Someone just told me about the #periodt trend so I looked it up and the search engine was like “did you mean periodontal disease?” Because the internet knows I’m old and is trying to steer me in the right direction.

In today's East Oregonian pediatrician @wendyhassonmd.bsky.social and I write how Medicaid cuts hurt Oregonians. Oregonians don’t want to save money by losing healthcare. Ask Rep. Bentz, who voted yes, what his plan is to keep Oregonians healthy in light of these extreme cuts that he supported😡

This is a wonky process but BIG news regarding the Republican budget bill: My staff successfully got multiple provisions removed from the bill. Two key wins: 1) Medicaid provider tax. Striking this means Republicans have to backtrack on hundreds of billions in Medicaid cuts.

The scary truth is that cutting #Medicaid coverage doesn’t just hurt children on Medicaid. It doesn’t just hurt poor children. It doesn’t just hurt children with disabilities. Cutting Medicaid hurts ALL children. www.facebook.com/share/15jvbb...

People are rightfully worried that the gutting of #ACIP will result in insurance NOT covering vaccines. I don’t see that happening. Vaccines prevent costly illnesses/ hospitalizations. If there is ONE thing that motivates insurance companies to do the right thing, it’s saving $

Good thing we can rely on safety net hospitals when kids get sick from these decisions…. Until #Medicaid is CUT. #Pediatric beds CUT. Trained staff CUT. Transport CUT. Watch what happens when you pull the rug out from both preventative care and hospital care at the same time.

Why should you care about #Medicaid even if YOU don’t use Medicaid? B/c cutting it will result in closure of #pediatric services for ALL kids. Imagine a bakery that sells 🥧 . If 50% of patrons can’t pay for 🥧 , then you can’t stay in business to bake for patrons that CAN pay.

Medicaid cuts don’t just hurt kids w/ disabilities. They hurt ALL children. 50% are insured by Medicaid/CHIP. If Medicaid falls,services will fall like dominos, limiting the availability of #pediatric resources to everyone, even those with private insurance/cash pay. The system will collapse.

1/ Timely discussion at #SCCM2025 about pediatric influenza necrotizing encephalopathy. We are seeing more this season and is proving to be rapid & deadly. Take home points: -elevated IL-6 and plasma and CSF - flu + altered mental status = CT scan. We will overscan, but pts survive if caught early
