PEOPLE OVER POLITICS. Healthcare is life or death for MILLIONS of Americans.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 15h

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

If you think Donald Trump & GOP's Big UGLY Bill & the CR will NOT affect YOUR insurance think again! The BBB will affect EVERYONE on Medicare (my supplemental premium is going UP⬆️ + My Part D RX⬆️). The Tax Subsidies uncertainty & the ACA will allow insurers to WALLOP consumers!

The 💩 will hit the 🪭

Please bring attention to: Medicare (both Traditional & Medicare Advantage), Medicaid Cuts, SNAP cuts along with ACA Tax Subsidies & PRIVATE insurance. They will all go up due to the instability in the insurance marketplace. The time to prevent this was back in March. So many will end up uninsured.😢

In 2010, with my 1st service dog here in Manhattan, NY when I became disabled, I had to fight everywhere. Grocery stores, taxis, you name it, I fought it. As awareness began to permeate I stopped having to use my energy for this purpose. It's happened on Amtrak & EVEN when I went to the White House!

Please ALWAYS remember that SSDI/SSI & Spouse/Children Survivors in ADDITION to Seniors RECEIVE Social Security Benefits. I hear about it in reporting as Seniors & while they make up the majority of beneficiaries, we count too. It's IMPORTANT to my disability population that we're seen. Thank you.🙏💜

Social Security by Type as of 2023. 75.2% are Seniors/Retirees, 13.1% are people with disabilities and 11.7% are Survivors.

Yes, one survivor. If both parents were gone, then the child would receive the benefit. Lindsey Graham's sister was the recipient of Social Security as he loves to talk about in every SS hearing. Benefits are for them but for US, they want to cut them, make them difficult to access & raise the age!🤬

True, but for the people that decided for their own reasons, we need to make them aware to check their plans during Medicare Open Enrollment and make sure they are continuing. They will not be auto-enrolled into a similar plan and will be screwed!💔

This is outrageous. Not just for those of us who can no longer work but for everyone on a limited income who depended on ACA for reasonable coverage.

Yup, my low level Medicare Advantage plan at Kaiser in Seattle has been canceled for 2026. You may think all the Trump cuts don’t affect you… but they might.
