This connection isn’t articulated often enough.
That is why care has transformative power beyond health. To be truly listened to – to be recognized not as a case but as a person – can change not just how one experiences illness, but how one experiences oneself and the world. It can foster the capacity to care for others across differences, to resist hatred and violence, to build the fragile social ties upon which democracy depends. By contrast, when medicine is reduced to data and transactions, it not only fails patients and demoralizes doctors. It also degrades democracy itself. A system that alienates people in their moments of deepest vulnerability – bankrupting them, gaslighting them, leaving them unheard – breeds despair and rage. It creates the conditions in which authoritarians gain traction.

@unciv.bsky.social you just liked and reposted this post of mine from Sept 2013 (it was ported over when I left twitter). The link in it is broken. Delete?

I don’t have a tidy answer for that (ugh, we don’t have precise answers for exactly how many *federal researchers* have lost their jobs)

This is part of the problem!
