According to @NavigatorSurvey, 51% of Americans are really concerned about Donald Trump’s pledge to end Medicare’s ability to negotiate for #LowerDrugPricesNow. Share this if you’re worried, too.

Some hospitals are starting to charge "facility fees" to patients that have NEVER set foot in the hospital. Some states - including Colorado, Connecticut, and New York - have already banned the practice and others are considering doing so. READ MORE: stateline.org/2024/04/25/you…
Texas may soon require doctors to try to transfer patients to a different facility BEFORE attempting a LIFE-SAVING abortion. Yes, you read that right. Here's more info: texastribune.org/2024/04/25/tex…
Every Dem & a few Reps in the AZ House pushed through a repeal of the state’s Civil War-era #AbortionBan. Several were immediately punished by GOP leadership. If this is how they treat their colleagues, is it really surprising they want to punish women? thehill.com/homenews/state…

Know the viral conversation about whether it’s safer to walk alone in the woods with a man or a bear? ONE thing to consider-if you’re attacked by a bear, your doctor doesn’t have to worry about being jailed for providing all of the emergency care you need. statnews.com/2024/04/24/sup…
Senator @BernieSanders & the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions committee are investigating why Americans are charged more for weight loss drugs Ozempic & Wegovy than people in other countries. Sen Sanders is demanding lower prices for patients who need these medicines.
Are anti-abortion centers misleading patients about their privacy protections? Yesterday, a group asked five state attorneys general to investigate. READ MORE: nbcnews.com/health/health-…
A new study by the American Economic Review found that the unchecked mergers of hospitals are “a significant factor in rising health costs.” Federal regulators must do a better job of enforcing antitrust laws.
In Idaho, doctors & hospitals are barred from performing abortions unless the patient is about to die. Today, the Biden Administration is arguing to #SCOTUS that federal law requires states to allow abortion care in other emergency situations too. MORE: npr.org/sections/healt…
Vice-President Harris on the new rules supporting nursing home patients and staff: “This is about dignity, and it’s about dignity that we as a society owe to those in particular who care for the least of these” READ MORE: apnews.com/article/nursin…
Today, the Biden Administration announced that - for the 1st time - nursing homes must have a minimum # of qualified staff working at all times. The new rules will also require facilities taking taxpayer $$ to spend at least 80% on worker salaries - not administration or profits.
The Biden Administration announced new rules that will protect trans students and sexual abuse survivors.
A report from the U.S. Senate Finance Committee found that several Republican state attorneys general used abusive or misleading legal demands to collect the medical records of transgender patients.
Republicans in the New Hampshire state house pushed through a bill ENDING the requirement that children in childcare facilities be vaccinated for polio and measles. When did freedom become the ability to infect other people’s children with debilitating diseases?
This week, #SCOTUS will hold hearings on several cases including one that will impact people who are homeless and another about #AbortionBans. READ MORE: usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Know of companies that are using monopoly practices to drive up healthcare costs? The Biden administration has launched an online portal that the general public can use to report them. Go to HealthyCompetition.gov to learn more.
Don't let anyone tell you we "can't afford" Social Security and Medicare. Don't let anyone tell you the rich "can't afford" to pay their fair share. When we tax the rich, we can protect and expand our earned benefits for ALL generations.
Next week, #SCOTUS will hold hearings on whether #EMTALA - the federal law that requires hospitals to provide care in emergencies - supersedes state #AbortionBans.

The Affordable Care Act was a landmark achievement, and policymakers should build on its successes to help ensure affordable, comprehensive health coverage for all Americans. americanprogress.org/article/14-yea…
The Trump tax cuts—which were skewed toward the rich and corporations—cost us $2 trillion. A 2% tax on millionaires and 3% tax on billionaires would RAISE $3 trillion—which we could use to fund education, childcare, and more. Which sounds like a smarter plan for the economy?

‼️ This is a HUGE win for the #Medicare drug negotiation program and for the millions who need and deserve affordable medications!
NEW: Federal court in Texas DISMISSES lawsuit brought by PhRMA and allies seeking to block implementation of Medicare drug negotiation program. Since key plaintiff in TX lacks ability to bring a claim under the Medicare Act, case can't be brought there litigationtracker.law.georgetown.edu/wp-content/upl…
A judge just THREW OUT PhRMA's lawsuit to stop Medicare from negotiating for #LowerDrugPricesNow. The rest of the #BigPharma corporations suing Medicare need to STOP suing and START negotiating.
AMERICANS SHOULDN'T BE PAYING THREE TIMES MORE THAN PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES FOR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS!!
Exciting to see movement on #Medicaid expansion in Alabama to improve workforce development and close the health care coverage gap! 🎉 aldailynews.com/alabama-lawmak…
At yesterday’s hearing, Republicans made one thing very clear: they will do everything they can to side with #BigPharma against #LowerDrugPricesNow.
Thank you @SenSanders for demanding answers from #BigPharma CEOs for the over-inflated price of Rx drugs. The ONLY reason that Americans are paying more for prescriptions than patients in other countries is Pharma greed.
We’re LIVE NOW to answer a simple question: Why does the U.S. pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs? I look forward to hearing from the CEOs of Johnson&Johnson, Merck and Bristol Meyers Squibb on this very serious issue. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
JUST RELEASED | New theme issue on #HousingAndHealth, including housing quality and insecurity, homelessness, health equity, and what policy interventions may successfully address challenges. Read the Editor's introduction and explore the full issue: hubs.la/Q02jV50b0
#BigPharma greed is out of control and patients are paying the (inflated) price.
There's no rational reason other than greed for Novo Nordisk to charge $12,000 a year for Ozempic in the United States while that same exact drug can be purchased for just $2,000 in Canada & $750 in Germany. It's time for the pharmaceutical industry to stop ripping off Americans.
It's 2024, and we're still doing this... #groundhogday
According to @SenSanders, #BigPharma giant Merck initially declined to have their CEO testify on drug prices because he isn’t an expert on the subject. He’s running a company that charges $5,8621.57 for a single dose of a cancer drug. It might sound like a joke, but it isn't.
Today, Medicare sent Big Pharma proposals to lower drug prices for the first time. Let the negotiations begin! lowerdrugpricesnow.org/press/cms-issu…
Amgen charges Americans more than TRIPLE for lifesaving Rheumatoid arthritis drug Enbrel than patients in other high-income countries. Thanks to President Biden, Medicare is now negotiating a lower price for Enbrel, which will reduce costs for seniors and taxpayers.
And we have to KEEP fighting for #LowerDrugPricesNow so that everyone, no matter their insurance or their zip code, can afford a trip to the pharmacy.
Life-saving prescription drugs don't do any good if patients can't afford them. That's why Democrats fought to lower prescription drug costs for seniors—saving patients money and making sure they can get and afford the health care they need.
