Took some time out yesterday with the Ohio @defendpublichealth.bsky.social team to deliver letters to Sen. Jon Husted's Columbus office--telling him to straighten up and stop undermining Ohio's healthcare and public health systems. Join the movement!

Pretty moved by the experience of seeing the limo JFK was killed in. Really impressed by the Henry Ford Museum.

January 6, 2025. Seems like a good day to revisit this masterpiece of writing about the US and its origins.

I’m excited about a piece I just published in Legislative Studies Quarterly with @mshepruralpolitics.bsky.social (U of Mich, School of Public Health) and my former Ohio U student, Alex Fountaine, “Physicians in Congress: Professional backgrounds and legislative effectiveness.” A bit about it:

Earlier this year, Phil Singer, @bradwrightphd.bsky.social, and I published a piece in JHPPL in which we looked at 1332 waiver activity from 2019 to 2023. We examined how the Trump administration used waivers to try to accomplish some of their #healthpolicy priorities, and how Biden reversed course.

It’s true: there are a lot of horrid health policy ideas being floated in the lead up to Trump 2.0. Many of these ideas are generating predictable and justifiable freakouts. But, as scary as these ideas are, policy isn’t a mere function of ideas.

Look at that, my new co-authored book is a "hot new release" on Amazon dot com! Buy it here - or preferably at your local bookshop - before it becomes a cool old release.

Was great to see massive turnout yesterday for the last day of early voting in Ohio. But let's remember: long lines are a feature of voter suppression.
Ohio, tomorrow we need to show up early and stay late if we need to. So much is on the line.

The most annoying thing about Mike and Fran DeWine's disingenuous and misleading TV spot is that it opens by saying that Ohioans are confused about Issue 1.
The purpose of the DeWine's ad is to confuse Ohioans. But I believe that Ohioans are not and will not be confused.
