In a heartbreaking year for #PublicHealth, the Public Health Law Conference was a bright spot. I spoke on two panels: "Fighting Federal Attacks on Health Care Access & Equity" & "Meeting the Moment: Addressing Structural Barriers to Sexual & Reproductive Health Care Access & Equity."
Room of about 80 conference goers attending panel Madeline Morcelle stands at front of the room next to slide on Medicaid and Reproductive Health. She is a white woman with short brown hair, an orange blouse, brown pants, and a pink mask.

I am enraged that some people believe that what Israel is doing to Gaza is necessary for Jewish safety. As I’ve said frequently in recent years, this genocide is diametrically opposed to our core value of Tikkun Olam, repairing the world. It’s indefensible.

There was never a doubt that I was on right-wing lists, so it’s not horrible to learn that Influence Watch’s error-ridden profile of NHeLP cites to an article I wrote (below). Clearly the idea of health care justice struck a nerve. We’ll never stop fighting for it. healthlaw.org/health-care-...

🚨 David Weldon's confirmation hearing for CDC Director with the Senate HELP Committee is tomorrow, March 13 at 10:00am. As the father of the #Weldon Amendment, David Weldon has already taken extreme measures to restrict access to abortion.
Graphic says “stop Wendon” and shows Weldon with his eyes scribbled up.

There’s no one I’d rather fight for health care justice with than these magical humans and the rest of the @nhelp.bsky.social team.

🚨 Medicaid serves nearly 80M people, offering critical health insurance coverage & financial security. Proposals to cut funding put millions at risk. We must protect Medicaid! Call your member of Congress and Protect Medicaid 866-426-2631

Federal Medicaid funding is the sun, moon, and star of state economies. Federal Medicaid work requirements and other cuts wouldn’t just break our hearts, they would break state budgets by gutting their largest source of federal funding. #HealthPolicyValentines #Reconciliation #ProtectMedicaid

For the last 7+ years, I've spent the better part of each MLK Day re-reading as much of "Why We Can't Wait" as I can get through. His words never fail to energize & bring comfort to me. If you're wondering how you'll get through the day, I recommend you give it a go.
