"Figuring out who’s offering the best deal on heart surgeries or routine physicals isn’t the most pressing issue for everyday Americans. That hasn’t stopped lawmakers on Capitol Hill from trying to turn that kind of price transparency into their marquee bipartisan health care goal this year." https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/26/health-care-price-transparency-insurers-hospitals-01011835 #healthcare #hospitals #insurance #CostsOfCare #transparency #UScongress #USpol

"I understand that people have a right to medical privacy to deal with their issues, but we do not have the right to disappear from our jobs without explanation," she said in a television interview. "I don't think any American has ever experienced the ability to just leave your job for over a month with no explanation to your employer." https://www.medpagetoday.com/washington-watch/washington-watch/122327 #healthcare #UScongress #USpol #PaidLeave #labor

USPol / US politics Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
So six Democratic congresscritters crossed the aisle to pass the latest defence spending bill - not that unusual, given their swing districts and being up for election - but they did so with the "SAVE" act attached to it. Apparently, they have all the self-preservation instinct of the mythical #lemmings from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Fabrication. Because the entire point of the #SAVE act is to disenfranchise as many Democratic-leaning voters as possible. This isn't speculation; it's easy to read in the measures that it calls for, but more than that, #Trump has explicitly described it that way over the last few months. The #Democrats frequently do not need the #GOP to ratf*ck them [1]; as here, they're quite capable of doing it to themselves. Everyone who cares about preserving #US democracy, such as it is, needs to yell at their #senators to ensure this monstrosity doesn't pass in the Senate. There's been lots of talk of it not having the votes there, but that was said about other things that (eventually) got passed as well. [1] Don't blame me for the language. A US president brought the term into wide use. #USPol #USCongress #DemocraticParty #SAVE #USSenate #ElectionStealing #elections #disenfranchise #voters #MutualOfOmaha #MutualOfOmahasWildKingdom #fabrication #SAVEAct

"Despite their annual visits to the Hill and efforts to share their stories with lawmakers, abortion advocates have struggled to break through in a Congress that, since Dobbs, has lacked the numbers to roll back state bans or otherwise loosen restrictions." https://www.texastribune.org/2026/07/06/texas-abortion-landscape-dobbs-v-jackson-four-year-anniversary-congress/ #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #abortion #txlege #UScongress #USpol

"Monarez was fired...because she refused to cave to Kennedy’s demands to rubber-stamp vaccine recommendations without scientific backing. Her ousting led to a cascade of high-profile resignations at the CDC, including chief medical officer Dr. Debra Houry; Dr. Daniel Jernigan, who headed the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases; and Daskalakis. None of those roles has been filled." https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/trump-cdc-director-nominate-vaccination-measles-rcna261938 #PublicHealth #CDC #leadership #UScongress #USpol
