A President who did so much for global public health . Launched PEPFAR that has saved probably 30 million lives. Invested heavily in pandemic preparedness and biosecurity risk mitigation. And a lot more. The world is better for his leadership.
Happy 79th birthday to the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush!

One of the ways America has made the world a better place is in global public health. American ingenuity and generosity has saved literally hundreds of millions of lives. No other country comes close. Yet too much of the left denies it and the right works to undermine it.
America hasn’t been perfect. It’s made grave mistakes. But there is no country that has ever done more for improving the world. It breaks my heart how unappreciative Americans across the ideological spectrum are of that. Much of the left rejects we’ve ever been good for the.

One way most Americans will feel the OBBB law is through crowded ERs. No, not because uninsured folks will flood ERs. But because the law will close a lot of nursing homes. Which will create a backlog in the system overcrowding ERs. I explain in @time.

True words from America’s doctors. We want more people covered, not less.
Today is a sad and harmful day for patients and health care across the country, and its impact will reverberate for years. This bill moves us in the wrong direction. It will make it harder to access care and make patients sicker because the lifelines of Medicaid and CHIP are.

17 million Americans will lose their health insurance. 600 nursing homes and hundreds of rural hospitals will shut down. We will put a lot more pollution into the air causing more asthma, heart attacks, and strokes. So what is our Health Secretary tweeting about?.
.@Hersheys just pledged to eliminate synthetic dyes from its candy by the end of 2027. I call on all other companies to follow their lead and help Make America Healthy Again.

Not great people. Not great for seniors who need nursing homes. Not great for their families . Not great for people who use hospitals that will now get much more crowded . Just not great.
A new analysis led by @Brown_SPH's @FangliGeng and Vince Mor (@themoruknow) shows Medicaid cuts could force nearly 600 nursing homes -- many serving low-income, high-need residents -- to close.
