As Audrey Dutton reports, since banning abortion, Idaho has dismantled support systems for pregnancies and births. She writes,
"Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, the state’s GOP-led Legislature has disbanded a maternal mortality committee, failed to expand postpartum Medicaid coverage and turned down federal grants for child care."
#Idaho Banned #Abortion. Then It Turned Down Supports for Pregnancies and Births.
Since the #SupremeCourt overturned Roe v. Wade last year, the state’s GOP-led Legislature has disbanded a maternal mortality committee, failed to expand postpartum #Medicaid coverage and turned down federal grants for child care.
When I did screenprinting noticed some plastic containers made the paint go bad while others did not… which made me wonder what the difference was in the plastic containers
Non-stick pans are all bad as even tho chemicals have been banned, only slight changes have been made to the chemicals on new non-sticks #cancer#carcinogenic
As I told the pharmacy clerk when he was surprised I didn’t have insurance while outfitted in a #microclimateAir2 +😷 & said “clearly I like to live on the edge” & gestured at my👩🏼🚀
God forbid I need it, pay out of pocket
My spouse has insurance through work but adding me was astronomical
Here is some food for thought:
The rate of unexplained infant deaths (SIDS) is 35% higher in male infants in states that have Medicaid funding for infant circumcision. In these states, circumcision rates are 50% higher. Death rates in girls do not show similar disparities.
So why are Maine Democrats trying to get circumcision added back to Medicaid? To kill more boys?
Based on these data, it's estimated that 200 to 400 babies are killed by their circumcision each year in the United States. Circumcision has no health benefits and is a violation of the child's right to bodily integrity.
Please consider contacting your #Maine state senator to tell them that you don't want your tax dollars being used to kill boys. Tell them to vote no on covering circumcision with #MaineCare, Maine's version of #Medicaid. Save lives and stop genital cutting.
LOL. You'll see why #ACA entered a rule that certain #Medicaid work earnings to caregivers are not taxable.
IRS notice 2014-7.
Under a 2020 court case, those non-taxable earnings are still eligible as ssa earning work credits, tax credits, eic, etc.
A person, unaware, working for the gov trying to navigate benefits review told my wife that #Obamacare messed everything up (when trying to determine public benefits.)
Without missing a beat, my wife said, 'not for us.'
"Walmart surprises with industry-leading change to wages"
Walmart's surprise is that it is lowering its starting wage by $1 this year.
A 2020 US Government Accountability Office study of data from six states found Walmart was a top employer of Medicaid [healthcare subsidies] enrollees and a top employer of SNAP [food subsidies] recipients.
Walmart's business model relies on corporate welfare while its employees work full time and struggle to pay for food and healthcare.
Employees need to surprise Walmart with a union ASAP.
How Health Insurers Have Made Appealing Denials So Complicated
"I spoke with more than 50 insurance experts, patients, lawyers, physicians and consumer advocates about building a tool anyone could use to navigate insurance appeals.
"Nearly everyone said the same thing: Great idea. But almost impossible to do."
Dems must fill media platforms with truth-telling, fact-checking & positivity about their party's achievements & plans: Following Musk’s lead, Youtube & FB are giving up on policing conspiracy theories. SM companies are receding from their role as watchdogs against pol misinfo -trend expected to profoundly affect the 2024 pres. election. In a sign of Musk’s influence, Meta briefly considered a plan last year to ban all pol advertising on FB-then shelved it. #GOPCorruptionhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/08/25/political-conspiracies-facebook-youtube-elon-musk/
@KimPerales OK but this is all happening on Biden’s watch, just like losing reproductive rights, and the fact that we have more #Covid being pooped out by Americans this week then we did the same week in 2020.
Gas prices around here are brutal again, nobody can afford food, everyone’s getting kicked off #Medicaid because he couldn’t even bother firing #DeJoy from the post office so nobody’s getting their paperwork in on time.
The world is burning and he ordered more drilling.
but yeah, what American needs right now is more paid propaganda circulating on social media telling us how well we are all doing because of #Bidenomics. That’ll fix it
Patients are facing critical shortages of widely used generic drugs including chemotherapy drugs. So Congress has been focused on how to address these drug shortages. But a draft House drug shortages bill includes a #Medicaid provision exempting manufacturers from having to pay rebates on certain of their generic drugs raises a lot of concerns. My new Georgetown CCF blog post explains: https://ccf.georgetown.edu/2023/08/23/medicaid-provision-of-draft-house-drug-shortages-bill-raises-concerns/
"In the last three months, 4 million people have lost their Medicaid coverage, mostly because of paperwork problems. (Texas dropped an eye-popping 52% of beneficiaries due for renewal in May.)"
"Biden officials have tried to pressure states quietly to fix the errors—including long waits to get phone calls answered and slow processing of applications, as well as paperwork errors—but yesterday released letters it had sent to individual states to warn them they might be violating federal law. Thirty-six states did not meet federal requirements."
