Melanie D’Arrigo @darrigomelanie.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Trump is killing telehealth for seniors, because many seniors will skip seeing a doctor if they have to go in-person. Patients skipping appointments saves money, but also leads to more preventable deaths. Guess which he cares about more? 27265125
Zack Niceman, but a monster of some sort @zackniceman.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Turns out they're no longer strong supporters, so it's harm-time. 010
Ginny Tacker @nashnative.bsky.social · 21/02/2025So ridiculous. This makes communication and care so much more convenient and efficient. 000
Nancy Hicks @nancyhicks.bsky.social · 22/02/2025I used telehealth once early on in the pandemic. It worked well & seems efficient & less costly than an office visit. Is the reason for this that the huge medical conglomerates lobbied for it because they want to be able to bill for office visits? 000
Kathy Stout-LaBauve @kslabauve.bsky.social · 21/02/2025It’s deplorable! Just one more cruel Republican Regime action taken against the vulnerable in our country. 020
Lesley Herren @hrynblue.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Covid deaths saved social security over $200 billion in future claims. Encouraged by such 'good' news you can see why encouraging preventable deaths is a desirable outcome for this administration. www.nber.org/papers/w3346....nber.orgThe Effect of US COVID-19 Excess Mortality on Social Security OutlaysFounded in 1920, the NBER is a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to conducting economic research and to disseminating research findings among academics, public policy makers, an... 000
mturk1.bsky.social @mturk1.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I get in my soapbox and always repeat myself on the his topic. Cuts such as this ALWAYS hurt our most vulnerable citizens. The old, the sick and the poor. Those who cannot drive, those with multiple chronic conditions, those who have questions about their prescribed medications. 150
Sandi @sanditonymccain.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Telehealth was a lifesaver last year when I had cancer. I had a fractured femur from lymphoma and getting into a wheelchair or car was excruciatingly painful. I limited my in person appointments to chemotherapy and telemedicine bridged the gap. This is cruel and stupid. 020
Water Rabbit @amadworld.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Even seniors have to return to the office now? Bullshit! 030
Jim @jim2118.bsky.social · 21/02/2025It’s all so deliberate. Kill the old, weak, poor, and sick. Outright evil that we haven’t seen in the US before. They must be stopped. 030
Sherri @walkingumchewer.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Check to see if there is an organization in your area that does home health care. Someone comes to my house about every 4-6 weeks for a check-up. My Advantage plan pays for it. 000
Therese Rosted @theresemr.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I just got Medicare two years ago. I live in a isolated area of northern California where healthcare workers just don’t seem to stay. Perhaps it’s the lack of money they earn or the homeless and drug addicts and depression. My “Dr. screensaver” is my lifeline to getting my medications. 💊 111

upstatemike29b.bsky.social @upstatemike29b.bsky.social · 21/02/2025 This is the beginning of the end for Trump’s cult followers. 130
mjk4mj.bsky.social @mjk4mj.bsky.social · 21/02/2025A gift for big oil and/or Musk's robo taxis (Musk will get a sweet government contract for transportation). Sending old people out into the freezing cold when an appointment can more easily be done online. Trump is wasting people's time and money, it's why he is a failed business person. 000

Steven Lupo @stevenlupo.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Oddly, this hurts rural (red) states the most. Driving 50 or 100 miles to a doctors office is a challenge in rural America. FAFO, I guess 🤷🏽♂️ 091
Jack Kliever @silverhorseman.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Besides the inconvenience, there is a health care provider shortage. This will make it harder to get an appointment at all. This will tend to reduce routine care costs, but that just increases critical care costs. It will cost more overall. 000
KJ @kjpesq.bsky.social · 22/02/2025When will you all understand that? They want the older people to die. They don't want to pay for the elderly. The elderly don't pay as much in taxes because they don't work. The elderly don't buy as many products to fill the coffers of the billionaires. The death panels have always been here. 000
Winter02 @winter02.bsky.social · 21/02/2025So sorry. In the UK we’re doing the reverse. I was treated for Covid by the Virtual Ward in my local NHS hospital. Antivirals and oxyimeter couriered to me and regular phone calls to record my symptoms and results. 010
