What is clear: Musk and Ramaswamy’s DOGE is eying health-care cuts, as they publicly float some ideas and privately get briefed on issues such as alleged fraud in the Affordable Care Act marketplaces.
Will it matter? Some serious people are taking DOGE seriously. Wrote a bit about that too.

Here’s that full conversation from July 2017 with @benwikler.bsky.social, as he discussed the tactics to slow down a Republican health-care repeal bill that was initially seen as inevitable.

Thinking of this convo because Wikler — who became chair of Wisconsin’s Democratic party — this weekend launched a bid for national DNC chair. (And the ACA repeal fight helped put him on the national map.)
If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵
Unite. Fight. Win.

Generally, pediatricians aren’t ready for this.
The generations that placed those diseases high in a DDx &/or could recognize them instantly are dead or retired.
Mid-levels aren’t ready, either.
