From Arise's @robynhyden:
Today I joined @RepTerriSewell to say that terminating Medicaid coverage will terminate people who rely on this life-saving care. The prenatal care that saved my life and my son’s life could be at risk for thousands of Alabams moms and babies.

"This bill threatens those protections by allowing the sale of health plans that are not required to cover essential health benefits… and can discriminate against individuals with pre-existing conditions, including cancer." tinyurl.com/56kaddn2 #alpol @ALReflector

Alabama Arise and @CoverAlabama joined with the @ACSCAN_Alabama to host a Medicaid Expansion Advocacy Day last week. Nearly 100 passionate supporters spoke out in defense of Medicaid and the urgent need to close Alabama’s health coverage gap#alpolitics youtube.com/watch?v=KuBRxvso…

"People are suffering and dying. Hospitals are closing. Alabama is losing billions of dollars that could have been invested in our health care system,” Smith said. tinyurl.com/332npn2k @ALDailyNews #ExpandMedicaidAL

Their health care cuts would take #Medicaid coverage and benefits away from potentially millions of people and shift huge costs onto states – when states don’t fill in those gaps, even more ppl will lose coverage. cbpp.org/research/health/med…

“Jackson Hospital plays a vital role in ensuring that community members have access to essential health services. Medicaid expansion would be a game-changer, strengthening hospitals across the state.” #ExpandMedicaidAL @ALDailyNews @CoverAlabama tinyurl.com/29z6uhmd

Expanding Medicaid could help keep labor and delivery units open by improving hospitals’ overall finances. Tell your lawmaker to expand Medicaid to protect mothers and babies. #alpolitics #CoverAlabama

Appalling. Let’s do better, Alabama!
"In Alabama, for example, people are only eligible for Medicaid if they earn at or below 18% of the federal poverty line, about $4,678 a year for a three-person household," @chatlanis reports in the @ALReflector. #alpolitics #CoverAlabama alabamareflector.com/2024/07…

.@AlabamaArise members pushed us to deepen our work on health equity to go beyond access and to support additional policies to improve maternal and infant health. After spending 3 months in the NICU with my son, I learned a lot about what happens when labor and delivery go wrong.
"Little did I know that what I was learning about maternal and infant health would soon affect me personally. At a routine 28-week checkup, I was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia, one of the leading causes of maternal death," Arise's @robynhyden writes. alarise.org/blog-posts/mater…

Alabama has an obtainable, feasible solution to drastically improve health outcomes and support working families, prevent loss of services and hospital closures, and boost labor participation rates #alpolitics #ClosetheCoverageGap
