Instead of investing in recruiting and supporting PCPs, MGB is outsourcing primary care to AI and corporate vendors. This is a model for corporatized care that normalizes lower standards.

MGB is turning to AI to ease shortage of primary care doctors. Some of them don’t like it. - The Boston Globe

Several providers said the app — which questions patients, reviews medical records, and produces a list of potential diagnoses — sidesteps real solutions.

Trump rolling back climate protections like greenhouse gas regulations puts workers and their families at risk, all to pad the profits of the ultra-wealthy.

We demand a future where health, safety, and dignity come before corporate greed. No compromises. 🌎✊🏽
