Trump said the new White House ballroom/bunker would be “taxpayer-free.” The Washington Post just found the contractor’s own internal estimate: $600M total, with taxpayers covering more than half. While they cut YOUR healthcare. Priorities.

Hey @ctphealthcare and @drkristinlyerly excited to kick off the organizing with all of you and learn more about the state of the healthcare fight we're in!
Proud to kick off @ctphealthcare’s first annual Organizing Summit in Chicago with fellow Board Chair @0MaxCooper0. The most dynamic physician-advocates in the country — all here, together. Healthcare is under attack. We’re here to fight back.

I got back to my office after the vote tonight and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened tonight. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

The #NoKings protests are about a lot of things to a lot of people. What I can do is continue to fight the medical disinformation coming from @SecKennedy and the massive cuts in healthcare coming from @realDonaldTrump. @ctphealthcare

ACA Premium Tax Credits make health care affordable for 20M+ people. If they expire, millions won’t be able to get care. Join us in urging Congress to make health care tax credits permanent & repeal the Medicaid cuts they passed in July: commcat.io/467vrRn #CareNotCuts

ICYMI: RFK Jr. and the Trump administration have ordered an FDA re-review of mifepristone, also known as abortion medication — even though it's been approved for 25 years — opening the door for the safe, effective medication to be banned. thehill.com/newsletters/heal…

It was such a joy to talk with Senator Murphy yesterday about how much Medicaid means to my patients and why I’m committed to protecting their access - he GETS IT!
My organization, the American Mobilization Project, is funding a group of doctors and nurses organizing against Trump's Medicaid cuts. I was supposed to be with them in Michigan today as they phone bank Senators, but I'm stuck in DC. So I called their leaders to say thanks.

@ChrisMurphyCT thanks for recognizing the critical work we're doing raising awareness around @realDonaldTrump s planned Medicaid cuts. Make no mistake, these cuts will destroy our critical access and rural hospitals.

As the ED of @ctphealthcare, I’m proud to be working with AMP and @ChrisMurphyCT. As an EP for half of my life, I’m proud to be standing with thousands of my fellow physicians around the country to defend #Medicaid and the patients and communities who depend upon it.
Replying to @ChrisMurphyCT
3/ A taste of what we are doing: We formed a $200,000 partnership with the Committee to Protect Health Care. They organize doctors and nurses to fight the Medicaid cuts in key states. Already, 4,000 doctors have signed up to take action.

🎧 NEW: Dr. Oz said that people need to "prove" they "matter" to get #Medicaid. Listen to Dr. Rob and Miles Baker discuss the absurdity of his statement below and tune into Paging America for more unfiltered truth from frontline physicians. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

Thanks for placing private equity protections front and center @GovernorShapiro Lets be clear, all of #Delco is suffering because my hospital #Crozer was driven into the ground by #PrivateEquity It didn't need to be this way, and we can't let it happen again
Private equity is responsible for this. That’s why I’m calling on Democrats and Republicans to work together to reform the role of private equity in our health care system – and ensure this can never happen again.

📍PITTSBURGH - #HandsOff2025 Everyone deserves good jobs, reliable services, and a fair economy. Trump, Musk, and their billionaire buddies are destroying livelihoods, gutting public resources, and driving up costs just to pad their own pockets.
