When mental health funding is cut and “resilience” becomes the only official plan 🫠

Prior Authorization sounds harmless — until it delays the care you need 🩺
It’s a policy that requires doctors to get permission from insurance companies before prescribing certain treatments, scans, or medications. On paper, it’s meant to control costs and prevent unnecessary care.

💻 6.7 million seniors rely on telehealth.
But with key flexibilities expired and no long-term extension in sight, access is slipping away.
Because nothing says ‘functioning system’ like limiting care options for older adults who need it most.

🦊 Big truth from a small fox: healthcare access still isn’t universal.
Telehealth helped close critical gaps in care, especially for rural and underserved communities. But with the government now shut down, those hard-won gains are at risk.
