“Beneath the Idaho Senate.”

Donald Trump started his Monday morning by doing something that has become a regular habit: live-tweeting Fox News. And this time it got him into international trouble.

The Trump administration believes the most overburdened working families in America do not have enough stress in their lives, and it’s working with Republican governors to strip them of vital health care services. The White House sent a letter to the directors of state Medicaid agencies that gives them the green light to cut off […]

The Trump administration is working to expose underaged children to pesticides that could cause cancer or brain damage, in yet another initiative designed to hurt vulnerable Americans.

The impending human cost of Republicans’ failure to restore funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program for 9 million kids is very real, and growing all the time.

Barely 12 hours after passing a historically unpopular tax scam that creates a $1.4 trillion hole in the federal budget, Republicans are now refusing to reauthorize funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) — at least until they can figure out a way to get something for themselves along the way. Federal funds for CHIP, which […]

Apparently, passing a massive tax giveaway to the rich isn’t quite enough to soothe Donald Trump’s fragile ego after a year of failure. So someone on his team — his daughter Ivanka? Son-in-law Jared Kushner? Chief of staff John Kelly? — told him his bill did much more than ensure his children will inherit billions […]

Republicans are planning to ram through the final version of their tax scam this week, voting in the House on Tuesday and the Senate on Wednesday. But activists are refusing to back down.

On Saturday morning, millions of Americans awoke to the news that Senate Republicans had passed a historically unpopular bill that raises taxes on 87 million working families, hands billionaires and corporations massive giveaways, and undermines the existing health care system. They passed the scheme in the dead of night, leaving most Americans in the dark about […]

At the beginning of the holiday season, Republicans showed Americans where their priorities lie: Giving aid and comfort to mega-rich donors and leaving sick children out in the cold. Republicans, who control the House, Senate, and the White House, have refused to reauthorize the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This program, which provides health care […]

Republicans have failed, time and time again, to cut Medicaid. It remains highly popular, with voters in Maine decisively choosing to expand it last week, and so far public opposition has thwarted any legislation to roll it back. But according to the Hill, the Trump administration is now planning to unilaterally let Republican governors take […]

On Tuesday, the GOP scheme to steal money from working families, small businesses, and veterans to pay for tax breaks for the mega-wealthy got much, much worse. At the behest of a group of far-right senators, GOP leadership inserted repeal of Obamacare’s individual mandate into the Senate tax bill. The idea is that because this […]

Donald Trump has been hell-bent on repealing Obamacare since day one in office. And with all of the attempts by Republicans in Congress to destroy President Barack Obama’s signature achievement in the trash can, Trump has taken matters into his own hands. After signing executive orders to exempt several health plans from Obamacare consumer protections, […]

After a series of failed efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Republicans are still determined to take health care away from Americans — and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen.

  Taking a break from blaming Democrats for a terrorist attack on his watch, Donald Trump tweeted that the Senate should repeal an essential part of Obamacare and “use those savings” for tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

Republicans were so busy trying to ram through their nightmarish Obamacare repeal bill in September that they forgot to put a key funding bill on the agenda: the reauthorization of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which covers some 9 million children. Funding officially expired on Oct. 1. Nearly one month later, Republicans have shown […]

Donald Trump has long promised action on the drug crisis ravaging rural communities and tearing families apart with death and loss — particularly in Appalachia, where his core base is anchored. During his campaign, he vowed one of his signature policies would be to “end the opioid epidemic in America.” Fast forward to today. Trump has done […]

Donald Trump refused to let the GOP’s failures to repeal Obamacare stand in his way. This month, he struck back by signing executive orders ending the birth control mandate, pushing people to buy “association” and “short-term” plans without consumer protections, and — most crucially — terminating cost sharing reduction subsidies to insurers. On Monday, Trump boasted in bizarre […]

Donald Trump’s decision to end a provision of the Affordable Care Act that helps people afford health insurance will harm states that voted for him in 2016 the most, according to a new analysis conducted by the Associated Press. The ACA’s cost-sharing subsidies help low- and middle-income earners afford health insurance by lowering the price […]

It’s no secret at all how much damage Donald Trump and the Republican Party are trying to do to the nation’s health care system.
