Given what's happening at the NIH and CDC, I am reminded of this cartoon. MAHA is going to find out the hard way the vaccines and modern medicines are important.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

American medical organizations/associations, we need to hear from you NOW! Our scientific and public health institutions are being dismantled. Health resources for women, LGBTQ+, minorities and people with disabilities are being erased. Global health is affected. This is our lane. ⚕️ #MedSky

Americans, the information you lack (because the CDC just removed or revised key information on contraception and STIs) is freely available in Canada. Knowledge is power. The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada is a reliable source. Sexandu.ca

The Medicaid payment portal is currently frozen. Our healthcare system relies on these funds for over 3.5 million Ohioans. Hospitals, doctors, dentists - all providers are not getting paid. Ohio loses ~$73,000/minute if the federal government does not release the payments they owe

Thank you, Caroline Kennedy, taking a stand on RFK’s nomination as HHS Secretary and speaking out when so many remain silent. She described him as a “predator,” with victims ranging from family members to the parents of sick children.

I'm trying to keep up with this; the party of pro-life has 1) ended cancer research 2) pulled us out of the WHO 3) Frozen communications and updates for the NIH and the CDC 4) raised prescription prices previously capped 5) out of Paris Climate Accords again 6) FDA and HHS gone Dark #MAGADeathCult

I know somebody died but that doesn’t mean you have to say nice things about health insurance companies. They won’t approve your claims. They will fuck you though.

submitted 83 days ago • 39 comments

Reminder: Health insurance companies don't provide healthcare. They profit from gatekeeping access to healthcare. Doctors, nurses, and hospitals provide healthcare.

A patient kept trying to debate me today that RFK Jr is just want America healthcare needs to MAHA. Every point he brought up was just a clear demonstration of how misinformation spreads and how easy it is to succumb to if you don’t have any medical training.
