Trump's “big, beautiful bill” would explode the U.S. uninsured rate. In rural Louisiana, where Medicaid expansion has been a lifeline, the cuts would be "historic in their devastation.” NEW from Public Health Watch & Shalina Chatlani/Stateline || bsky @stateline.org: publichealthwatch.org/2025/07/03/med…

Over 11.8M could lose #healthcare as Donald J. Trump's #bigbeautifulbill would cut $1T from #Medicaid over the next decade. People in the Delta say – national leaders are completely out of touch with the reality of what it’s like to live in rural America. stateline.org/2025/07/03/med…

When I was at Delta Health Center, Inc in rural MS a month ago looking at health care in the rural south, I saw this article from the Boston Globe in the 1960s. *This* is how doctors and politicians framed health care then... Now close to 12 million could lose their Medicaid.

House Speaker Mike Johnson just rammed through massive cuts to Medicare. 40% of his constituents rely on it, and we went to talk to them.

U.S. House passes Trump's tax bill, which mostly benefits the rich & cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid. Experts say the cuts will devastate rural places. Residents are worried, scared & angry. “They want to do stuff for the rich people that’s already rich.” publichealthwatch.org/2025/07/03/med…

The effects of this big stupid bill will be devastating for so many people in Louisiana. This is not debatable. (This article made me cry several times.)#lalege

A day after the Texas floods, FEMA laid off hundreds of call-center workers. Then, records show, the agency did not answer thousands of calls to its disaster assistance line.

Of course it’s a public health emergency: 100 unnecessary hospitalizations in my state of Texas + 2 needless deaths in perfectly healthy school aged children whose parents bought the antivaccine disinformation. Now 6X rise in pertussis cases nationwide. And it’s just beginning
