At the federal level, the lack of a recommendation further erodes trust in ACIP & our federal institutions. When patients get mixed messages from institutions that were once trusted, it creates uncertainty & fear without context, which is the main problem.

The best way to continue to change hearts and minds is by telling our real-life stories, & translating the impact of policy on actual lives. We can’t give up after this HR 1 fight. We all lose when we stop resisting injustice & cruelty. Turn that anger into motivation to speak up. @wsna.bsky.social

These two nurses could be deciding vote on HR 1.
If they vote yes, then they will need to answer to their profession & constituents about why they voted to take away healthcare access from millions.
Nurses please call Rep. Kiggans & Rep. Sheri Biggs before the vote!

Shame! Yes she got kickbacks, but she doesn’t realize that Alaskans still depend on a stable & accessible system in WA. Harborview Seattle is Alaska’s closest Level 1 facility. She may feel she is helping Alaska, but she is hurting the state that Alaskans need to function well to access vital care.

Now the focus needs to be on preventing the new ACIP (clearly chosen based on ideological bias) from harming patients.

Wow! Just made it worse!
Nurses & docs would never get away with saying this to a patient that can’t afford a treatment or diagnostic test. Humans do die at some point, but they shouldn’t die because of your reckless vote in the Senate.

Thank you @aodnewz.bsky.social w/ @thehill.com for this reporting. "Informed decision making" is a part of what clinicians do in any scenario, weighing risk vs. benefit, & individualizing options for patients. It will be interesting to see what the HHS response will be.

There is a difference between those that make reckless policy decisions, like cutting Medicaid, & those of us in the trenches doing the work.
When I see a patient, I am accountable for the care I provide. Lawmakers promoting these cuts should consider the same level of accountability.
