Partners,
Join us TODAY on Twitter for our weekly #Thursday30! From 12:00-12:30pm ET, use the hashtag #UniteForHealthCare! This week, we're focusing on health equity and high prescription drug costs. Please feel free to use and customize social posts below from our regularly updated Thursday 30 Toolkit ([link removed]) . Suggested content for this week includes:
* As our nation recently honored Juneteenth as a national holiday for the first time, this is a critical moment to recommit to the goal of racial justice in health care. #healthequity #UniteForHealthCare
* Health should not depend on who we love or how we identify. #LGBTQ+ ppl in America often face stigma, systemic trauma, and hate that leads to #healthinequalities. During #Pride and always, we need to fight for #LGBTQ+ #healthequity. #UniteForHealthCare
* (1) #PrescriptionDrug price gouging that restricts access to medications literally costs Black and Brown people their lives and limbs. Black & Latinx patients are more likely than white patients to ration diabetes & hypertension meds due to cost. #healthequity #UniteForHealthCare
+ (2) Racism puts Black and Latinx people at higher risk of these diseases & price gouging blocks them from accessing treatment. #healthequity #UniteForHealthCare
* #HealthEquity policy solutions must address access to #healthcare and the factors that shape health in order to have the greatest impact. Join us, let’s dedicate ourselves to passing major #healthequity policy in 2021. #UniteForHealthCare
To your health,
Hannah Markus
Strategic Partnerships Coordinator
