Sex-based pay gaps are alive and well, no matter the industry. The exit rate of doctors who serve Medicare patients in rural areas is higher for female physicians. But why?

With politics being so interwoven with our health, will “blue” states be automatically rejected as retribution for not bowing down to the violence propagated by the regime in the White House? Much remains to be seen. More details on Texas’ bid for the RHT funds here: thehill.com/homenews/sta...

And what if one application is more compelling than another? Will one state walk away with most of the pie, literally leaving others to die? This is the problem with zero-sum games. And Texas want to be the winner.

The Rural Health Transformation Program is pitting states against each other by making them compete for the pot. Half of the $50b is divided evenly between states, but the rest is distributed based on applications.

In the US, preventing preventable health issues is a luxury for the elite. Even children are not seen as worth protecting. We see that play out time and time again in all aspects, including in the growing number of uninsured.

Currently "the United States continues to have the highest maternal death rate” among other high-income countries. To combat that, new roles are being created in hospital systems aimed at bettering maternity outcomes. This is beyond critical as more high-risk pregnancies are expected.

America’s fragile drug supply chain is extremely vulnerable to climate change

More than 60 percent of US drug facilities are in areas with weather disasters.

“During the six-year span, 6,819 facilities (63 percent) faced at least one weather-related emergency. Per year, an average of 2,146 facilities (33 percent) experienced such an emergency.” What does this mean for supply chain stability?

Once-in-a-lifetime weather events seem to happen increasingly more often. As a result, weather-induced drug supply chain emergencies are not so rare anymore. If the US closes international supply chain doors, it makes US weather catastrophes all the more significant.

The Supreme Court just greenlit Donald Trump gutting nearly $800 MILLION for medical treatments and cures.

Congress approved this funding for a reason: it saves lives.

This is disgraceful, and families will suffer.
