RFK Jr. has now officially stated that he will dismantle the United States Preventive ServicesTask Force (USPSTF).
This is an independent body of expert scientists who volunteer their time to review data and provide guidance to Americans on important things like cancer screenings.
Sometimes I think surgery is able to reduce incarcerated hernias or paraphimoses because they just push harder
He left it to me as one of his final wishes. Meant a lot to me to mean a lot to Brian to be entrusted with the site. He even joked that it should hopefully be easier than taking care of his actual children.
He asked me to hold onto it and hopefully find its rightful heir who wants to keep it going.
I mean does it matter if the nursing home closes due to Medicaid funding
Am also actual “mid” as the kids say too
I’m thinking physicians could still prescribe this off label, right? But obviously just sows more vaccine doubt.
When I play roulette I don’t bet on Red or Black. My chips always go right to Seth
i read it every day!
Most people tune out when doctors rage about prior auth, opaque pricing, or middlemen sucking value out of the system. Except @mcuban.bsky.social.
Where we all see complexity, he sees opportunity. And he trusts doctors. Full episode:

"The relationship between doctors and insurance companies has become an abusive one." — Dr. Elisabeth Potter who went viral after posting about United Healthcare's prior auth practices online

This feels like a Parkland shooting moment. If Americans don't care about dead kids we aren't gonna get gun control.
If they don't care about their OWN DEAD KIDS then I'm not sure how you fight back against that
Amazing! Congrats Quinn! That's not an easy feat to accomplish!
We've massively lost the ability to perform critical thinking
We've massively lost the ability to spot incorrect and misinformation
And we have so much information at our fingertips yet lack the ability to know if said information actually answers the question we have
Agree Saikat. We desperately need change, but right now it’s change in the wrong direction. Dems should run on fixing healthcare. It’s 20% of the economy and everyone agrees it’s broken, except for payers
this is insane
"Correlation now equals causation"
At this point it's no longer a Center for Disease Control
Other countries socialize their medical problems. America medicalizes its social problems.
But but but vitamin A, Ryan

I love it when @joho.bsky.social calls out @ucsfhealth.bsky.social docs lamenting Trump's attacks on NIH and CDC, like @anilmakam.bsky.social , @ewidera.bsky.social, and Monica Gandhi, after having amplified the misinformation that got us here. sciencebasedmedicine.org/ucsfapathy/
Great article!
Healthcare barely skates by on a 0-4% margin most years. Flu shots help keep that margin positive most of the time.
No flu shots = no more healthcare system. Look at how over-run we were this year when vaccination rates were down only about 5% from prior years (and prior years also had less flu)
Why can't you say BOMB at an airport but you can threaten nurses in a hospital? In the past week:
1) Nurse was beaten in Florida
2) HCWs tied up and wounded at an ICU at UPMC
3) ER doc and staff stabbed in Chicago
Why are threats to TSA more serious than threats to healthcare workers?
Write bills that GOP must actively shoot down
Anyone in Alabama State Gov or with a large employer in the state ?
You are getting RIPPED off by PBMs.
