    "In a striking example of doublespeak, the Trump administration is calling this new program “Healthy Adult Opportunity” — as if the chance to go without health insurance counts as 'opportunity.'"

  5. We're glad Samuel is speaking out. This is an important, teachable moment for so many more people than just the presidential candidates. Treat people with disabilities with respect (like everyone else), it's really not that hard.

    The Trump admin proposed changing how the poverty line is calculated that would ultimately cause millions of people to receive less help from health, food assistance, & other programs that help them meet basic needs. Here are just some examples ⬇️

    “7 million people were not lifted off of food stamps, they were KICKED off of...We want to believe we are doing better. We are not.” Thank you for addressing the hypocrisy of the current administration.

    Undermining the Standards endangers the health of ALL Americans, but is especially harmful to pregnant women, children, and babies, as mercury can cause lifelong harm to brain development. More on what’s at stake:

    The administration wants use a lower measure of inflation to decrease the poverty threshold. We can give the rich & corporations millions and billions in tax giveaways, but when it comes to those who really need help, it's a "handout" to be cut.

  11. Nearly 12 million US children — enough to fill this year’s Super Bowl more than 180 times — live in poverty. The administration is adding more barriers to health care, nutrition & housing, when they should be removing existing barriers. Tell them to help us

  12. Kids experience poverty at a higher rate than adults, & stand to lose the most if the proposal is enacted. Millions would be at risk of losing access to CHIP & Medicaid programs that support healthy child development.

  13. The administration says we should be , but their proposal is a thinly veiled attempt to decrease the numbers without addressing the problem. And all our kids will pay far too much of the price. Learn more:

  14. This administration's proposal to lower the poverty line would take CHIP & Medicaid from 300,000 children. Our nation should be doing more to help , not harm them. The poverty line is just $24,858 per year for a family of four with two children.

    Last night we heard the president talk about supporting children, and today heard testimony on the administration’s cruel attempt to take free school meals from one million children. Facts matter. Kids matter.

  16. In the world’s wealthiest nation, no child should go to bed hungry, lack access to health care, be deprived of clean water, or be w/o a safe, affordable home. Join advocates around the country to RT . Tell the administration to stop cutting programs kids need.

  17. This week will hold a two-day series of hearings to examine Trump's harmful attack on our children by attempting to gut a number of regulations relating to children’s poverty, housing, hunger & health. Lift up this message by retweeting & following !

    This is something millions of disabled Americans and our family members do on the regular, and it is exhausting. Like you think your private insurance company is bad? You have no idea.

    President Trump claimed last night that he will fight to protect patients with pre-existing conditions. A flat-out lie. If it was true, he wouldn’t be suing to end protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions, and he’d drop his lawsuit now.
