“President Obama described the ACA as a starter home. Over time you add to it, you make it better, you make it bigger. When we start taking back seats and eventually when we take back the White House, we can continue building on what was once that starter home ofin the ACA. We can get toward our shared dream of having universal coverage in this country.”

“Donald Trump submitted his annual budget request to Congress. On top of the $1 trillion they cut from Medicaid last year, they're calling for more cuts in order to fund this massive increase both in military spending and in the money that they're spending for mass detention of immigrants. We want our tax dollars to be spent to support our families, our healthcare, our childcare, our elder care. We don't want our tax dollars spent on funding more reckless wars, more human rights abuses against immigrant friends and families and neighbors who are critical to both our economies, our care infrastructure, and our future.”

“It is a privilege to age in this country, but it shouldn't be a privilege to age with dignity. Medicaid is so critical and really the only program that helps older adults age and be able to stay at home and connected to their families. We know this is what the vast majority of people want to do and with support of Medicaid, they can do that. But if they don't get that support, people who don't need or or want to be in a nursing facility end up there because that's the only option for them.”

“Having mental clarity and physical well-being when they're cutting health care and attacking your conscious mind - that's the superpower. To run around sick and stressed out is to fall into the trap they've laid for you. You taking care of you is the best way to take care of us.”
