Lizzie Pannill Fletcher, a U.S. Congress member representing Texas’ 7th district since 2019, has been actively voicing her concerns and updates through social media. Her recent posts cover topics ranging from public health reminders to critiques of budget proposals affecting Medicaid.
On March 17, 2025, Fletcher emphasized the importance of vaccinations in preventing measles. She shared a reminder from Texas health officials stating: "The best way to protect yourself & your family from measles is to get vaccinated." She also provided a link for finding vaccine providers.
The following day, on March 18, 2025, Fletcher criticized a Republican budget proposal that involves significant spending cuts. According to her post: "Republicans passed a budget that calls for $880 billion in spending cuts from the E&C committee, the vast majority of which will come from Medicaid." She highlighted the potential impact on children and mothers in Texas who rely heavily on Medicaid.
Later on March 18, she further addressed the implications of proposed Medicaid cuts by President Trump and House Republicans. In her tweet, she noted: "In Texas, 61% of people living in nursing homes rely on Medicaid...President Trump's and House Republicans' proposal to cut Medicaid to finance a tax cut for billionaires is a bad plan." Fletcher underscored the reliance on Medicaid by residents in various care facilities.
