"Every cancer patient should know the next round of life-saving drugs is being stolen from them by people in Washington who don’t want them developed. Every parent should know their children are more likely to become gravely ill—or even die.

Make Cancer Great Again."

"Tens of millions of people are gonna die because of [RFKJr}.

I don’t know why they want that—why the MAGA want that, I’m not really sure. The only explanation I can think of is that Putin wants us sick and dead. If you can come up with a better explanation, please enlighten me."

"This moment cannot be seen in isolation. It reflects a broader 'pro-death' political movement that prizes ideology over evidence, power over public health, and partisan gain over human life."

Yesterday, from @josephinelee: Between 2005 and 2025, 25 rural hospitals in #Texas have closed, the most of any state. 5 of them no longer offer in-patient services. The future of those that remain is uncertain. https://www.texasobserver.org/jodey-arrington-obbba-cuts-west-texas-rural-hospitals/

But if you're concerned about #Trump & #RFK undermining #science & #medicine, the consensus is there for #transgender #healthcare, so you should be just as concerned about anti #trans rhetoric & anyone regurgitating it as you are for #antivax rhetoric. It's ALL #antiscience bullshit.

Medicare's Saskatchewan Birthplace 🏥🇨🇦

On this day in 1962, Saskatchewan introduced North America's first universal healthcare program. Despite initial opposition including a doctors' strike, this pioneering system became the model for Canada's Medicare. Today, universal healthcare remains a defining feature of Canadian identity. 🇨🇦 #Canada#TommyDouglas#HealthCare

monday morning starts off with the sentiment, "at least it feels better than yesterday", a subjective statement when there's a fever involved and still no vocal cord control. I don't want another day of bed rest, very tired of bed, tired of downtime. stupid covid.

On average, people in China live four years longer compared with the US. Yet, China spends far less per capita on healthcare.

#usa #china #healthcare

A line graph titled "Current health expenditure per capita (current US$) - China, United States." The x-axis represents the years from 2000 to 2022. The y-axis represents the health expenditure in thousands of current US dollars, ranging from 0 to 12. There are two lines on the graph: 1. United States: This line shows a steep, continuous upward trend. It starts at just over $4,000 in 2000 and rises steadily throughout the period, reaching approximately $12,000 in 2022. 2. China: This line shows a very gradual, slight upward trend. It starts at a value close to zero in 2000, remains very low for a number of years, and then begins to rise slightly faster from around 2016. Its value in 2022 is still well below $2,000. The graph clearly illustrates the significant and growing disparity in per capita health expenditure between the United States and China over the 22-year period.
