With vaccination rates in children so low per the CDC 5.6% 6mo-4yrs and 15% 5-17yrs, I feel this begs the question of WHY are they bothering to change recommendations. Unless it's just performative pandering to the anti-vaxxers.

East of I-5 is starting to get mad. Large % of voters are either on Medicaid, use it to pay for elder/disability care, or work in jobs that depend on Medicaid funding. Pair that with immigration and the worry that there will be no one to work in agriculture & they're starting to see purple.

This should be screamed from the rooftops, all day, every day! The cost of living: salary ratio is an abomination. When Medicaid was conceived, The wealthiest paid taxes, and the difference in salary between workers and c suite wasn't the gaping chasm it is today.

🧵 And before someone says to just buy a policy that covers more, these are usually not an option via employee plans and are unaffordable privately. Medicaid is a literal lifeline for elders & children & adults with disabilities. 🧵

For so many families, working & having insurance through an employer isn't enough. We work hard and pay our premiums, co pays & deductibles. When our paid for insurance plans choose to not cover essential care, Medicaid steps in as a backup. Most people on Medicaid are working hard just to live. 🧵

I worked in social services during Clinton's "Welfare to Work" program. It was a lofty idea, but as policy, it was clearly written by those who had never done shift work, nor struggled to find childcare, especially during evening and overnight shifts. Citing it isn't the flex Britt thinks it is.
