41% of births in America are paid for by Medicaid. A large majority take place in county hosp.
Do these legislators believe these births just stop happening? Are the deliveries less complicated if they fail to receive prenatal care bc they don’t qualify for Medicaid early? The hosp will close too.

Roughly half of all persons who seek care from Community Health Centers are on Medicaid. This means millions of patients across Illinois, Florida, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Arizona will struggle to get medical care so that billionaires get the tax cuts promised in Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill"

Trump asked about his Cabinet officials including Jeffrey Goldberg on a secret war plan Signal exchange:
"I don’t know anything about it. I’m not a big fan of the Atlantic. To me, it's a magazine that’s going out of business. It’s not much of a magazine, but I know nothing about it."

Texas women are dying. We have been screaming it from the rooftops, but we finally have data to prove this…The Christian Taliban doesn’t care. The cruelty IS the point. They take their mistresses and daughters out of the state and always have. Hypocrisy is a lifestyle for these people.
Also, how many doctors?

Lisa murkowski is/was/will be one of the biggest disappointments in the history of the US Senate. You can’t play footsie w leopards and then act surprised when a leopard eats your face. Moderate republicans own this travesty and the misery it has brought to our country. They could have aborted it.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."

I’ve been an attending for 24+yrs and I cried all the way home last Tuesday. From clinic.
Sometimes what we do is carry the weight so that others can walk out a little lighter… and that weight has to dissipate a bit before we get home or it transfers to those we love.
Let it out.

Well it's official. I didn't make it thru my first week working in the ICU without crying. Last year it was within the first day.
Sometimes this job is just truly very sad. And I'm human.

These numbers are higher in Texas. What are rural hospitals (those that are left) going to do to make up for this loss? They won’t. They will close. The patients don’t go away. The county hospital will still see them. The hospital just won’t be paid.
