Medicaid isn't broken. The moral compass of those trying to cut it is.

"Cost of meds without Medicaid: $10K. My monthly income: $780.” The math ain’t mathing! We can’t let Congress gut Medicaid—a lifeline for 80 MILLION of us. Care is a RIGHT, not a privilege. Demand NO cuts to Medicaid! 👉🏿 popdemoc.org/yestocare #HandsOffMedicaid #MedicareForAll – at Washington, DC

Medicare Advantage is a liar and a cheat, and we're ending it.💔

"I DON'T KNOW" - RFK Jr., when asked if women facing life-threatening pregnancies have federally protected rights to emergency care in abortion ban states. Can't grasp basic health protections OR potential responsibilities OR articulate his position? Should be disqualified.

It's the bosses refusal to pay striking workers that's ruining these luxury trips. And that's a lesson in how workers power workplaces and deserve to get paid accordingly.

No filmmaker, writer or artist should ever have to tell the story of their own extermination. Yet 22 courageous Palestinian filmmakers found a way to film their story this past year in Gaza using whatever tools they could pull from the rubble of their homes and cities. The extraordinary film FROM GROUND ZERO — for which I am proud to be an Executive Producer — is the collection of these short films, told all together in under 2 hours. The fact that this film exists at all is a human and cinematic miracle. Go see FROM GROUND ZERO — in theaters now!

NEW: Private health insurance corporations are trying to trick seniors across America into signing up for Medicare Advantage. Is it less expensive? No. Is it better coverage? Also no. It’s just another way for corporations to skim more money off the ill.

A trans person didn’t deny your health insurance claim, a giant corporation did. An asylum seeker didn’t raise your rent, a billionaire’s private equity firm did. Our focus must be taking on the billionaires & corporate greed.

Skyrocketing housing costs. A broken health care system. A decaying media. And now, the downfall of Red Lobster. They can all be tied back to one thing: private equity. Here's what you need to know about the industry that's getting rich by making everything it touches worse.
