It’s #LongCovidAwarenessDay . I’m in a huge flare so I don’t have a witty message.

"In states that have long refused to expand Medicaid to more low-income adults, people in the program aren’t subject to new rules under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act requiring them to prove they’re working in order to get and keep coverage.
