We did it! Thanks to you, we stopped a bad bill in the Colorado legislature this year. Now we need to keep working until every Coloradan can afford their prescription drugs. #LowerDrugPricesNow
Victory for affordable drugs in Colorado! Senate Bill 140 did not pass. Protect the Prescription Drug Affordability Board's work to lower the cost of medications for hardworking Coloradans.

Virginians need lower drug prices now! This is Governor Spanberger's chance to help us out. Tim's story: virginiapoliticalnewsletter.substack.com/i/196554280/... Ask @abigailspanberger.com to sign the Affordable Medicine Act into law: actionnetwork.org/letters/take...
The excessive costs and uncertainty of my prescription drugs are challenging, even with good insurance. I’m many years away from Medicare, and there’s no mechanism for me to get help in paying for the medications I need right now to thrive and stay alive.Under the Affordable Medicine Act, Medicare’s Maximum Fair Prices (MFPs) on 25 drugs would be extended to hundreds of thousands of Virginians, including a lower price for Eliquis, whose price was reduced by 65% under the negotiations.
This is Governor Spanberger’s chance to deliver on her affordability agenda and help us out. I’m calling on her to do the right thing for Virginians like me, and lower our drug prices by signing this bill.

Casey Means is unqualified to be America's top doctor. Pass it on.
As a former U.S. Surgeon General who held an active medical license and practiced medicine while in the role (at Walter Reed and aboard the USS Comfort) it is incomprehensible that the Senate is even considering a nominee for this role who lacks any active license and has never practiced unsupervised.

Any senator who votes to confirm Casey Means as Surgeon General is putting loyalty to Trump over the health & lives of Americans. Plain and simple: They don't care about you.

There are 1,018,892 licensed physicians in the United States. And the Trump regime has chosen an unlicensed “influencer” who isn’t board certified and dropped out of her residency to be Surgeon General.

Dr Jen Gunter - If pregnancy were a medication it would have a huge black box warning.

Casey Means does not care about your health. She is uniquely unqualified to opine on hormonal contraception or vaccines or anything else.

Nominating her is nothing more than [an] attack on science and will contribute to the erosion of health care for women.

Casey Means is a wellness influencer not a doctor, and is unqualified to be America's top doctor. Pass it on. @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social
Casey Means’ confirmation hearing is over.
My impressions:
Means has zero understanding of or concern for the most vulnerable people in the US.
Means will absolutely not promote vaccination or in any way push back on RFK Jr.
Means doesn’t understand public health at all.
Means is unqualified.
Republicans will confirm her anyway.

RFK Jr. is a human public health catastrophe, and his aggressive ignorance will be responsible for countless deaths here and globally. @irwinredlener.bsky.social Pass it on.
What?!?! HHS Secretary RFK, Jr. asserted that MMR vaccines contain "aborted fetal parts" to explain why some Mennonites refuse vaccines. We know Kennedy is a crazed conspiracist, but he's using his position to spread outright lies. He's a human public health catastrophe and, mark my words, his aggressive ignorance will be responsible for countless deaths here and globally. - Irwin Redlener, M.D.

RFK is HHS Secretary. Brace yourself. We already have a measles outbreak in Texas, tuberculosis in Kansas, and bird flu everywhere. Stay alert and informed.
RFK Jr. is HHS Secretary: Science, brace yourself. The same person who has spent years undermining vaccines, farming, food safety, agriculture technology, public health institutions, and biomedical science is now in charge of the agency that oversees them. For those of us who work in biomedical science, medicine, public health, and science communication, we saw this catastrophe coming. And yet, here we are. - Dr. Andrea Love

RFK Jr. as the head of health & human services: this is a dark day in America. But the fight to protect our care and make health care in America more affordable and available for all continues.
RFK Jr,. a man who has spent 40 years eroding scientific trust, erasing public health, spreading conspiracy theories, and making millions of dollars from those activities is going to be the next HHS Secretary. This is beyond hypocrisy. This is dangerous. For us, for the planet, for the future of scientific inquiry, for other countries around the globe. This will cause immediate and future harms. For so many people. And that is not hyperbole. - Dr. Andrea Love

RFK Jr. vaccinated his own children. He just doesn't want you to be able to vaccinate yours.
I have known Bobby my whole life; we grew up together.. He himself is a predator. Bobby preys on the desperation of parents of sick children, vaccinating his own kids while building a following, hypocritically discouraging other parents from vaccinating theirs. -Caroline Kennedy

RFK Jr. gutting medical research in America will have a worldwide effect. Without that research, treatments and cures will not be found. People will suffer, and some may even die that could have been saved. RFK Jr. is not the person for the job. @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social Pass it on.
RFK Jr. is anti-vaccine. RFK Jr. wants to cut vital research. RFK Jr. has no science expertise. RFK Jr. is opposed by thousands of scientists and healthcare workers. RFK Jr. is not the person for the job. -Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD

RFK Jr. plans to fire 600 NIH employees and replace them with people he prefers. @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social How much progress will be lost, how many Americans waiting for cures will lose out on scientific research paused or cancelled that could save them? Pass it on.
It's really difficult to hear that RFK Jr. plans to fire 600 NIH employees and replace them with people he prefers. In addition to his disgraceful plans to punish scientists who have done nothing but work their asses off for the health of everyone in the U.S., he will likely replace them with people who subscribe to his erroneous beliefs about every aspect of health and healthcare. I can't even fully convey my sadness and anger for my colleagues at the NIH. It's simply unfathomable.

"Being an anti-vaxxer is automatically disqualifying for any leadership role related to healthcare". - @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social Pass it on.
I'm frankly disgusted by all of the "RFK Jr. might acshually have good ideas except for vaccines" hot takes. Being an anti-vaxxer is automatically disqualifying for any leadership role related to healthcare, because it is the hallmark of a person who neither understands science nor respects the work of trained scientists. It is a marker of a gargantuan, untamed arrogance. -Elizabeth Jacobs Ph.D

RFK Jr. is doing what he always has done: propagate medical conspiracism to erode trust in actual facts and evidence-based medicine, while profiting from disinformation, elevating "colleagues" who sell unproven and harmful wellness products. All the while he causes immense harm to our environment, food stability, our health, and society. Dr. Andrea Love, PhD

We can't go back to the days of widespread polio and measles. Listen to @miafarrow.bsky.social #healthcare #VaccinesSaveLives #VaccinesWork
Mia Farrow: I had polio when I was 9. I was taken from my parents and placed in a hospital for contagious diseases - the polio ward. I would see them once a week - through the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Don't let RFK Jr. ban the vaccine.
