NOT๐Ÿ‘MESSING๐Ÿ‘AROUND๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘Š The knockout from @AFPAction across five battleground Senate races. ๐Ÿ“ข When families are worried about bills and prices, the answer isnโ€™t socialism and more government control. Itโ€™s freedom, choice, and an economy that actually works for people. Read more: thehill.com/homenews/campaigโ€ฆ

Broski had such a catastrophic news cycle he completely abandoned policy & attempted to "cool guy" it with an "Evil Taylor Swift" eras reference... Yep, I'm lost too. When your socialist platform is polling lower than a third-party protest vote, I guess it's hard to just *shake it off. (Yep...I did.)
Abdul El-Sayed has had such a bad news cycle this week that he is now talking about Taylor Swift songs

AHA says Elevanceโ€™s push for accurate off-campus billing could force hospitals to stop providing outpatient care. Genuinely impressed by how quickly they went from โ€œwe donโ€™t do thisโ€ to โ€œif we donโ€™t do this we canโ€™t operate.โ€ healthcaredive.com/news/elevโ€ฆ

This was really fun, and special! A great round up of chatting America's 250th with members of Congress. Watch here:
In this episode of American Potential, host @davidfrom welcomes back @KR_Bledsoe and @LaStewartSays to share conversations with members of Congress about Americaโ€™s 250th anniversary, the World Cup, American innovation, and the future of the country. Katelyn and Lauren share highlights from their latest Media Row, where lawmakers reflected on what makes their home states unique, their favorite American innovations, and the principles they believe have helped America succeed over the past 250 years. They also discuss what it will take to carry those principles forward for another 250 years. The conversation also turns to the Working Families Tax Cut, the cost of living, and what lawmakers are hearing from their constituents about taxes, healthcare, housing, permitting reform, and other challenges facing American families. From celebrating Americaโ€™s past to debating the policies shaping its future, Katelyn and Lauren give listeners a look inside their conversations with lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

President Trump and @SecKennedy bonded over the mutual desire to get BIG things done against the dark, pernicious, corrupt forces of the status quo in DC. And that is happening. If someone canโ€™t admit that the past two have seen unprecedented positive cultural and policy momentum to improve our food system and address the root cause of disease, they have a cognitive impairment where their brains are not able to separate political bias from reality. And this momentum is showing incredible results. This admin has overseen: โœ…the largest growth in U.S. life expectancy ever. โœ…the first decline in obesity in modern history. โœ…an 8% increase in real food purchases. โœ… ultraprocessed company stocks underperforming the S&P by 60% because Americans are buying less of it.

You don't catch me applauding health insurers often... BUT - Credit where it's due: @ElevanceHealth is getting ahead of a new federal requirement & taking steps now to curb dishonest hospital billing practices that drive up costs. More transparency. More accountability. Lower costs for patients. My take here - americansforprosperity.org/bโ€ฆ

Where good policy benefits the patient, the provider and the industry. @ElevanceHealthโ€™s President of Health Care solutions commends Congress & this administration on their actions to advance SITE Neutral billing. Beyond commending these actions, Elevance is implementing them ahead of when the law requires. Why? Because it saves patients dollars. Same service, same fee - regardless of where the care is administered is commen sense. & itโ€™s good for patients AND industry. See the announcement here - elevancehealth.com/newsroom/โ€ฆ

During the Democratizing Care panel at the #MAHA summit panelists all agree that using provider directed AI as a tool will drive more personalized care, better health outcomes & lower costs. Health care in real time is here and itโ€™s very exciting.

Rest in peace, patriot โค๏ธ
Our hearts are broken to announce the passing of our beloved friend and colleague Raul Espinoza who was involved in a car wreck yesterday. We have never known a more loving Dad, devoted husband, loyal friend, or ardent patriot. We will miss him terribly.

One simple message: If you're worried whether Medicare will be there for you in old age, we will double the life expectancy of the trust fund just by taking the fraud out of the system.

I'm so thrilled to see Kamala hitting the trail for Dems. Truly THRILLED.

Kamala Harris hitting the trail for Abdul El-Sayed should put to rest any confusion about where @TheDemocrats are headed. ๐Ÿค• Govt run health care that puts bureaucracy first, not patients. ๐Ÿซฐ Higher costs to fund their progressive wish list. ๐Ÿ›‘ Less freedom because the govt (them) "knows better" than you. Michigan voters knew not to fall for this in 2024 & they know now. #MISen
Kamala Harris: โ€œThe attack on DEI is an attack on maternal care. An attack on DEIโ€ฆโ€ *Dramatic Pause* โ€œโ€ฆto recognize diversity, equity, and inclusion is an attack by definition on maternal care.โ€ Iโ€™m sure this stuff sounds genius in her head ๐Ÿคฃ

For far too long, rampant fraud in the taxpayer-funded ACA has been treated as the cost of doing business. Kudos to @VP, @HHSgov, and the administration for taking this problem seriously and restoring accountability. Fraud doesn't just waste taxpayer dollars, it undermines care for the truly vulnerable Americans these programs are meant to serve. Fixing it isn't partisan. It's common sense.
"To put into context the amount of money that we're stopping from going to fraudsters today, the average American child receives about $4,000 in health care benefits every single year. That means that we are saving 550,000 American children's worth of health care that was going to fraudsters." - VP Vance ๐Ÿ”ฅ

VP Vance on rampant Obamacare fraud: "We found a fraud ring that had 40 brokerage agents who had funneled 50,000 people into the Obamacare system fraudulently...Many of those people quite literally didn't even exist. We had a system in this country that rewarded brokers, that made people rich for enrolling fake people in programs that are meant to ensure that our fellow citizens have health care. This was a scandal."
