Lisa Blunt Rochester, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Delaware’s at-large district, has been vocal about healthcare issues in recent social media posts. Her tweets reflect her ongoing commitment to defending the Affordable Care Act and addressing potential Republican cuts to Medicaid.

On March 23, 2025, Rochester marked the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act with a tweet stating, "15 years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. Every day since, Republicans have fought to repeal it — cutting millions off from care & handing control back to insurance companies. They're not letting up, but I'll never stop working to defend your access to care."

Later that day, she highlighted potential impacts of Republican-proposed Medicaid cuts on Delaware residents. She tweeted: "Here’s a look at what Republican cuts to Medicaid would mean for Delawareans: higher prescription costs, fewer options for patients, and funding cuts for hospitals and care providers. The people have made their voices heard – together we’ll work to protect this life-saving care."

On March 24, 2025, Rochester addressed Medicare enrollment in a tweet encouraging eligible individuals to sign up before the deadline. She wrote: "Are you or a loved one eligible for Medicare but not currently enrolled? You have one week left to sign up! Head to https://t.co/U1VasQr6Pc for more information about coverage options and find a plan that’s right for you."
