“Dr. King said of all the inequalities, inequality in healthcare is the most shocking & inhumane. The proposal by Washington politicians to cut YOUR Medicaid to give the wealthiest Americans a tax cut is inhumane & immoral.” Senator Warnock, this #CupOfJoe is for you. Thank you for speaking truth.

JUST IN: HNL Lab Medicine will begin subtyping all positive influenza A samples from hospitalized patients to detect H5N1 bird flu.
