-Mike Johnson says the GOP’s “healthcare plan” is too classified to share.
-Trump said he has a “concept of a plan.”
- Translation: There is no #GOP plan other than to let commercial insurance companies do whatever they want.

With the number of hoops you have to jump through just to get in to see a doctor/specialist, that this country (USA) would rather see us all dead or chronically ill.

-Privacy in healthcare is sacred.
-HHS health data security is 'in danger of a possible collapse' after staff purge.
-This is why we need an independent oversight board (like the Fed) in healthcare.

Here, in part, is why we spend twice than any other developed country. It is part of the uniquely American health care system and it will NOT change with single payer: It requires a new American health care system infrastructure.

-In the US, lack of health insurance coverage is a risk factor for many life-threatening conditions & even early death.
-Even the type of health insurance can be a risk factor!
-We must find a way to cover everyone equitably!

The #Trump admin is ending #Medicare covering #telemedicine.
This will affect:
Immobile elders, #Veterans, Immunocompromised, & millions of other (especially rural) Americans.

Yes, I'm fortunate to have health coverage but it's been two years since my last mammogram and we know a lot can happen. This is unacceptable. #fixUShealthcare #medical #UniversalHealthcare #breastcancer #cancer #HealthcareAccess #womenmatter

Canada has purchased 500,000 doses of a #birdflu #vaccine for humans as a "proactive measure”.
That’s is what responsible leadership looks like.

Do you trust #RFK & #insurance COEs with our medical info? What gives them the right to own it?
We need to take our healthcare data out of the hands of government or insurance companies.

To #FixUShealthcare we MUST take politics & special interests out of #healthcare.
To avoid having people like #RFK run half our system & insurance CEOs the other, we need #EMBRACEsolutions. www.theembraceplan.com

-Why can’t we separate #healthcare from politics?
-In the US, politics is entrenched in our HC system. #HHS & #Medicare are overseen by POTUS and funded by Congress, so #M4A won’t solve this problem.
-We must have independent oversight!

Docs have dedicated our lives to facts & the scientific process. Today, the RFK confirmation, told us that doesn’t matter.
It’s a hard day for #medicine & our #patients.

When they say "Doctors shouldn’t be involved in politics,”
I say, "If you want doctors not to be involved in politics, take politics out of healthcare!"

Ebola outbreak in Uganda.
Now would be a nice time for a robust #CDC communicating with #WHO & #USAID supporting #publichealth work in #Uganda.

GOP Congressman Andy Biggs has introduced a bill that seeks to abolish OSHA
This would lead to the elimination of federal workplace safety protections. Millions of work places would immediately become more dangerous.

Silencing the CDC won’t stop outbreaks.
It only stops us from warning you about them.

Its malpractice!
Politicians & businessmen rarely have medical training, yet in the US, they are running our healthcare system without a license- & it shows!

There has been a massive censorship escalation at CDC & NIH. Unconscionable.
Reminder: As tax payers we paid for the data & research.

This is what happens when we have a healthcare system so susceptible to politics and/or special interests.
We need to rethink how our healthcare system is overseen and who can make decisions that affect public health.

Do you trust govt & insurance companies with our medical info? What gives them the right to own it?
Wouldn’t it be better to entrust these intimate data to an autonomous board of healthcare professionals rather than pols & insurance execs?

Great ideas: But as you say, success would require coordination. We need an independent Fed Reserve-like board that oversees the entire health care system to coordinate the 5 issues you outline & more!
I discuss how this can be accomplished in my book: www.amazon.com/Building-Uni...
