The CFPB’s move to scrap the medical debt rule punishes patients for seeking care, harming millions while only benefiting the broken industries and systems that put profits over people. Read CQC's statement. ⤵️ app.sosha.ai/s/Xk413a1o app.sosha.ai/s/Xk413a1o

In exchange for massive tax breaks, nonprofit hospitals are supposed to provide charity care. But the Lown Institute's latest report shows that's not happening. Many nonprofit hospitals are shirking their duties. #HospitalFail app.sosha.ai/s/iKl6hE89 app.sosha.ai/s/iKl6hE89

Any medical debt relief for consumers is welcome. But even better would be a system that doesn't stick more than 300,000 people (in one county) with nearly half a billion dollars of medical debt. app.sosha.ai/s/uknbOy8h app.sosha.ai/s/uknbOy8h

Thank you so much to all the dedicated workers at USAID. Today was the last official day of USAID as an independent agency. It is a sad day for America. Your work mattered. You saved lives. Thank you. #gratitude nytimes.com/2025/06/30/us/…

I am incredibly disheartened by the Senate's passing of the reconciliation bill. Millions of hardworking Americans will lose their health coverage because of this bill, while billionaires get tax breaks. app.sosha.ai/s/XDd00awW
