People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all of your needs met. If you believe this, you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled.

You claim to be the party of “small government” but that is a lie. You want to control books, curriculum, teachers, children’s private parts, and every uterus in the state. You can’t be the party of “small government” when your members act like tyrants. jesspiper.substack.com/p/one-thing

HANDS OFF OUR HEALTHCARE MUSK! THIS IS A SOUND THE ALARMS MOMENT A random billionaire and a few teens he hired have gotten into our money at the Treasury, and are now getting their hands into our Medicare and Medicaid system.

I wonder why democrat politicians who will continue to get rich through insider trading no matter what don't feel the same sense of urgency as the rest of us

See, this right here is why I am so critical of Mark Cuban. The NIH doesn’t need to “remove inefficiencies.” Trump’s not doing this to improve the NIH. NIH just needs to fund biomedical research. The last thing we need are billionaires meddling in public health.

I’ve been using myofascial release on my head/neck/shoulders for years and have finally gotten to the point of releasing tissue around my neck and head. Let me tell you that releasing tissue from one side of my septum to the other is the strangest thing I have ever felt.

This weekend spouse and I need to decide whether I should stay on the higher cost med or move to the lower tier med for 1/2 the price that also comes with a risk of dementia when the LC already causes cognitive problems. Fuck big pharma.

I feel like everyone who did hackneyed pr puff pieces on this guy calling him an epic genius and stuff while he was still just a relatively marginal billionaire and not yet the most powerful villain in the world should do a public apology and then retire

The MSM doesn’t think my disability & chronic illness communities bring in the💰🤑They completely shut us out of the narrative. They do it when they speak Social Security only referring to seniors, they never invite us to appear on their shows or their media. They ONLY ask when it’s breaking news. 🏠🔥
