Big corporations and billionaires never have to prove they deserve giant tax cuts.... We believe that cancer patients shouldn’t have to prove they deserve healthcare, especially not to pay for some billionaire’s new megayacht. Stop the #HealthcareHeist @economicsecurity.us
It's Medicaid's 61st birthday! I wrote a piece lifting up the perspectives of people who rely on it. Here's what they told me: cuts hurt people, paperwork requirements burden families, fraud is a red herring, & elected leaders are out of touch. Read more here: www.syracuse.com/opinion/2026...
Historic Medicaid cuts are a body blow to vulnerable Americans (Guest Opinion by Jamila Michener)
Cornell researcher's team interviewed dozens of enrollees. They said H.R. 1 will create impossible burdens and reflect a double standard between how rich and poor are treated.

Last month, @govpritzker.illinois.gov signed legislation banning junk fees in Illinois. The price you see is now the price you pay. ESILA Policy and Research Director Erion Malasi was quoted in the Sun-Times. 🔗 chicago.suntimes.com/springfield/...
🎉The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced the COMPETE Act (AB 1776) last night, an enormous win for California families and small businesses who have suffered from monopoly abuse for too long.
Big affordability win in Illinois!🎉 Today, @govpritzker.illinois.gov signed HB 228 into law, banning hidden junk fees and ensuring the price you see is the price you pay. ESILA was proud to join the bill signing after years of advocacy to get this done. 🔗: economicsecurity.us/news/economi...

The California Assembly just voted to do something that hasn’t been done in more than 100 years: update our state’s antitrust laws. The COMPETE Act is headed to the Senate, and that’s a win for California families and small businesses who have been paying the price for unchecked monopoly abuse. 1/

We’re proud to be fighting alongside great partners to keep California competitive.
TechEquity@techequity.bsky.social · 3mo agoRight now, a handful of corporations control what Californians pay at the grocery store, what they earn at work, and whether their neighborhood businesses survive. Why? It’s in part because of single-firm conduct—when a single company acts to unfairly decrease competition in its market.
Today, Chanelle shared her story with Illinois lawmakers. As a mom preparing to welcome her third child, she knows firsthand how expensive and stressful pregnancy and postpartum care can be. NEST would change that. Illinois can make this happen.
Good news: Hidden junk fees are one step closer to being history in Illinois. SB 1486 just cleared committee, because the price you see should be the price you pay. Time to protect Illinoisans and hold corporations accountable.
"The healthcare costs of every single American family right now are going through the roof. The reality is, you cannot cut more than $900 billion of healthcare spending, and expect those costs not to be made up somewhere else." - @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social
Healthcare isn’t a luxury. It’s a right. Cuts to Medicaid and the ACA have created a crisis that will hit all of us. When families lose coverage, hospitals close, ER wait times skyrocket, and everyone pays more. Stop the #HealthcareHeist https://economicsecurity.us/campaign/healthcare-heist/
Stop the Healthcare Heist - Economic Security Project Action
Vision Americans deserve better, more affordable healthcare. They’re fed up with corporate profiteering that’s making healthcare so expensive for everyone, and they’re desperate for Congress to stand up to health insurance companies to lower costs and expand care. Instead, Republicans in Congress gutted Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) just to give tax cuts…
