“Optional” means that insurance companies, including Medicare and Medicaid, will no longer be required to cover the costs. So-only the wealthy (or those who are willing to give up necessities) will be able to afford them.
Won’t it be fun when our enemies only need drop in good ol’ measles and ⚰️

From a very angry, scared pediatrician:
Who will be held responsible for the inevitable deaths that result from this attack on healthcare (vaccines, access, lack of medical school funding, physician shortages, hospital closures). And what will be the punishment for this unnecessary loss of life.

Can anyone tell me what exactly *we* are getting from our federal tax dollars?! It’s not healthcare. It’s not disaster relief. It’s not fair elections. It’s not educational support. It’s definitely not human rights protection.

But… but… how else can *they* vilify doctors?

Well, folks- it’s unfortunate that these gestapo didn’t pay attention to the fall out of a similar incident in Idaho. Those thugs are now being sued to the tune of $5M. And have criminal charges filed against them.
Do. Not. F. With. Free. Speech!!

Is there a special seminar on how to speak like tRump?
Lesson 1- belittle and degrade interviewer
2-shift blame (ideally on a democrat or woman. Bonus points if both!)
3- change the subject
4- pretend ignorance (and look like a complete buffoon in the process)
5- run away/ refuse to answer.

How do we combat his lies? I fully anticipate that, come this magical Sept., he’ll announce that vaccines are the cause of autism. There will be no evidence to support that claim. And that won’t matter. Millions of children will go unvaccinated and suffer.
(And this jaded old pediatrician says 🤷🏻♀️).

And don’t forget about funding for early intervention and educational resources.
Maybe the department of education will … never mind 🤬
I know! The professional medical associations will speak…🤦🏻♀️
We. Are. Screwed 😩

JFC 🤦🏻♀️. Americans better start prepping for the inevitable- physicians will quit medicine or leave the country. Hospitals will be overwhelmed and understaffed. And the shortage of willing healthcare workers will rise exponentially.
Good luck with that patriotic duty to be healthy. FFS

Does anyone listen when you say this?! I’ve been screaming from the rooftops that “we” need to stockpile, prepare (HPV as young as eligible!). My colleagues (in my blood red state) call me “chicken little “🤦🏻♀️

Who will patients and their families be mad at when there’s no way to care for all of the very sick people?
(Hint- it’s not the CDC or RFK jr!).
Doctors should revolt!

I firmly believe there will be “bans” on vaccines, made to look like this admin “saved” us from harm by removing vaccines from the US.
First to go: Gardisil (which has been wildly successful at cancer prevention!!).
In the meantime- they’ll defund VFC. So poor kids, rural kids won’t have access.

And the children will be the first to go… Remind me how this administration is pro-life again?! 😩🤬

1. Federal abortion ban
2. Removal of contraceptive/hormone access
3. Voting rights rescinded (Save Act)
4. Lack of elections (or “pretend” elections).
Any of the above. Truly considering new country options (gen peds)

The sad? truth is that our children- the tween and teens that are paying attention- are infinitely more intelligent than any member of cabinet. I’m putting my hopes in the sassy soon to be adult females of the country. #mydaughter

What is the over/under on whether or not we will even have elections in 2026?! I’m in the under 50% chance camp. If the MAGAts continue trumping along unchecked, we will be… Cuba? Argentina? Afghanistan? by the end of the year 😩

Sadly, the American populace has no clue what happened in the Nixon era.

Uh oh-Viagra, Cialis🤷🏻♀️
As a physician- I am torn. I am legitimately annoyed by big pharma and their $ grabs. At the same time, there are some really amazing breakthrough drugs that can save/change/improve lives. And so many people who can benefit won’t know about them without ads.

Yep. That’s the ironic hell we are living in right now. Oh, and healthcare workers in my state can now refuse treatment if they disagree “ethically” with their potential patients 🤦🏻♀️

And doctors will just leave Idaho. The state that ranks dead last in doctors per capita. The state that has no public medical school. The state that’s allowing medical providers to refuse to care for those they don’t like. The state that is looking to cut funding for medical school spots (WWAMI).
