People of all ages are at risk of experiencing a #traumaticbraininjury. For young people, #concussions from #contactsports account for 45% of all #emergencydepartment visits for a traumatic brain injury each year.
CDC’s ability to prevent injuries like drowning, traumatic brain injury and falls is severely compromised by Trump cuts

Theare are some prominent accounts on here who are #selfemployed who are just dropping their #insurance this year. I don't blame them, but this will end VERY BADLY for an already taxed #hospital and #emergencydepartment system with no beds.
So my wife did the only rational thing left. Today, she canceled our policy. As of January 1, we’re uninsured.

This isn’t a reckless decision. It’s a calculated one.
