One does not have to practice medicine to understand that a bad faith action, like the Tuskegee experiment, will poison trust for untold generations. Does Kennedy have that kind of understanding?

Patients are going to die: from lack of healthcare, vaccines, medications, public health.
We at @drsforamerica.bsky.social stand with #NoKingsDayOct18th to put #PatientsOverPolitics & #StandUpForScience
49 years is too long. The Hyde Amendment has robbed people of abortion coverage for nearly half a century. It’s time to end it. #EndHyde #AbortionJustice #PatientsOverPolitics
On Medical Bias
Medicine should heal, not judge. When doctors choose bias over science, patients pay with their lives.

What are vaccines?
This toolkit is designed to provide clear, evidence-based information about how vaccines work, the different types available, and why they’re essential for public health.

Last week, our Copello Fellows—past and present—came together to celebrate the graduating cohort and their powerful Capstone projects. A testament to the impact of healthcare advocates in action. #PatientsOverPolitics

Late entry: last week the PA Chapter @drsforamerica met because there is LOT of work to #PatientsOverPolitics (hey @PaLegis: how about you pass HB 404, HB 535, HB 618 & HB 755 to protect ALL PA healthcare???).
It may be summer, but we're in session-JOIN US.
On Medicare & Medicaid’s 60th anniversary, they’re under attack. The OBBBA slashes $1 TRILLION from Medicaid, millions could lose coverage and 1+ million low-income Medicare enrollees could face higher costs.
We can’t let 60 years of progress be erased.

Incredibly proud of Dr. Barot who spoke out publicly about the devastating impact ICE raids are having on their immigrant patients and communities. It takes courage to use your voice when silence feels safer.
This is what brave advocacy looks like. 🩺 #PatientsOverPolitics

1 in 5 people in the U.S. rely on Medicaid.
Cutting it means cutting care for kids, parents, the elderly, the disabled & the working poor.
Tell Congress: We will remember your vote.
Vote NO on OBBBA. #SaveMedicaid #PatientsOverPolitics
Today, we honor Juneteenth — a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for justice. Health equity is racial justice. Let’s continue the work. #Juneteenth #PatientsOverPolitics
Just wrapped up a Fly-In with passionate docs who are making the case for #PatientsOverPolitics We make change-join us!
On 5/13, the House E&C Committee will be exacting Medicaid cuts. Ironically, the plan that will harm so many families, children, seniors and caregivers was released on Mother's Day! How does that make America healthy again? Please call your Members of Congress (202) 224-3121. #PatientsOverPolitics
HANDS OFF SCIENCE! HANDS OFF HEALTHCARE!
Last weekend, our members showed up and spoke out at rallies demanding protections for the care our communities depend on.

We had another incredible PA Chapter @drsforamerica.bsky.social meeting yesterday!
There is a LOT going on in PA-if you're a doc or med student, *join us.* Your voice is important in putting #PatientsOverPolitics
Dr. Oz’s conflicts of interest and false health claims undermine trust in Medicare and Medicaid. We need leaders who prioritize public health—not personal gain. #HealthCareForAll #PatientsOverPolitics
#ScienceCat Maxwell needed a little reassurance that things will be OK.

Kennedy takes no responsibility for lives lost & lives risked.
From measles deaths, to cutting local public health programs, to the propagation of deadly misinformation there is no accountability.
Ignoring the truth does not erase the truth.

With #ACASavesLives trending, thought I would bring my out my sign from the Women’s March of 2017. It was signed by everyone in my medical office and my grandchildren. Just as relevant today with healthcare coverage is again under threat.

Is it fair to offer a drug as a glimmer of hope to a child with muscular dystrophy when the data is not there? Or should there be greater transparency in FDA decision making including transparency of payments by Pharma to patient advocates and rationale for overruling advisors?
#PatientsOverPolitics
we are seeing one promise come true - Kennedy has "gone wild" on the US health system.
No matter the noise generated by the wildness, we will be assessing the impact on our patients, & we will continue to speak out when our patients are put at risk.

Weldon posted that “Big Pharma” is behind his nomination being pulled.
In reality, a coalition that believes the CDC should serve public health actually made the difference.
We will evaluate the replacement nominee as carefully as we did Weldon.
