Did you know...seniors of color enrolled in Medicare “Advantage” are offered lower quality plans, face higher rates of prior authorization denials, and suffer worse health outcomes compared to their white counterparts?

advocating for patients with #pnhp. stop privatizing our healthcare system, #wisersucks, no cuts to Medicaid. we need a national, government-run, nonprofit healthcare system for EVERYONE.

it absolutely is. the scene when Beaker flips the bird to Scrooge is incredible. or the addition of Bob Marley to go with Jacob Marley… so funny. and it holds remarkably true to the OG story.

a glorious rebuttal of the asinine MAHA report from a few weeks ago. TLDR: we have ways of making the US healthy but they’re not discussed in the report, and anyhow the current administration is doing everything it can to make people less healthy through its actions.

i feel like reposting this, with its manipulative shitty clickbait question (as though this weren’t settled) adds fuel to this fire. the source article title is lame but you shouldn’t increase the eyeballs that see it because it sows the seeds of (unfounded) doubt.

that’s an interesting article. 8 years on, i can’t imagine anyone choosing the US healthcare system compared to those others. things have gotten much much worse.

get vaccinated. appreciated the chance to talk about the recent wastewater detection of measles on the big island.

khon2news.bsky.social @khon2news.bsky.social · Aug 29

“Now that we detected a positive measles wastewater sample, we’re looking in that area for any potential measles-like cases that anyone has come in with.”

Moving forward following measles detection

On Tuesday, Aug. 26, the Hawai’i Department of Health was notified of a positive test for measles in a routine wastewater sample test on the Big Island.

so fearful of what’s to come. the systematic dismantling of the CDC happened so so fast.

totally agree. the devil is in the methodological details. this mentality surely drives the fact that the results of so many papers can’t be replicated. the methods don’t have to be long but they have to be accurate, esp when so many papers use more and more complex stats to make their point.
