The Hound 12/18

Hi there,

It’s Thursday. Today we’re talking about threats to children’s health policy, the future of Obamacare subsidies, and more.

We’re also tracking how media narratives shape public understanding. From attacks on pediatric health funding to looming health care cutoffs for millions, the stakes are real — and misinformation only makes the damage worse.

🖊️ Add your name to demand media coverage rooted in facts, accountability, and the real-world consequences of policy decisions.
