🧵on the GOP #MedicaidMassacre

This bill will hurt tens of millions of people. Seniors and folks in rural America will be the hardest hit. But we will all suffer.

Because I have a background in healthcare, I though it important to lay out the real stakes for this cowardly act by Trump and the GOP.
House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.

I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

The thing about destroying NIH is NIH’s scale in medical research just dwarfs everyone else.

For ex, in 2023 the American Cancer Society gave out $64.5 million worth of grants. Sounds big, right?
But NIH’s budget was $49 billion. With a B.

Kill NIH and the floor drops out of US science.
HHS might as well be wrapping a wire around a piece of metal and running a current through it and see what happens.

This account is for sharing info with US scientists, both extramural and intramural to NIH, about attacks on science in the US.

Education is power, and we can help advocate for science and medicine together. 💪🧪

We are a team of NIH people. Please ask us questions you might have.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Every time someone tries to claim that professors are "the elite," remind them that higher ed is largely a gig economy now thanks to right wing economics.
