the physician profession & our healthcare system are not trustworthy because we bankrupt our patients & communities to our own enrichment & do nothing to change it. this is why we have the MAHA movement. save your tears.

Evidence has demonstrated this effect in numerous cities now.
I understand why it sounds weird to say, 'building a bunch of fancy new townhouses and skyscrapers will make housing more affordable!' but it simply appears to be true.

So proud of the great work happening in Minneapolis, which shows that boosting housing supply helps make homes more affordable.

This is big. It’s hard to know what else will move the needle on #primarycare working conditions & pay - growing shortages (there will always be physicians who want to work for #AcMed) #fightburnout @gimapreceptor.bsky.social @gabrieldane.me @dhpomerantz.bsky.social
Nearly 300 primary care physicians employed by Mass General Brigham have notified federal authorities that they want to join a union, citing “burnout” and the “corporatization of medicine” at the state’s largest health system.
Citing ‘burnout,’ nearly 300 primary care doctors at Mass General Brigham take steps to unionize - The Boston Globe
The doctors comprise the vast majority of primary care physicians employed by Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

New data on medical student debt from the AAMC:
Average educational debt is up 2% to $205,000.
…but that's for students who incur debt. Nowadays, 29% of students don't.
Meanwhile, 23% of graduates owe >$300,000. (In other words, more debt is being heaped upon a smaller proportion of students.)

The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.

Casual reminder to ignore the anti-union propaganda from corporate America. If unions were actually bad for workers, corporations wouldn't need to spend millions of dollars on union-busting.
