For the million people who get this letter--this is LIFE-CHANGING. I cannot describe the feeling of being able to worry less about medical bankruptcy & more about getting better, paying for food, rent, school, etc. This would have never happened under Kari Lake. Elections matter.

Want the same healthcare as your US senator? In France, Germany, & Japan, you could. In those nations, everyone's in the same private, non-profit health insurers. Their laws don't allow managed care, HMOs, networks or referrals. Any patient sees any doctor. We can do the same.

House Oversight leadership asking federal agencies their thoughts about which regulations they've issued could be challenged in the wake of #SCOTUS overturning #Chevron is an insanely weird flex. They're seriously asking "tell us all the things we can take you to court for." šŸ¤¦šŸæā€ā™€ļø

Overnight, the Senate passed a partisan budget that lays a path for taking food assistance & health coverage away from people & making college more expensive -- to pay for defense & deportation funding &, later, costly tax cuts for the wealthy. cbpp.org/press/statemen…
