"It's the idea of health professionals 'literally prescribing you a community activity or resource the same way they'd prescribe you pills or therapies,' she [Julia Hotz] explains. The prescriptions include exercise, art, music, exposure to nature and volunteering, which are known to have enormous benefits to physical and mental health."

Reddit post in r/upstate_new_york by RANDOMyoUSERNAME. UPSTATE NY HEALTH INSURANCE I work for New York State Of Health and they have implemented a new policy that requires us to report inquiries about health insurance status related to immigration to the Department of Health, which may then forward that information to immigration authorities. This marks a change from our previous policy of not sharing such information! Our TERMS, RIGHTS, AND RESPONSIBILITIES still says “The state will not report any information on this application to a federal immigration agency.” This is now a lie and you can SUE NEW YORK STATE for this lie. Please be careful when you apply for health insurance, some of my coworkers don’t care and will heartlessly report any and everyone and ICE may come for you! Stay vigilant. -Thank you for listening. I cannot stand by watching while this world goes to hell. Help each other before it’s too late!

It’s the juxtaposition of headlines like these that led to me writing my first novel, THE ALGORITHM WILL SEE YOU NOW

I chose fiction so that I could use the power of story to show the many layers of potential harm, to both patients and physicians, from inserting #AI into #healthcare when the motivation behind it is corporate greed, not altruism

With the U.S. withdrawing from international organizations and alienating other countries with tariffs, the 10-nation BRICS grouping has been gradually stepping in to fill a growing soft-power vacuum, analysts say. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/08/world/politics/brics-soft-power-trump-analysis/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #brics #g7 #us #donaldtrump #healthcare #ai #diseases

Gaza Doctors Under Attack
https://archive.org/details/gaza-doctors-under-attack_202507

The documentary chronicles Israel’s targeting and destruction of Gaza’s hospitals and medics, 1,500 of whom have been killed.

It's a 2025 documentary on doctors working during the #Gaza war, detailing the killings and #torture of #healthcare workers and attacks on #hospitals by the Israel Defence Forces (#IDF) during the conflict.

An Israeli airstrike has killed one of Gaza’s most senior doctors in a “catastrophic” loss to the already decimated healthcare system. A number of family members were reported to have been killed alongside him.

Dr Marwan al-Sultan, a renowned and highly experienced cardiologist and director of the Indonesian hospital in the #Gaza Strip, is the 70th #healthcare worker to be killed by Israeli attacks in the last 50 days, according to Healthcare Workers Watch (HWW), a Palestinian medical organisation.

“This is part of a much longer and systematic atrocious targeting of healthcare workers sanctioned by impunity. This is a tragic loss of life, but also an obliteration of their decades of lifesaving medical expertise and care at a time when the situation facing Palestinian civilians is unfathomably catastrophic,” Alser added.

“He was a prominent scholar and one of the two remaining cardiologists left in Gaza. Thousands of heart patients will suffer as a result of his killing. His only fault was that he was a doctor. We have no option but to be steadfast, but the sense of loss is devastating.”

So effective and efficient to have your interpretation needs met by several different offices and go through barriers and a decision tree before getting an ASL interpreter!

Why the difference? Because each category has a different legal floor and UC wants to sink to the floor, not elevate to the ceiling.
