Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off. Why? It was hurting their profits. They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown… so the Dems caved. Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy

Uninterrupted flights were the only thing the elite were concerned about when they condemned millions to unaffordable premiums, cancelled insurance plans, neglected health conditions, and death.
The end of the shutdown is a good thing for the millions of Americans that rely on SNAP benefits, those who were planning on flying next week, those who work for the government and many more.

Do we think @timkaine cares about #longCOVID now? He just threw every person who buys insurance from the #ACA health insurance exchange under the bus. Kiss reduced premiums goodbye.

People who are signing up for ACA open enrollment now through Dec 15th need to know what their insurance premium is going to cost. Don't lose your leverage on the promise of a vote after sign ups have ended. We'll lose our subsidies and the promised vote will never come.
"A promise for a vote on Obamacare subsidies in December" -- why? What's the difference between now and December? PUT IT IN THE BILL NOW AND IF THEY DON'T EVERY DEM NEEDS TO VOTE NO.

Senate Democrats, So you're going to trust the Republican party to do something on ACA subsidies when they have not done anything on health care in a DECADE? That's your genius plan? To cave now - get nothing - but a promise from people who NEVER honor their promises. WTF???
There are 11, maybe more Sen Dems who have been eager for an off-ramp. This deal would mean NO gains on ACA subsidies, not even (it seems) a guaranteed vote on extending them. Tonight's vote will not seal the shutdown deal - but if it passes, will be hard to reverse.

List price on my most recent box of Paxlovid was over $1700. I am allowed 1 of these every 6 months according to my insurance. Which means I can be treated for COVID 10 days out of 365, 2.7% of the year. They also are switching the antiviral to a higher coverage tier in 2026,
Future historians will be so confused. 🤔 "So, 4 years after developing the antivirals, they... successfully engineered a system of hurdles so complex that most people couldn't get them? No, wait, it gets even better. The records show they actively made it harder and harder…”

So they inflated a bubble by selling undelivered services to each other and now they're demanding taxpayer money or they'll crash the economy? This is extortion. Intentional manipulation.
Open AI is asking for US government bailout. We’ve been trying to tell you: AI is a bubble, it’s going to burst, and the ramifications are going to be 100x worse than the 2008 crash.

What is happening to so many COVID-conscious people has a name: social exclusion. If this is a new feeling for you, it can be incredibly confusing and painful. For many of us who have always been "outsiders," the mask is just one more reason on a long list. But now you're

Last year I started taking screenshots of posts that expressed the extraordinarily strange experiences that I, & others in our little Covid-aware corners, are having. This was the 1st; now I have 100’s. My phone is a documentary, a witness to a trauma unknown to most.

This seems to be the new playbook on Wall Street: Get big enough to where you’re a threat to bring down the financial system if you fail. Then hold the government hostage for bailouts and perks. F this guy. F this whole system

Some argue immune damage after COVID-19 is transient. This study found worse lymphopenia 10 months post–mild infection vs. 10 weeks: decreased T, B & NK cells, Th1->Th2 cytokine shift, and weak neutralizing antibodies. 👇 https://t.co/l8qbgKLVne

The ACA is imperfect but its better than nothing, and millions depend on it. Millions have structured their finances for decades around it. To yank that rug out overnight is devastating. Millions will die. There must be a plan to replace it first. And there's not.
The ACA was a compromise. It exists not because it was the best possible or cheapest approach to healthcare, but it was the only viable plan to pass politically. We need a healthcare system that makes living your best longest healthiest life truly affordable and fair.

I've described myself as existing in third person as a means of living with chronic illness. It's not dissociation, but as my own doctor/researcher observer and as imagination as meditation to escape the suffering. I've read Frankl's book, and recommend it to everyone.
"Those of us w #ChronicIllness often feel like we’re living out our twilight years, even though we may only be 20. Many of us can’t #work full-time or even part-time, and struggle with #pain from the moment we wake, until we go to bed again": https://t.co/WKz1bhlkAn

Yes, I know early voting at the Board of Elections was likely available, but I've been sick for a month with reactivated Lyme. I should have forced myself to go anyway because this new voting location was cramped and full of people, including mean ones like Ms Sneezy.

America 🇺🇸 where exercising your right to vote leads to assault by intentional sneezes while wearing a mask at the polls. 😷 Disabled voters aren't welcome here. I just wanted to vote for my artist friend who was running for city council, but that vote shouldn't be dangerous.

by extended antivirals, mAbs, or interferon, not patients who died because they were neglected by the system. The same system who dissected their body after death, analyzing viral genetics, in a procedure that was so costly that the funds could have bought lots of Paxlovid. 🤬

...and then I honor that person's memory, and pray their suffering will be a blessing to the rest of us because a doctor did use their death to teach. But how many more papers about deaths do we need? Give me case studies about patients who were saved...

Every time I see another one of these research papers, about a person with primary immune deficiency who died from chronic COVID only to be memorialized in a medical journal, I am enraged. How many more of us need to be sacrificed til we can get sufficient antiviral treatment? 🧵
NIH scientists analyzed 27 tissues from a man with immune deficiency who died of COVID-19 and found SARS-CoV-2 variants evolving in different organs. Most mutations hit the spike protein and helped the virus bind more tightly to human cells. https://t.co/eki8vHEHSe
