"The stakes are impossibly high. For countless people, the healthcare they need to survive and thrive is on the line. If we fail here, the impact will be felt by families across the nation—especially those who are already vulnerable.

This fight is about dignity. It’s about the fundamental right to healthcare. It’s about ensuring that everyone, no matter their income, no matter where they live, has access to the care they need."

"We understand the instinct to tune out. This last election was crushing, and every day brings an onslaught of offenses from this White House. Chasing each and every word and action of this president can be exhausting, so instead, focus on whether members of Congress acquiesce to or push back against his demands..."
