VioletVision+FollowWhy Are Moms Losing Health Coverage?I've been reading about how a lot of new moms are losing their health insurance right after giving birth. It just doesn't make sense—shouldn't moms get the care they need, especially after having a baby? It feels like something needs to change so no one falls through the cracks during such an important time. #MaternalHealth #HealthCareAccess #Medicaid #Health00Share
JupiterJazz+FollowWhy Does Medicaid Seem Easier for Some?I've always wondered why it feels like folks with lower incomes or who aren't working can get healthcare through Medicaid way easier than those of us in the middle. It seems like if you make just a bit too much, you miss out on help but still can't really afford good insurance. Anyone else feel like the system's kinda unfair? Would love to hear if anyone's had a similar experience or found a workaround! #HealthcareTalk #Medicaid #MiddleClassStruggles #Health #BodyHealth1423Share
opowell+FollowOur Healthcare System is Broken... Here's Why 🏥America's healthcare spending reveals concerning patterns when compared internationally: 1. While Medicaid expansion has been adopted by 41 states, covering over 20 million people, Congress is now considering cutting up to $880 billion from federal Medicaid spending over the next decade. 2. Medicaid expansion has proven critical for healthcare access - nearly 4 in 10 women of reproductive age and over 6 in 10 adults aged 50-64 on Medicaid receive coverage through expansion. 3. Rural hospitals are particularly vulnerable - 44% had negative operating margins in 2023, with closures (62) far outpacing openings (10) from 2017-2024. 4. One-third of Medicaid expansion enrollees have chronic physical health conditions and a quarter have behavioral health conditions, showing the program's importance for managing serious health needs. 5. States that expanded Medicaid show better hospital finances and higher healthcare spending per enrollee, demonstrating expansion's economic benefits for healthcare systems and patients alike. Cutting these vital programs threatens coverage for millions and could devastate rural healthcare infrastructure across America. Why pour trillions into a system that leaves millions behind? 🏥 #healthcare #medicaidexpansion #ruralhospitals #healthcarecosts #medicaid #medicarecuts #healthpolicy 112Share
opowell+Follow"Wait, We Spend HOW MUCH on Healthcare?!" The Truth RevealedAmerican healthcare costs are skyrocketing, and the data paints a concerning picture when compared globally: 1. Rural hospitals face significant financial challenges, with 44% reporting negative operating margins in 2023, despite special payment designations supporting 96% of them. 2. Medicare covers a larger share of hospital discharges in rural vs. urban areas (53% vs. 45%), while Medicaid finances nearly half (47%) of all rural births. 3. The financial health of rural hospitals is particularly concerning as Congress considers reducing federal Medicaid spending by up to $880 billion over the next decade. 4. States that adopted ACA Medicaid expansion show improved hospital finances - only 41% of rural hospitals in expansion states had negative margins compared to 50% in non-expansion states. 5. From 2017-2024, rural America lost a net 52 hospitals, with closures (62) far outpacing openings (10), threatening both healthcare access and local economies. The sustainability of our healthcare system demands urgent attention as policymakers weigh difficult budget decisions. #healthcare #ruralhospitals #medicaid #medicareexpansion #healthpolicy #healthcareaccess #medicaidcuts30Share
Samuel Gutierrez+FollowDid 8M People Really Scam Medicaid?Heard the buzz about 8 million people supposedly faking their way onto Medicaid? Turns out, that viral claim is way overblown. While the government is double-checking for accidental double sign-ups (think: people moving states, not secret masterminds), there’s no evidence of a massive scam. The real takeaway? Always keep your info updated if you move—otherwise, you might get a surprise bill or lose coverage! #Medicaid #MoneyTips #FactCheck #Business362553Share

jporter+FollowMedicaid Work Rules Could Backfire Big TimeDid you know proposed Medicaid work requirements might actually do more harm than good? A new study says these rules could kick up to 5.2 million adults off health coverage, slash nearly half a million jobs, and suck $59 billion out of state economies in just one year. Instead of helping people find work, it could make things way worse. Experts say investing in job programs works better than tying healthcare to employment.

james60+FollowHHS Taps Health Data for Autism BreakthroughsMajor move: Medicare & Medicaid are sharing private health data (securely!) to dig deep into autism research. The goal? Finally get real answers on what causes autism, how treatments work, and the true impact on families. This could mean better care and more support for those affected. The data even includes info from wearables! Privacy is a big deal here, and they’re promising to keep everything locked down. Could this be the game-changer families have been waiting for? #AutismResearch #HealthcareInnovation #Medicare #Medicaid #DataForGood #PrivacyMatters #Health76Share
