Dear Health Advocates,
We are halfway through this summer and there's so much more advocacy work on the horizon. With Medicaid redeterminations still ongoing, we're tracking the best ways to be helpful to those losing their coverage. We're also amplifying new important comment opportunities on a number of proposed rules. Please find those resources and more below, and feel free to share with your networks!
