I’ve read this multiple times and get more confused each time. And I’m a board certified oncologist.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

Medicare stops access to #Telehealth April 1st for almost all. [Even rural pts must drive to a 🏥 office 1st & THEN get telehealth.] This will lead to: 1️⃣ less access to specialty care 2️⃣ poorer outcomes 3️⃣ higher costs for people with cancer #Telemedicine was a step forward. Let's not fall back.

I was mistaken. It is Medicare that will be expiring. Unclear how or if this will end up affecting private insurers and Medicaid. Deadline has been extended a number of times and hopefully will be again.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Correction: Medicare not Medicaid (unclear about Medicaid as this is more dependent on state rules) coverage is expiring. So the elderly, who also likely struggle the most with physically traveling to an office, will be the most harmed.

NIH indirects case update: Hearing ongoing now, and I'll try to live tweet some notable exchanges. Prior to more detailed arguments, Judge Kelley starts off with a few point questions to both sides: (I'm paraphrasing here)

My office is be t to one of our Radiation Oncologists. He does many telehealth visits for elderly patients who live in rural areas hours away. Transportation is difficult and costly. How does this help anyone? Call your representative.

Medicaid coverage for virtual visits ends April 1st. As someone who cares for children that live up to 8 hours away, this is DEVASTATING. Children, adults, elderly will all suffer. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES The 5 calls app makes it easy!

Add up the claimed savings on the DOGE website and (right now )you get $7.19b from contract savings, and $0.14b from real estate, for a total of $7.3b, or $21.47 per American. Trump is talking about giving a "DOGE dividend" of 20% of these savings. Enjoy your $4.29.
