"the Musk/Trump regime is waging against America's #health care...

"simultaneously increase toxins in our air, #food, & water."... gutting medical #research in "colleges & hospitals in every state." & they are aiming to kick millions—as many as 36 million of the hardest-working #Americans—off of #Medicaid"

"The war the Musk/Trump regime is waging against America's health care has not been contained to a single organ of our government. It is already metastasizing into every aspect of our lives.

They are working to 'simultaneously increase toxins in our air, food, and water.'"

@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote

@drsamzs This exactly. ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ And we aren’t small. There are millions who want to speak up but think they have to “go” to a protest. Every time any one of us stands up, we empower others. 🥰 Find protests that you would go to if you could. & echo their slogans. The media will not inform or connect us. Know of a protest or boycott comming up? Signal about that.

#AfternoonNotesToAmerica #RaiseYourVoice Show the GOP Democracy matters. Once a day for a minimum of 3 minutes, stand on your porch holding ANY simple 3 word sign. If your porch isn’t safe, project it on the side of a building, chalk it where it's legal, power wash it on sidewalks, take sticks & scratch it into the sand or dirt, slap stickers or scribble it on faded old yard sale signs on poles, call Congress, wear it on a shirt or printed on your grocery bag, slap a sticker on your backpack, KEEP IT LEGAL, BUT KEEP IT UP. - Under those words a stick figure surrounded by cats is holding a sign that says Stand with US!!!. the orange cat’s holding a sign that says meow, meow meow. The black cat is peeking in from the side with a thought bubble that says - Wanna help save lives & reach people in your community?* (* protest on your porch with us) The Maine coon just looks sweet and confuzzled and the grey cat with the white ruff just looks sweet and I added a puppy chewing on his WOOF WOOF WOOF! sign.
Protestors with signs that look like tombstones protesting the push by republicans to kill Medicaid, with words like : Bled out durring miscarriage, Chose Rent over Chemo, RIP trump cut my Medicaid and other similar thoughts

Elon Musk's social insecurity

The billionaire's reckless claims seem intended to manufacture outrage to justify an end to what he refers to as an “entitlement program.”

"Ronald Reagan called #SocialSecurity “a secure & stable base so that older #Americans may live in dignity.”

#ElonMusk calls it a “Ponzi scheme.”

Tell your Senators to vote No on Dr. Oz for the head of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

Please join me and sign the UltraViolet Action petition today! act.weareultraviolet.org/sign/

UltraVioletSIGN: A snake-oil salesman like Dr. Oz shouldn't be leading the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid ServicesDonald Trump has nominated a celebrity TV doctor who has peddled fake cures for his own financial gain to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). By now, we shouldn't be surprised, but it's still appalling! It's bad enough that Dr. Mehmet Oz has a history of using his celebrity status to promote unproven treatments for weight loss and COVID-19. But did you know that Oz also supports privatizing Medicare and Medicaid? He has long been a cheerleader for Medicare Advantage, a federal program that lets seniors buy private health insurance for lower premiums instead of enrolling in traditional Medicare. At face value, the program appears to give seniors more coverage options, but because there is no requirement for these private health plans to cover all patients' needs, many seniors remain underinsured. In fact, a Wall Street Journal exposé last year found that the patients on Medicare Advantage who required the most care were forced to enroll in traditional Medicare after their private insurance refused to cover essential services. The result? Private insurance companies that provide Medicare Advantage plans are raking in billions of taxpayer dollars to diagnose these patients without fully treating them. To make matters worse, taxpayers pay 22% more per person who enrolls in Medicare Advantage compared to traditional Medicare. Oz is a champion of Medicare Advantage. In fact, he often hosted segments on his hit TV show, "The Dr. Oz Show," that were sponsored by MedicareAdvantage.com. And there was certainly an incentive for him to do so. According to his disclosures in 2022 when he ran for office in Pennsylvania (and lost!), Oz owned up to $33.7 million in stock in companies that do business with CMS, including between $280,000 and $600,000 in shares of UnitedHealth Group and between $50,000 and $100,000 in shares of CVS Health. Both companies offer Medicare Advantage plans. If his stock portfolio is even a fraction of what it was in 2022, Oz could make millions of dollars should he take charge of CMS and privatize Medicare and Medicaid. That sounds like a potential conflict of interest to us. Nearly 160 million people get their health-care coverage through Medicare or Medicaid--most of them women and elderly individuals living in poverty. Privatization would put these successful programs in the hands of health insurance fat cats who care more about profits than the well-being of the American people. We can't sit by and let Oz take charge of CMS. Sign the UltraViolet Action petition today to tell the Senate to vote NO on Dr. Oz to lead CMS!

Elon Musk Finally Admits Social Security Is on the Chopping Block

The #DOGE chief has revealed his true goals in a #FoxNews interview.

"Trump has said he won’t touch #SocialSecurity or #Medicare, but Musk’s entitlement math makes it clear that both those programs, as well as #Medicaid, are on the chopping block. Millions of older #Americans—many of them red-state #Republicans—will lose the vital benefits"

Rep Alford on CNN today: "It's true that the Medicare, Medicaid, & Social Security make up about 75% of our budget. We've got to find the savings there.🚨We will do that."

Most Republican Reps agree with Musk, they'll defund the social safety net for tax cuts. Those funds will go to the oligarchs, like Musk & Trump's donors. They're no longer hiding their views bc #Musk, through #DOGE, has emboldened them. #Trump has always lied about not touching SS.

Broadly, states use these programs to pay for health related social services, mental health care, transitional housing, including meals and temporary housing. Programs also crossover to home care services.

#Trump has used #SocialSecurity as a primary example for what he casts as a govt rampant w/*fraud, waste & abuse*, claiming there are millions of people at advanced ages—including some purportedly over 100 years of age—still collecting agency checks.

“I’m not going to touch Social Security, #Medicare, #Medicaid. Now, we’re going to get *fraud* out of there,” Trump said in an interview Sun. “…We have people 250 years old & all, tremendous fraud.” [LIE, this has been repeatedly debunked]
