I am within my legal rights to dissect public policy, share disdain, & loudly challenge the "medically frail test" rule. Public debate and holding the government accountable is exactly what the system is designed to allow. Fight for those w/chronic illness to keep their medicaid.

You know what Republican midterm ads won't show? Americans are selling their blood to afford food, and people are choosing between buying gas or making rent. That's the economy Republicans have created under Trump.

Promising new treatments for young adults with cancer are within reach. But a proposed federal rule could jeopardize the research needed to get them there by giving political appointees influence over funding decisions. Help us stop it – for good.⬇️ advocacy.bloodcancerunited.o…

After 18 years of full time work and reaching a senior level position, I had to go on benefits for a period due to serious burnout from ADHD and bipolar disorder. If I didn't get those benefits, I would have lost everything and could have ended up homeless. I am sick to the teeth of people treating benefits like everyone is a scrounger. It's a literal lifeline. The GPD % spend of benefits in 2026 is exactly the same as as it was in 2009. The politicians are lying to us. There is no crisis. It's the tax avoiders where the big money is to be found, but that would likely include the politicians friends and family, so they leave that well alone.

Please don’t compare somebody’s chronic condition to the week you were really sick once. The symptoms might sound similar. But dealing with those symptoms week after week, month after month and year after year is a completely different experience.

Read your PBM contract the way the PBM's lawyers wrote it: every undefined word is a door they left open for themselves.

Well, I will say that we NEED to legalize THC then! At least people that want it, can get it from a trusted source. Hell, They legalized Delta THC and are now renigging on it because of the damn alcohol companies, in many states. It’s overall less harmful than alcohol, PERIOD.

Its called 7OH and i believe its liquid form. Kratom however is different. Kratom helped me come off of dr prescribed fentanyl and about 9 other different medications. I used 8t for that purpose only for about 2 months. I used the red or chocolate strain for withdrawals and it helped tremendously.

Seeing grown adults argue AGAINST a 32-hour work week is insane. Get a hobby. Read a book. See your friends. Touch grass. Fall in love. Do literally anything. Life was never supposed to be work, sleep, repeat until you die.

I’ve always found it strange that we built so much technology to make life easier, yet somehow everyone still feels busy all the time. We have automation, smartphones, instant communication and tools that save hours of work. So why does it feel like people have less free time instead of more?

I chuckle when boomers tell me young people don't know how to have fun anymore. You had cheap gas, cheap concerts, cheap houses, cheap cars, malls packed with people, drive-ins, arcades, Saturday morning cartoons, neighborhood baseball, cruising around with no GPS, and could disappear for six hours without your parents calling the police. And then you look at us and say we're addicted to our phones. Yeah. We'd probably put the phone down too if there was actually somewhere affordable to fucking go.

I can’t believe my eyes This American has Stage 4 Cancer, his insurance decided to no longer cover him. He went in for his chemotherapy anyway and received the bill It’s $40,559.19 for one treatment. “One treatment, one doctor's visit and one blood draw. This is what I owe the hospital in order to go back. This is one visit. II'm not going to be able to do this for very long — No insurance. Still waiting” For those unaware of this man’s situation he had insurance but was informed it was being cut off, he appealed The average chemotherapy session in America can be anywhere from $2,000 with insurance to $15,000. A full course of treatment can easily cost up to $200,000 There are even documented cases of chemo drugs costing as much as $15,000-162,000 for brand name immunotherapy drugs in America We need healthcare reform and we need it right now For fun I looked up how much this would cost in Mexico it’s roughly 400%+ cheaper with sessions as low as $1,500 bucks…. These stories need massive attention because this could be any of us. Today it’s him, but tomorrow I can be me or you or a friend or family member. We need healthcare reform immediately

A guy I work with had cancer in his groin lymph nodes. He had surgery to remove it and a bunch of radiation treatments. His bill was over $500k. It was so much that Anthem raised our entire company's premiums the next year so much that we had to switch to United Healthcare.
