EMTALA requires universal care for “emergency medical conditions” regardless of a person’s insurance status.

In the decades since its passage, some patients have died hours after failing to receive care they were legally entitled to.

Psychiatric Hospitals Turn Away Patients Who Need Urgent Care. The Facilities Face Few Consequences.
Discharging patients who are at risk of harming themselves or others is illegal. But dozens of psychiatric hospitals aren’t honoring the law — and the government isn’t following up.

GOP lawmakers want to nationalize Medicaid work requirements to offset Trump’s proposed tax cuts. Georgia is the only state with such a mandate. Its experience shows that the federal effort could threaten health care for nearly 16 million Americans & cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.

Three colleagues are being placed on PIPs today, and
@propublica.org management has refused to allow stewards in those meetings. We're not shutting up about this — our colleagues deserve better and we're extremely disappointed in management for denying us this basic union right.
1/4 UPDATE: This week, @propublica.org management informed a third bargaining unit member that they will be placed on a performance improvement plan and denied steward representation at the meeting where it is discussed. Our full statement 👇

A 15-year-old opened fire at Abundant Life Christian School.

A month later, a 17-year-old killed a classmate at Antioch High School.

According to researchers, both were active in the same online networks that glorify mass shooters.
