Dear Health Advocates,

Congress has a monumental chance to advance the most robust health care legislation in decades. NOW is a critical time for the health advocacy community to show our unity and our power. Congress needs to hear that ALL the issues on the table matter, including prescription drug prices, Medicare dental benefit, expanding the Medicaid coverage gap, and marketplace affordability.

Join us TODAY, from 12:00-12:30PM ET for a 30 minute Twitter storm to let Congress know that these legislative priorities cannot wait any longer-- now is the time to take action!

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:
1. Congress has an historic chance to lower #HealthCare costs & ensure that everyone can achieve & maintain good health. It’s time for Congress to rise to the occasion & prove that they can still pass legislation that makes a real difference across the country. #UniteForHealthCare
2. The choice before us right now is between capitalizing on this opportunity to lower #HealthCare costs for millions of people in America and another decade of stalemate and inaction. Congress MUST pass the #BuildBackBetter Act. #UniteForHealthCare
3. The price of #PrescriptionDrugs is a huge health & economic problem in the US. Almost 1 in 3 people can’t fill #RX due to cost. Nearly 90%, across party lines say they want Congress to act now to lower the price of prescription drugs. [link removed]
4. Dental care is the no.1 medical service that people across America skip due to cost. Adding #DentalCoverage to #Medicare would mean that millions of people could afford necessary #OralHealth care, staying healthier & ensuring lower #HealthCare costs for everyone.
5. #MedicaidExpansion has been crucial to making sure more people get #HealthCare. Most states have expanded the number of low-income adults who are eligible. The rest need to so more ppl have insurance, better access to care and everyone has lower costs. #UniteForHealthCare [link removed]
6. 53% of people told @KFF they are worried about their ability to afford their #HealthInsurance deductible – BEFORE #COVID19! Congress can do something about this, now let’s get it done! [link removed]

State-Specific Tweets:
1. Congress can make sure that [insert # amount from page 16] more people in [insert state] get health insurance. Tell [insert congressperson handle], we need #MedicaidExpansion in [insert state] now! [link removed]
2. In 2022, [insert # amount from page 10 of the report] of [insert state here] would gain #HealthInsurance due to the American Rescue Plan. [insert congressperson handle], we are counting on you to ensure these people can retain the health insurance they have. [link removed]
3. [insert # amount from page 6 of the report] people in [insert state] would benefit from adding oral health coverage to Medicare. Tell [insert congressperson handle] it’s time to modernize #Medicare to include an oral health benefit. [link removed]
4. [Insert state] would save [enter amount from page 3 of the report] on #PrescriptionDrugs under the Lower Drug Costs Now Act. [insert congressperson handle], it’s time to include key drug pricing elements of H.R. 3 in the upcoming reconciliation bill. [link removed]
