Great piece! Do y’all happen to have data on the freq of Medicaid enrollees who vote? I imagine it’s probably high for Medicare enrollees, but the former I’m not so sure, and I imagine it’s exceedingly low, hence why they can be so cruel.

When I testified to the US Senate a few years ago, I said a lot of this, too. AL will never expand Medicaid. Rural hospitals closing everywhere. Medicaid cuts hurt rural Rs the most. I think lawmakers count on that subgroup not voting, not being able to vote, or voting against their self interest.

True. It was remarkable. There are several things to learn. I agree, my favorite part was watching JeffCo votes come in at the very end and that NYT ticket swing in Jones’s favor. I was cheering! The shift since then is disturbing. Level of opponent insanity won’t be enough anymore here.

Anand Iyer, MD, MSPH @anandiyermd.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
And Jones still barely won by 21k votes. 🤯 That’s what I walked away with and was scared by that election. The vast majority of the ALGOP base could vote for Moore despite everything. It took that level of insanity just to pull a small number of votes away.

I built a clinic for people with serious 🫁 disease who little to no insurance. This week, I spent tons of time after clinic to get a Medicaid prior auth approved for 1 inhaler that has kept my patient with COPD stable. I’ll go through the gauntlet for my patients, but why do I have to?!

These are great ideas. I question broad applicability. I don’t routinely cuff leak or NIF. Maybe in select cases, eg. Airway obstruction or Myasthenia, respectively. But even then, cuff leak may not be helpful. I’ll find that data.

My family has worked primary care in the Deep South for decades & as a pulmonologist I help historically disadvantaged populations with lung disease. Our area is the buckle of every chronic disease belt & converging racial/socioeconomic disparities & glaring gaps in healthcare access. It’s tough.

Many of us are working hard here in the Deep South to help people but need a lot more help! Our area is the buckle of nearly every chronic disease belt (CAD, diabetes, COPD, etc) alongside converging racial and socioeconomic disparities and glaring gaps in healthcare access. It’s tough.

Clinically we see palliative care still not getting to all who need it & across the continuum, despite major calls to action. We demonstrated that by comparing palliative care b/w COPD, IPF, & lung cancer. Not disseminating. journal.chestnet.org/article/S001... @pallipulm.bsky.social #pallipulm
