My colleague Mario is in Cupertino, where Apple has just announced a big high blood pressure feature.

How will this play with the Whoop blood pressure FDA drama from earlier this year? And will this wrongly flag a bunch of Apple Watch users with hypertension?

Read Mario's first thoughts:

Rhetoric from the Make America Healthy Again movement discounts the government’s responsibility for helping people with chronic illness and disabilities — in particular, autism, this writer notes. “As a scholar of rhetoric and the mother of an autistic child, in the language of #MAHA I hear a disregard for the humanity of people with disabilities and a shift from supporting them to blaming them for their needs.”

What has evolved in NZ is a 2-tier healthcare system: with private hospitals and specialists offering good quality care and facilities - at a price out of reach of many NZers; and a public system at the point of collapse.
Example: in metro Wellington there are two good quality private hospitals, a specialist orthopaedic hospital about to open and a large public hospital.
Wait times at ED at the main public hospital are pushing 20 hours plus, radiology appts can be 6 months etc. At the private hospitals, radiology appts are available within a week with multiple slots.
If you can afford it, you can access decent healthcare - if you can't, you're consigned to a life of failing health #NZPol #healthcare

"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."
