Retweet and show your support for HB 57 and SB 215, which would bring more transparency and consistency to parole decisions in Alabama. #ParolesAreImportant #alpolitics

As expected Secretary Xavier Becerra has extended the public health emergency for another 90 days. The PHE expires now on July 15th. That means we will know May 15th if the PHE will extend again since the Biden Administration has promised to give 60 days notice. aspr.hhs.gov/legal/PHE/Page…

The economic benefit of expanding Medicaid is clear. Individuals, businesses and communities would thrive. #medicaidexpansion #coveralabama #alpolitics

Huh. The compartments into which I usually compartmentalize world events so I can keep moving forward seem to have reached capacity.

Investments in #publictransit will bring strong benefits to people across Alabama. That’s why Arise and 81 partners wrote to lawmakers today asking them to allocate $20M of #AmericanRescuePlan funds to public transportation. Our news release: alarise.org/news-releases/… #alpolitics

Hi, just a reminder in case folks haven’t heard… expanding Medicaid will NOT lead to proration or across the board cuts. Expanding Medicaid costs $225 million annually but SAVES about $400 million annually. #alpolitics parcalabama.org/the-economic-i…

Much love to our friends in South Dakota as they continue their work on expanding Medicaid on Novembers ballot. Did you know that Medicaid expansion has a 100% approval record on every ballot referendum? No state has voted against it. No state has reversed it.

Nothing says 'I love you' like giving the gift of access to quality healthcare. Tell your lawmakers to close the coverage gap! p2a.co/5BquGnA #LoveThyNeighbor #CoverAlabama

The uncompensated care crisis referenced in the mental health presentation, as well as in this one, cannot be addressed without Medicaid expansion. 15 rural hospitals are currently at risk of closure-this year- because of it. #coveralabama wsfa.com/2023/02/15/ala…
