Health care fight in numbers:
Democrats want to spend about $1.5T more than Republicans over the next decade.
That’s <2% of projected federal spending.
Extending the expiring ACA credits alone — the bottom line for many Ds — is $350B over a decade, or 0.4% of federal spending.

🧾 DC’s budget is being finalized, and it still includes $0 for housing chronically homeless single adults.
In this year’s Point In Time Count, 1,430 single adults reported being chronically homeless. That number has gone up from last year.
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) is a proven, effective solution. The Mayor’s proposed budget included $0 for PSH for single adults, and the first Council vote did not change that.
DC shelters are full. People are timing into chronic status every day. Without housing, where are they supposed to go?
📣 Tell the Council to fund PSH now.

GOP Sen. Shelley Moore Capito of WV told me there is "a lot of concern" among her constituents about cuts to Medicaid in House bill. Said she heard concerns at meetings over recess.
Also said: “We haven't had a chance to digest how it's going to impact our hospitals.”

Did you know that Thanksgiving is also National Family Health History Day? Thanksgiving is all about the gathering of family, and many times it involves family that usually isn't in the same place at the same time. 1/2

People who didn't use the individual market pre-ACA often weren't aware of how much of a fine-toothed comb the insurers used to avoid risk. It was common for people to learn about this only when they left an employer's plan & needed to get their own coverage for the first time.
Rebecca Davis retweeted
No population wide insurance will work in a market where there is no transparency.
The games the big insurers play have nothing to do with insurance or wellness. They make approving and paying every claim a battle for providers and sponsors.
There is reason providers charge less to cash payers than they do to their largest payers - the payers have significantly higher administrative and implementation costs.
Require every contract to be published and the market becomes efficient and care costs drop significantly
