We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.
Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

Why join #WednesdayWalkoutsforHealth?
Reason #1: Mass mobilization has been identified as THE most crucial response to authoritarianism. So this is an opportunity for #healthcare workers to speak up about the impact of federal actions on #health.

Well-said and illustrated. Thank you. Anyone, of any political perspective, need only ask themselves, “How, exactly, does paying for commercial health insurance, including its high administrative fees, profit margins, and denial infrastructure, add to the value I receive as a patient?”

The main difference between our system and those with better outcomes? They have universal healthcare- single payer, government funded insurance for everyone. 💡
3/ The U.S. also spends far more on health care than any other wealthy nation, yet Americans live shorter, sicker lives. Infant & maternal mortality, chronic disease, and preventable deaths all rank near the worst. A key reason is that we underinvest in primary care and social supports.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

4/ This weekend was also the first time SNAP benefits missed their first of the month payout. Two federal judges have ordered the USDA to release the funds, and today, it was announced that the Trump admin will use $4.65B from SNAP’s contingency fund to cover half of November benefits.

1/ Open enrollment for Obamacare (ACA) kicked off this weekend, during which more than 20 million families will shop for health insurance coverage. There's some sticker shock though: prices are up ~30% this year if tax credits aren’t extended. Here’s what else is happening in #publichealth 👇
