy that Congress has ever put forward.

Sen. Tillis calling out his fellow Republicans:
"What do I tell 663,000 people in two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid because the funding is not there anymore?"

16 million people. That’s 1 in every 21 people in the U.S. who will lose coverage under the U.S. House budget bill now up for debate in the Senate. Dial 866-426-2631 to tell RI Senators Reed & Whitehouse you support their fight to stop the termination of people's healthcare!

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen. washingtonpost.com/health/20…

Today the House passed a bill that drastically cuts #Medicaid and will lead to at least 8.6 million people losing health insurance. Health care costs will go up for many who remain insured.
But the fight isn't over yet. Urge your Senators to reject cuts: act.fightcancer.org/a/senato…
