As an ER doctor, I treat people when other systems fail. Now, we're watching those systems get dismantled on purpose: 20,000 jobs slashed at HHS. Vaccine and prevention programs gutted. And Congressional Republicans voting to cut Medicaid to fund billionaire tax breaks. 1/10

Slashing 20,000 HHS jobs is reckless. Pairing that with Medicaid cuts? That’s not reform—it’s sabotage. You don’t “fix” healthcare by gutting its core. People will suffer. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

The reduction in force comes along with a reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services, consolidating 28 divisions to 15.

As an ER doc in a rural community for nearly 25 years, Trump’s admission that he is going back on his promise to “not cut Medicaid” is alarming. Here’s why we cannot let it blend into the “noise” of all of his actions. And a bit on what we can do about it. 1/13

Listen to a good Republican from the Deep South, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, when it comes to the confirmation of RFK Jr to head up all of our health care-related agencies.

Picture of Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana) with a quote from him about Robert F Kennedy Jr's anti-vax position: "If there is any false note, any undermining of a mama’s trust in vaccines, another person will die from a vaccine-preventable disease."

So now we hear from RFK Jr. that his kids are vaccinated, but he has made millions spreading disinformation, and even accosting mothers on hiking trails, trying to convince others not to vaccinate their kids. Disqualified for Sec of HHS.

To my clinician followers: Do you share personal stories with patients as they relate to their medical condition? With women experiencing miscarriages, I share my wife’s experience and my experience having 4 miscarriages among 3 healthy kids. Feels like it helps make a connection. But never sure.

100% Dr. Rob's logical points. He made some good points before to Pence on medicaid "improvements" Cutting medicaid results in LESS funding & LESS care. This isn't "oversimplifying". But Dr. Oz will surely explain plans to "help" sick people with "improvements"....shudder. youtu.be/LfRHVA4PjHg?...
