Telehealth isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. For many of my patients with Long COVID and disabilities, in-person visits are exhausting, inaccessible, or simply not feasible. Removing telehealth coverage means denying care to those who need it most. We must protect access to virtual care.

Masking is a disability rights issue. Not wearing a mask in crowded spaces automatically excludes many disabled people from accessing the world. I just want disabled people to be able to leave the house.

america refuses to acknowledge disability because it will be forced to address the fact that most people's jobs are actively driving them to become disabled

Reading how Anthem Blue Cross deployed AI to optimize claim denials & improve profitability has inspired me. Who’d like to help build an AI company to automate & optimize patient claim recovery & legal action versus immoral and medically unsound insurance claim denials?

If anyone's looking to prove to me that they're "Safe," wearing an N95 when you're out in public is a real start w/ material rather than performative benefits. Bonus: the fash have already proved they're unlikely to try to false-flag co-opt it, but if they do then at least they'll be fucking masking

A simple and powerful act of resistance is to PUT ON A MASK. Many leftists couldn’t wait to abandon COVID mitigations and policies - tossing people like my to the wayside and making society completely unsafe. We already have mask bans in the U.S. Normalize community care now!

If you are in the U.S. & are an adult w/ a disability (including LC) or the caretaker of someone w/ a disability, the government wants to hear about barriers to healthcare. This is a great opportunity to talk about masks & clean air, as well as any other concerns gaosurvey.gao.gov/jfe/form/SV_...

There is no neutrality in this fight; if you don’t stand up for disabled people’s right to public spaces, you are advocating for COVID’s unchallenged right to reign over them all. #covidisnotover Out of control COVID means permanent segregation for many disabled people
