Commentary: Growing Evidence Shows Need for Stronger Rules for Short-Term Health Plans
The Trump administration has weakened federal standards for short-term health plans, leaving more people without comprehensive coverage. CBPP's Sarah Luek explains why these kinds of health insurance need stronger rules to protect consumers.
The Administration weakened federal standards for short-term plans, and it argues that they just represent a cheaper option for informed consumers who understand the risks. But as enrollment in these plans rises, they are leaving more people without comprehensive coverage.

If the Affordable Care Act is struck down by the Supreme Court, Medicaid expansion would end. This would take health coverage away from millions of people, reduce access to care, and increase premature death, debt, & uncompensated care costs. https://bit.ly/3jouhVX

Court Decision Against Trump Rule Preserves SNAP for 700,000 Jobless
Sunday’s federal court decision striking down a Trump Administration rule that would have eliminated SNAP (food stamps) for 700,000 low-income jobless workers means that the punitive, ill-conceived rule — already temporarily suspended due to the pandemic — can’t take effect even when the public health emergency ends.

Final 30 Days Push: Campaign for Stimulus Payment Outreach
Join us for a Facebook Live with New America where we will discuss the campaign for stimulus payment outreach and what you can do to help eligible individuals receive their funds.
Food Insecurity in the U.S. on the rise as prices soar and stimulus money is running out.
Millions of families are currently struggling to put food on the table, and that has long-lasting consequences for the months and years down the road. Watch this segment on Wolf Blitzer's The Situation Room on why policymakers need to boost SNAP now.
SNAP Matters - Now More Than Ever: The Long Struggle
SNAP is responding to rising need as America's most effective anti-hunger program. A temporary 15% increase in SNAP benefits will help families put food on the table through the COVID-19 crisis, as it also helps the economy recover.
SNAP - The Long Struggle
SNAP matters now more than ever because the economic crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic will likely continue for months or even years. A temporary 15% increase in SNAP benefits will help families as hardship continues to rise.
SNAP - Rising Food Insecurity
Rising food need & higher food prices are making it even tougher for many to make ends meet. Congress can act to boost SNAP benefits now & help families as food prices & income losses continue to rise.
SNAP - Boosting SNAP Benefits
A 15% increase in SNAP benefits will do a lot to address food insecurity during the COVID-19 crisis, even as it provides direct stimulus to help the economy recover. Congress can act to boost SNAP benefits now & help families as hardship continues to rise.

Boosting SNAP Benefits
While churches and food banks are doing heroic work to address the need created by the COVID-19, they are not equipped to address a problem of this scope & scale. Only SNAP – America’s most effective anti-hunger program – can meet this moment. Here’s why SNAP matters now more than ever.
SNAP Matters – Now More Than Ever: SNAP Participants, Pt. 2
“SNAP just plain works. The SNAP program is the single largest federal nutrition assistance program. It feeds millions of people.” During this public health & economic crisis, hear why SNAP matters – now more than ever.
SNAP Matters – Now More Than Ever: SNAP Participants, Pt. 1
SNAP matters to millions of people & children who rely on the program to put food on the table. Hear from SNAP participants on the support SNAP provides for them and their families, and what a boost in the SNAP benefit would mean during the downturn.
SNAP Matters – Now More Than Ever: SNAP As Work & Unemployment Support
SNAP is a proven form of stimulus that boosts the economy as it reduces food insecurity. CBPP’s Stacy Dean and Jared Bernstein explain here.
SNAP Matters – Now More Than Ever: SNAP As Stimulus
Not only is SNAP America’s best hunger-fighting tool, but it’s also a powerful stimulus in downturns. CBPP’s Bob Greenstein and Jared Bernstein explain here.

Trump has said that, politically, the best thing to do would be to let the Affordable Care Act (ACA) “explode.” This timeline tracks Administration actions that would sabotage the ACA by destabilizing private insurance markets and reversing the law’s historic gains in health coverage.
If you depend on the ACA for your healthcare or think you might, you will want to read this article. I was surprised by all the ways Trump is undermining the ACA!
Welfare hurts children. It's not astrophysics. Single mothers do not read to their children; they do not set rules, or have any expectations or demands. WHY do you NOT CARE? These children are suffering from Welfare.!!!!!!!!!!! They are depressed, abject. How do I know? I have worked with them!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE A CARE.
Here's a question: What is the biggest Housing discrimination that is grossly overlooked and not even mentioned in the fair housing laws.? Answer The discrimination through the pricing of property for sale. How lands are being made affordable for the wealthy class but not so much for the average middle class,lower class and poor.These people are being forces to lived in slums because they can't afford to live any where else on their salary. the American Dream of owning your own home and land is pretty much out of the reach of those not bringing home a million dollar salary. No one wants to go into deep debt to loans from Bankers and Mortgage company's. Its a scam that has screwed Billions. This is loan sharking and should be illegal, not seen as business as usual.
LOOKY HERE, ONE THING OHIO HAS GOTTEN RIGHT😇⚡
So this is interesting. CT. is getting over 1.3 million for education alone...I ask my friends on negotiations and such...how can we use this information?
Please read this. Our Americans would never work in the fields and do some low wage jobs.
So glad someone is finally speaking up for disabled veterans regarding the stimulus issue. I've heard nothing like this from any other source, not even the DAV or any other veterans advocacy group. Thank you. I hope those in power don't forget about us!
I hope you and others will put in place a way for the neediest to receive a stimulus check. Fifteen years ago with a cancer threat and an autistic child my finances became such that the bank wouldn't even allow me a checking account for direct deposit for wages. Now I'm OK. I did manage a savings account for direct deposit. Someone needs to help the un-banked get a bank account.
Just know that while you are waiting for that check, what Trump and his goons are doing.
THIS.
Though with regard to housing, Ben Carson did mention a cessation of foreclosures and evictions. He mentioned HOUSES; I do hope the eviction process includes those in apartments?
