Thread on CDC shooting👇...
Good morning.
Yesterday, after hours of hiding, trying not to make a sound, we stepped outside and saw massive bullet holes in our office windows.
Those weren’t random shots. That was a high-powered weapon no civilian should ever own.

“I went into frontline medicine to help people, not to bankrupt them,” writes Sophia Spadafore. “When someone who does not have insurance comes into the ER, I am forced to discuss with the patient what necessary care they may have to delay or forgo”:

ESPECIALLY if you are in a red area.
Why? Because you’re a constituent and they are putting your livelihood at risk.
