"From exploiting people’s love for fried chicken, to exploiting people’s need for health care, to exploiting the criminal justice system, Jack Massey led quite a life. Rest in profit, Jack."
The ACA is NOT what started the privatization of healthcare; it was an attempt to correct for it and provide healthcare for Americans at a time when public healthcare had fallen so far out of favor that the idea of rolling back privatization was considered "impossible".

The Texas measles outbreak is heading in the wrong direction.
We need urgent, aggressive community engagement, expanded testing, and scaled-up vaccination efforts to contain it before it gets worse.

love that someone who sold "no vax no problem" infant onesies is now in charge of healthcare
Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.

Important thread on the U.S. funding structure that supports lifesaving biomedical and public health research and practice.
1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.
