From 2019–2023, U.S. children with chronic conditions were consistently more likely to experience food insecurity than peers without such conditions.

Today, Governor DeSantis shared his plans to end vaccine requirements in the state of Florida. We are concerned that today's announcement will put children in Florida public schools at higher risk for getting sick and have ripple effects across their community.

You may not burn up in a fire but take a look at air quality trends in N America over the last 10 yrs & see how far away this is.

Though young adults in the US account for a disproportionate share of new HIV diagnoses, until this study from @ninahillmd.bsky.social, we didn't know much about trends in dispensing PrEP!!

Today we told Congress:

41 percent of births are covered by Medicaid

One in three families with kids under five are food insecure

We asked Congress: Don’t cut what babies & families rely on. Add your voice: thinkbabies.org/budgetcuts
Tell Congress: Oppose Cuts that Harm Babies
Urge Congress to reject budget cuts to programs that support babies and families.

With #HIV prevention medications (called PrEP for short) at the center of a #SCOTUS case that will receive a ruling soon, this new research from @ninahillmd.bsky.social & @kaopingchua.bsky.social is especially timely:

More young adults than ever take HIV-prevention medication, but gaps remain
Trends in use of pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, medication suggest more effort is needed to boost consistent use

New @journalgim.bsky.social: using national pharmacy data, we show that PrEP use is increasing among young people aged 18-25, but these patients are using PrEP for shorter periods of time. @kaopingchua.bsky.social @um-ihpi.bsky.social

Official CBO analysis confirms the obvious: House Republican tax and budget bill isn't shared sacrifice.

It makes poor people poorer and rich people richer. It does this by cutting health care & nutrition to help finance tax cuts skewed to the wealthy.

SNAP helps millions of kids eat. Now Congress wants to gut it — slashing $300 billion to fund tax breaks for the wealthiest households and corporations. It’s cruel, calculated, and happening this week. Contact your Representative now: secure.everyaction.com/lmBv70YdQkCu...

#SNAP cuts in the House budget resolution would take food assistance away from millions of low-income people from every state to help pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Here’s the state-by-state impact: www.cbpp.org/research/foo...
Millions of Low-Income Households Would Lose Food Aid Under Proposed House Republican SNAP Cuts | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Substantial cuts to SNAP would mean households with low incomes in every state would lose support they need to put food on the table, worsening food insecurity and hardship.
