RFK Jr’s views are a public health threat. This cuts to the heart of the matter… Senator Wyden: "Are you lying to Congress today when you say you're pro-vaccine, or did you lie on all those podcasts?" Answer: RFK Jr. is a known liar and should be disqualified.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time. No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient. www.propublica.org/article/the-...

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

Last week the state of Louisiana's health department was deliberately undermining vaccine recommendations. This week LA is leading the country in flu cases & overwhelmed hospitals. When you reject common sense pivlic health guidance the people suffer not politicians. www.google.com/amp/s/wgno.c...

Telehealth increases healthcare access for many and should not be a causality of our political mess. Medicare is set to stop paying for Telehealth as of 12/31/24 unless an extension or revision of policy is passed. Healthcare is already a mess- this will only make things worse.

Telehealth groups call for urgent action as Medicare flexibility deadline looms
A sweeping funding bill that would have preserved the pandemic-era policies for two years was derailed by President-elect Donald Trump, less than two weeks before the flexibilities are set to expire.
