Why would you want to make it MORE difficult for people to get much needed healthcare. WHY??
As a professional registered nurse I see that this will create so much MORE demand on already LIMITED resources advocating for those who need it. This is all cartoon villain nonsense.

Speaking of the ACA, I have a job for everyone today. The CMS has proposed a new rule that would shorten open enrollment, provide less guidance choosing plans, add limitations on re-enrollment and other detrimental changes. Please comment on the rule here:

The ACA was cool because you won't have a co-pay to get the cancer screening your doctor recommends.
The ACA was cool because before the ACA EVERY SINGLE CHILD WITH CANCER hit their annual and lifetime limits almost immediately and were denied insurance for the rest of their lives and after the ACA that’s illegal.
The ACA was cool because before the ACA you could hit your lifetime maximum before you were a month old and be denied insurance for the rest of your life and after the ACA that’s illegal.

And Republicans are all in to bring this back. They don't want people with disabilities or illnesses to get care. "If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”

For those wanting to optimize their care of premenopausal HR+ early breast cancer I highly recommend watching the #SABCS24 Educational Session “Mind the Gap Breast cancer in the young.” It really reinforces the importance of ovarian suppression! Tam is not enough in so many! #bcsm #OncSky #CanSky

Health insurance industry PR is working overtime right now diverting blame to physicians for claim denials and rising costs. I feel compelled to remind everybody that Optum (UHC) is the largest employer of physicians in the US. We have never had less power in healthcare than we do right now.

Good morning, Bluesky. Today’s #GoodMorningNews: a trial at Washington University’s school of medicine has shown great results for a vaccine that would prevent recurrence for a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer. It’s a small trial, but 3 years later 16/18 participants remain cancer free
