“Rural hospitals are often operating on very thin margins,” she told host Matthew Peddie. “They have fewer patients, lower reimbursements, and rising labor and equipment costs, which makes it difficult to sustain high-quality care locally.”

Maintaining the quality of Japan's medical and nursing care services while lowering related expenses, amid an aging population, will pose a difficult challenge for Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/23/japan/politics/japan-pm-takaichi-medical-costs-balance/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #sanaetakaichi #ldp #jip #nursingcare #elderly #hospitals #budgets

Balancing medical services and costs will be major challenge for Takaichi

With services offered at fixed prices set by the state, many service providers are struggling to cope with rapid inflation and are operating at a loss.

(Thread of #warcrimes against #HealthSector of #Gaza by #IsraelTerroristState)

Israel bombed the main #hospital in southern Gaza on Monday and then struck the same spot again as rescuers and #journalists rushed to help the wounded, killing at least 20 people including five journalists.

The first strike hit the top floor of a building at the Nasser hospital, killing the Reuters journalist Hussam al-Masri and others. Journalists and rescuers then rushed to the scene to help the wounded, when a second bomb struck the same spot, 15 minutes later.

#Israel has regularly struck #hospitals, claiming without evidence that Hamas uses them for military purposes. It also regularly kills journalists in #Gaza, on some occasions with the justification that the journalists were associated with #Hamas – claims that journalistic bodies have described as baseless.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/25/journalists-among-people-killed-by-israeli-strike-on-gaza-hospital

An Israeli soldier posted an Instagram story showing the Spike system and a video of the strike, captioned: “die motherfucker, die.” The post reinforces that the strike was intentional, not accidental.

Five journalists killed in a double-tap strike on Nasser Hospital, 11 die of Gaza’s famine in the past day, #KilmarAbregoGarcia detained again by #ICE

Gaza— all over the past 24 hours. Another attack on Nasser Hospital killed at least 20 people, including five journalists in Gaza—raising the total number of journalists killed in Gaza to 245. #Israel widens its assault on Gaza City where it has destroyed over 1,000 buildings, after days of heavy strikes on Jabaliya. Only six #hospitals are partially operating in Gaza City, as the #Gaza Health Ministry issues a distress call on Monday to protect what remains of health services. Israeli Forces raided the village of Al-Mughayyir in the #WestBank for four consecutive days. [...]

How #Maine churches are reckoning with fear of #ImmigrationRaids

by Sean Scott, August 24, 2025

Excerpt: "Selma, an asylum seeker from Angola, moved to Texas at the start of the pandemic and then to Maine in January 2022. She fears persecution if she returns because of a family member’s involvement in a #HumanRights group.

" 'As a Christian, I was praying, and then God just gave me direction, which was Maine,' she said.

"She joined a nondenominational Christian church in Portland right away, and she and her two children have been regular attendees ever since. After President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, her 12-year-old daughter asked if it was still safe to go to school.

"As immigration enforcement efforts have increased dramatically this year, many migrants have also reckoned with whether it’s safe to go to places of worship, whether they’re congregants or faith leaders like one Westbrook pastor detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this month.

"In one of his first acts in office, Trump rescinded a policy that essentially barred #ICEAgents from making arrests at sensitive locations like #churches, #hospitals and #schools. A coalition sued the Department of Homeland Security over the policy in February, arguing it violated #ReligiousFreedom. A judge declined to block the policy, citing a lack of evidence that churches were 'singled out as special targets' for immigration enforcement.

"Faith leaders are preparing for the possibility of enforcement regardless, and several other lawsuits have been filed on similar grounds, including one in late July with a New England plaintiff.

"#MichelTshimankinda, a Westbrook man who founded a church in South Portland, has been in ICE detention in New Hampshire since Aug. 14, according to the Portland Press Herald. He wasn’t arrested on church property, but his detention has shaken his family and congregation."
