Before ACA, I regularly had patients who bought insurance they thought was "best for them". I've seen $50k annual max, $500k lifetime max, plans w/ no Rx coverage, plans *carving out* cancer treatment, plans that denied leukemia treatment because prior iron deficiency anemia was a pre-existing. /1

The party that says we can’t define what a woman is seems to be having a really hard time defining what a child is.

TN-7 Candidate @aftynbehn.bsky.social : "If you’re not OK with the chaos at our federal government, are upset with the cost of living & inflation, then I'm your candidate… I’ve never taken corporate PAC money, which is important- because are you fighting for the people or your donors?"

Feeling nostalgic about your clubby days of rape and pedophilia? Then you are most definitely and an asshole.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

Can we not let child sex trafficking go the way of school shootings?

Our conviction to protect our children needs EVERYONE’s support.

We can do better.

We need to do better.

These are America’s children, our future.

If we don’t protect them who will?
How many in YOUR State?

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

So Stephen Colbert's show *does* get cancelled because he didn't flatter Trump.

And Megyn R. Kelly's show *doesn't* get cancelled because she tried to dismiss & normalize pedophilia.

That's the morally topsy-turvy country we are currently living in.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.
