41% of births in America are paid for by Medicaid. A large majority take place in county hosp. Do these legislators believe these births just stop happening? Are the deliveries less complicated if they fail to receive prenatal care bc they don’t qualify for Medicaid early? The hosp will close too.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

"I don't know anything about it" In a functioning democracy, Hegseth would resign and Trump would be impeached over this. OVER JUST THIS.

This is exactly what happened to me, except that my story ends with a near death experience and an emergency D&C after transfusion. Pregnant women in Texas are in danger. And I worry most about Black women who experience medical racism. www.propublica.org/article/pors...

A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments.
Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Texas women are dying. We have been screaming it from the rooftops, but we finally have data to prove this…The Christian Taliban doesn’t care. The cruelty IS the point. They take their mistresses and daughters out of the state and always have. Hypocrisy is a lifestyle for these people.

Lisa murkowski is/was/will be one of the biggest disappointments in the history of the US Senate. You can’t play footsie w leopards and then act surprised when a leopard eats your face. Moderate republicans own this travesty and the misery it has brought to our country. They could have aborted it.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

I’ve been an attending for 24+yrs and I cried all the way home last Tuesday. From clinic. Sometimes what we do is carry the weight so that others can walk out a little lighter… and that weight has to dissipate a bit before we get home or it transfers to those we love. Let it out.

These numbers are higher in Texas. What are rural hospitals (those that are left) going to do to make up for this loss? They won’t. They will close. The patients don’t go away. The county hospital will still see them. The hospital just won’t be paid. Do Cornyn and Cruz understand this?

As physicians we pay a lot of taxes (more than Elon and Trump and Bezos!), but we don’t mind if the $$ is being spent on education, infrastructure, and healthcare. Because as physicians, we care for the welfare of other humans. #Medsky

Women in Texas are fighting for their lives against the Christian Taliban. When will the data finally penetrate their delusion? Will it really take one of their loved ones dying to change these archaic laws?

Apparently in addition to super high levels of flu everywhere, which is bad enough, the CDC is also now investigating cases of flu related acute necrotizing encephalitis in children. Get vaccinated y’all.
