I agree- I said that - we would all love to have these results

But it’s hard to believe these results match this individual- at a minimum I do believe he has benefited from modern science given his medication regimen which is pretty aggressive for cholesterol

he is on 2 agents for his cholesterol including a statin and a newer class of drugs some of which was developed with nih dollars

so he is indeed a product of modern research/ science - how long that will last in the us - who knows?

this is great!

10/ Let your Elected officials know that this is not the country you care about, the country you want to make sure is still standing for future generations. Let them hear you LOUD and OFTEN.

9/ The Trade-Offs 🔄
Cuts fund $4.5T tax breaks (corporate rate drops 21%→15%)

Debt ceiling raised by $4T

But GOP Reps in CA/TX/PA districts warn: 30% of Medicaid recipients are Hispanic → rural clinics close

8/ Federal Workers & Students 📉
$500B cut to federal pensions → Retirees lose $300+/month

Student loan forgiveness at risk:
→ 500k+ borrowers could see relief reversed1
→ Pell Grants slashed (cuts to Education Committee)

7/SNAP: Basic Food to avert Hunger

$230B cut to Agriculture Committee (runs SNAP)

Impact: 42M+ Americans face:
→ Stricter income caps (e.g., family of 4 earning >$40k loses benefits)
→ Reduced monthly benefits (avg. $6/day/person → $4.75)

Real world examples 🔍 #BudgetCuts

$2.3T reduction over 10 years could force states to:
→ Drop dental/vision coverage 💊
→ Close rural hospitals (200+ at risk)
→ Kick 15M+ off rolls via work requirements

5/Both chambers will have to come together through a committee that includes R and D to agree on a final resolution that will have to pass both H before end of March.

4/ Senate already passed their version Friday morning (out of frustration from delays in the House)-a $340 billion budget blueprint designed to boost funding for President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement efforts, energy production and the military- very different than House package

3/Today: $2 trillion in spending cuts that could potentially impact Medicaid and other key health care programs. The proposal also allows for up to $4.5 trillion in spending for tax cuts and would raise the debt ceiling by $4 trillion.
details here: docs.house.gov/meetings/BU/...

2/ Congress agrees on a budget resolution with “reconciliation instructions” – like telling committees:
“Cut $X from healthcare” or “Raise $Y via taxes.”
But not HOW to do it. Today this is what passed the House:

100000 %- I hope they are listening.

you are right
i haven’t felt this level of pain and stress for our country in a long time - i will make sure to step up and do more frequent posts and will talk to @vinguptamd.bsky.social about something more organized

bottom line- we got you

some noteworthy areas/ section 5(iii) taking a stab at ssri / glp-1 and a number of other drugs

note the theme of working for affordable+better healthcare - all great ideas but just one problem/ you need people in agencies who have faith in leaders and real leaders. not sure we have any of those
