Taking health coverage away from people through Medicaid cuts will not only harm people and families, but also hospitals and, therefore, entire communities. #ProtectMedicaid Take action today: bit.ly/protect-medica… 🗞️ via VPM vpm.org/news/2025-05-0…

Federal uncertainty makes our state work even more critical. The progress we made this #VaLeg session highlights the power of the #VaBudget, what we can accomplish together, and how continued collaboration can impact our future. More in our recap⤵️ thecommonwealthinstitute.org/tci_blog/how-v…

Recent U.S. House committee choices would take away food & #HealthCare from #Virginia families. Thank you to those who said no. As the bill moves toward a full House vote, we call on all Va. Congressmembers to oppose this bill. #ProtectMedicaid #SaveSNAP thecommonwealthinstitute.org/tci_news/u-s-h…

TCI's Ashley Kenneth joined Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, Protect Our Care VA & others to discuss the latest fed proposal that'll take #HealthCare away from many in Virginia. Our fight doesn't end here. We will do everything we can to stop the attack on people’s health & well-being. #ProtectMedicaid

As House Republicans work to advance their bill to the floor, their agenda couldn’t be clearer: stripping health care & food assistance away from millions & raising families’ costs— while showering ever larger tax breaks on the wealthiest. My statement: cbpp.org/press/statemen…

The House GOP plan would exclude an estimated 87,000 U.S. citizen & lawfully residing children in Virginia from the #ChildTaxCredit by requiring both parents (if married) to have an SSN for their child to get the CTC. Taking funds from kids is not okay. cmsny.org/publications/n…

"This disastrous bill would mean that hundreds of thousands of Virginians lose access to health care & food for their families...many more will see their health costs go up," said TCI's Ashley Kenneth We urge people to contact their Congressmembers thecommonwealthinstitute.org/tci_news/state…

The U.S. House’s bill “aims to: - increase admin burden - cut critical $ needed to operate programs - terminate millions of people’s vital benefits - impose new & strict work reqs - punish states that attempt to fill the gaps to protect communities.” richmond.com/opinion/column…

When you're already paid too little to afford private health insurance, a new co-pay could become a barrier to accessing #HealthCare. More from TCI's Freddy Mejia on one of several U.S. House-passed bill provisions that could keep people from getting the care they need ⤵️

We've summarized key #HealthCare, food assistance (#SNAP), and tax impacts of the bill that House leadership pushed through. But to sum it up even more: It's not good. Take action today: bit.ly/protect-medica… thecommonwealthinstitute.org/tci_research/v…

Many are teeing this up again. We're all for flipping our #UpsideDownTaxCode to help people afford the basics. But why pick & choose which low-paid workers benefit? There are more effective & targeted tax choices, e.g. #EITC, #CommonwealthKidsCredit wvtf.org/news/2025-06-1…

BREAKING: ⁦TCI⁩ releases report on the devastating impact of the House GOP’s bill, calling for “Congress [to] reject these harmful choices and instead work to strengthen programs like Medicaid and SNAP that strengthen our families.” thecommonwealthinstitute.org/tci_research/v…

Medicaid helps keep people healthy enough to work or care for others. Work requirement proposals add paperwork to what most are already doing and take away #HealthCare from many, making it harder to be healthy and go to work. Make it make sense. thecommonwealthinstitute.org/tci_research/l…

While the richest in Virginia would get huge tax handouts, people w/ the lowest incomes would see an average $100. Many may also lose their #HealthCare. “Would you rather have health care or $100?" Freddy 🇸🇻🇺🇸 asked. "The clear answer would be access to health coverage.”

Immigrants, with & w/out documentation, play vital roles in our communities and economy. Our new report (bit.ly/at-risk-virgin…) highlights the harm that forcibly removing community members en masse can have on our economy & key industries in #Virginia h/t Immigration Research Initiative

New summary of key impacts from the reconciliation bill. ⤵️ For #Virginia families who need help accessing health coverage and healthy food, the changes are alarming. But it’s important to remember that most changes won’t take effect right away. thecommonwealthinstitute.org/tci_research/v…
