#HakeemJeffries quoted former Democratic President Harry Truman's "forward-looking vision" calling for #UniversalHealthcare.
Instead, Jeffries said #Republicans were now "ripping #healthcare" from Americans.
"That's shameful. It's disgusting," he said.
At the end of this historic week — a massive transfer of wealth from poor to rich, healthcare and food support ripped from millions — I'm wondering what bible texts U.S. churches will read and preach about this Sunday?
So many churches, so many texts, so many Christians eager to hear the words of Jesus and other scriptures preached — addressing us in the world in which we live today, of course.

The changes made to #Trump’s big tax bill in the #Senate would pile trillions onto the nation’s #debt load while resulting in even steeper losses in #healthcare #coverage, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said in a new analysis, adding to the challenges for #Republicans as they try to muscle the bill to passage.
Congress Is Pushing for a Medicaid Work Requirement. Here’s What Happened When Georgia Tried It.
—
GOP lawmakers want to nationalize Medicaid work requirements to offset Trump’s proposed tax cuts. Yet Georgia’s example shows that this could threaten health care for nearly 16 million Americans and cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved injectable lenacapavir for HIV treatment. But there is always a but. The drug could cost as much as $28,000 or as little as $100 – depending on where you get it. https://continent.substack.mas.to
Kat Cammack, a Florida Republican, struggled to get care for an ectopic pregnancy due to her state’s abortion ban.
Is she fighting to change the ban? Talking about those who’ve lost their lives?
No. She’s blaming the left. Saying it’s pro abortion “fear mongering” that caused the delay.
She’s blaming the very people who’ve been trying to save her & those like her.
Her delay was caused by healthcare workers fearing criminal prosecution.
They can’t intervene until it’s clear the life of the mother is in jeopardy.
It’s a horribly difficult judgment call no healthcare worker should ever be forced to make.
Shame on Kat for not taking her experience and using it to save lives.

A federal judge ruled that the state of Texas for decades unnecessarily institutionalized 4,500 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in nursing home facilities, denying them services that are required under federal law.

Judge rules Texas has been illegally placing people with severe disabilities in nursing homes for decades

When a disabled person shares a story of medical trauma, they're told to 'just lodge a complaint'
People don't understand how broken the complaint process is, or the risk of retaliation facing those of us who speak out
Once you're labelled 'difficult' or 'non compliant' it's very hard to get care:

Why Don't You "Just" Lodge a Complaint?
When a disabled person is mistreated in healthcare, they're told to 'just' complain. It's not that simple. There's a culture of retaliation in the medical field that makes complaining very hard to do.Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)
From Kit @oconnell in the archives: “The reality is that gender-affirming medical care for trans youth is not controversial within mainstream medicine.”
But that consensus hasn't stopped the New York Times from treating anti-trans organizations as experts on #transgender health. texasobserver.org/emily-bazelo…

'Devastating': Senators name 338 rural hospitals that could close if Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act passes, including 11 in #Ohio, 35 in #Kentucky, INCLUDING THE HOSPITAL THAT SAVED MY WIFE PENNY last August when she had her widow maker heart attack.
Penny would be dead if not for our rural hospital, there is no question about it. She barely made it there alive and then, already incubated.
According to her chart, she arrived at our nearest rural #AppalachianOhio ER at 6:53 by ambulance and was in life saving surgery by 6:57. Surgery was over by 7:07 and she was out the door and on the way to university hospital at 7:12. She barely made it there alive and underwent more surgery. #Hospital #OBBBA #Budget #HealthCare #OBBB

![Dear President Trump, Leader Thune, and Speaker Johnson,
In May, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives passed a reconciliation
package that, if enacted, will impose the largest cuts to health care in United States history,
slashing funding for Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act by more than $1 trillion and
triggering more than $500 billion in Medicare cuts. Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid and the
Affordable Care Act will cause 16 million people in the U.S. to lose health insurance coverage.
A majority of adults living in rural areas are concerned that these health care cuts will
“negatively impact hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care providers in [their]
community.”1 They are right to be worried, as these cuts will have devastating consequences for
health outcomes and costs, jobs, and the economic success of rural communities. Today, we
write to provide you with detailed information about rural hospitals that are uniquely at risk of
financial distress and even closure, conversion, or service reductions because of the cuts in the
House-passed reconciliation package. The information provided by the Cecil G. Sheps Center for
Health Services Research at the University of North Carolina (Sheps Center) illustrates what
your party’s reconciliation bill will mean for the health of Americans living in rural
communities.](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/4986553 "Dear President Trump, Leader Thune, and Speaker Johnson,

This Session’s Worst Anti-Abortion Bill Died, but Pro-Choice Advocates Aren’t Celebrating

On the contrary, AI is destroying the future of healthcare. Its engines are stealing researcher's work and atrophying the brains of future health professionals.
Medicine is a social science that needs critical thinking, empathy and compassion. All very distant concepts from those powerful shortsighted technocrats ruling the European Commission, the only beneficiaries of those €200 billion.
