I've had two patients in the last week with end-stage tuberculosis that killed or will kill them. In today's world, that's unacceptable. Nobody should die of TB anymore. It really is a shame this country is about to make it even harder to reach those who most need help.

My adult daughter Rachel works everyday, pays taxes, loves going to movies with her friends, and listens to awful (IMO) music. Our U.S. Dept HHS has lost all of its humanity, compassion, and intellectual curiosity

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

So this is very bad. The government does not have the staff to keep its networks & data secure or functional. As a result, the HHS won’t be able to protect sensitive data or carry out its work. Imagine the US without research, emergency response, prevention, regulating medicines, health insurance…
