Time for a proper #Introduction:
I'm a #healthcare policy analyst, advocate and blogger who focuses primarily on the #ACA (#AffordableCareAct), but I also write about #Medicaid, #CHIP and a lot of other U.S. healthcare system stuff. Last year I also gained some attention for #COVID19 data analysis.
During election season I also raise money online for #Democratic candidates.
You can follow my work (& even support it!) at https://ACASignups.net.
Thanks for your thread about political fund raising groups on Twitter today. https://x.com/charles_gaba/status/1770530950683697546?s=20
I've a question. Is ActBlue a fund raising platform only for Dem candidates? Or, is there an ActRed, and ActClimateCrisis, etc. too?
🧵 People have asked me why I started an organized project to raise money *directly* for Democratic candidates up & down the ballot when there's already so many other organizations out there doing this. There's a couple of reasons. 1/
@tutormentor1 ActBlue exclusively platforms Democrats and (in cases of nonpartisan offices) candidates who affirm that they’re “Dem-leaning” as well as self-described progressive organizations.
Obviously there’s no guarantee that they’re not lying about their political leanings, but…
