This "supply side" formula presents nothing new, & would only intensify flaws & injustices of our healthcare system It's pure magical thinking: "unleash competition" & the market will do the rest In truth: uninsurance & underinsurance will soar â & patients' health will suffer
We donât need another âreplace the ACAâ white paper. We need to remove the rules that make competition illegal and prices invisible. 1.Repeal the physician-owned hospital ban so specialists can build and expand facilities again. 2.Abolish CON laws so incumbents canât veto

Over 12 states have laws allowing foreign-trained doctors to practice without repeating residency here. Those laws depend on H-1Bs. Without it, they are dead on arrival. Read more on why the H-1B executive order should alarm anyone who cares about rural health. đ in next tweet.

the physician profession & our healthcare system are not trustworthy because we bankrupt our patients & communities to our own enrichment & do nothing to change it. this is why we have the MAHA movement. save your tears.

I donât know whatâs radicalized me more the last few years: watching Palestinian kids being burned alive by Israel, people dying from and being disabled by covid, or realizing that all the major political parties are basically the same and weâre really on our own to change shit.

We have 50,000+ people living in the streets dying of heat stroke and eating out of garbage cans. But $25 million on it's way so the LAPD can shoot journalists and protesters holding up "Families Belong Together" signs up at 4pm. Disgusting.
L.A. approves $5M loan to cover L.A.P.D. overtime from anti-ICE protests, part of nearly $20M spent. The city is already facing a $1B budget shortfall. #LosAngeles #LAPD #ICEprotests

BREAKING: LAPD caught on video beating an elderly man with a baton after declaring the protest an âunlawful assembly.â The only thing unlawful here is a badge being used as a weapon. This is not law enforcement. This is state violenceâplain and simple. If this footage came out

Grateful for the endorsement of @SEIU Healthcare's Committee of Interns and Residents. Every New Yorkerâfrom those just beginning their careers here to those with firmly planted rootsâshould be able to afford life in this city. As mayor, that'll be my fight.

1/ @MaxJordan_N Was raked over the coals for 2 basic truths: 1) high paid proceduralists are paid 5-10x as much as primary care w/o 5-10x the training or value. 2) Medicaid provides lifesaving care. @DrDiGiorgio was thinks vouchers or cash subsidies will cut it as a replacement.
