      (1/2) Nearly 45,000 Americans lost their lives to suicide in 2016—a horrific 30% increase since 1999. The recent tragic deaths of Kate Spade & Anthony Bourdain shine a spotlight on this national public health crisis – and serve as a powerful reminder that no one is immune.

          You ended the individual mandate, increasing premiums and jeopardizing coverage for pre-existing conditions. One of our members sent her suicidal husband out of Maine to receive quality mental health care. You sit on the appropriations committee please APPROPRIATE funds for care

          True Story. Then after a suicide attempt in Maine the hospitals couldn't find a spot for him. Suicide hotlines are GREAT, but show us the money and not votes that impact the fate of rural hospitals in Maine and your constituents ability to afford health insurance.

          Suicidal thoughts & behaviors, along w/risk factors for suicide like depression & substance abuse, are considered pre-existing conditions by ins companies OCare protected those pre-existing conditions Trump & Sessions now refuse to defend those protections...what will you do?

          Yes and what do you plan to do about @realDonaldTrump ‘s plan to categorize depression and anxiety “pre-existing conditions” thereby taking away coverage from Americans? ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS. #ACA #Obamacare #Depression #Anxiety

          But you vote to reduce funding to the Children's Heslth Insurance Program? There goes many mental health services for children. Get real.

          Meanwhile, the Trump administration (while GOP stays silent or cheerleads) is taking away protections for pre-existing conditions and access to affordable healthcare. There is a disconnect here.

          You have realized mental health services are very difficult to get without health insurance right? And now that the GOP got rid of individual mandate, the Justice Dept today decided to go after protections for pre-existing conditions?

          Although anyone using those services will be penalized later on -could be denied life-saving coverage - for having a pre-existing condition. That is on YOU. #SelloutSusan #mepolitics

          You voted for that Trumpcare plan, didn’t you? It’s gonna HURT people with mental health issues and addictions but then you don’t care, do you? It won’t affect YOUR health insurance.
