President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act is lowering the everyday costs of prescription drugs, health insurance premiums, and energy bills.

Every single Congressional Republican voted against it.

@ashleyalp1 Yes!!! Congratulations!!!

8.) This isn't a humble brag. It's a red flag in '21 when everyone is accusing everyone else of villainy...

That basic bureaucracy can be villainous.

It can also be changed.

Nothing ensures my tear ducts are still working like quoting my late father in a lecture.

There's a reason I always put his words at the end:

@jenny_deam continues to do just incredible reporting. Awesome (and frustrating) to read as a medical student

[John Tedesco @John_Tedesco]

A new Texas law is supposed to protect consumers from surprise medical bills.

So why does a 6-minute ambulance ride still cost nearly $2,000?

Another great story by @jenny_deam about the bewildering world of health care billing:

1/ It’s almost here! As applicants, medical schools, and program leadership prepare for the inaugural virtual residency interview season in these #unprescedentedtimes, we asked: how can we not only survive, but thrive, together? https://t.co/4xDDhylg7n

@Bjashraf @ShotsHeard @NicoleB_MD @stronger_org @Voices4Vaccines @ImmunizeOrg This is published by Texas Children's Hospital - still one of the more impactful things I've read in defense of vaccines

And here's some recent footage from the new Trident underwater drone. Not too shabby! Thanks again, @ShellPugetSound!

Many thanks @LinaHidalgoTX for taking this important first step

Finally, with everything going on in the world, we have some good news. 9 lbs, 6 ounces, and a whole lot of cheek

Just finished The Education of an Idealist by @SamanthaJPower and can't tell you how refreshing it was to see the potential of real diplomacy, and it's certainly not getting upset and taking your ball home. Just absurb

[Jeremy Konyndyk @JeremyKonyndyk]

No question WHO needs further reform. I've spent 5 years working on it.

If that's your real goal, you do the ****ing work. You lay out a vision. You make the case. You do the shoe-leather diplomacy with other member states. You build support. And you pass real reforms.

[Andrew Bratsman @Andrew_Brats]

I just can't reason out a possible pro to pulling out of the WHO right now. Dr. Gawande is right, this is a disaster.

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

Pulling out of WHO is a disaster for the lives and health of all people, including Americans. I can’t imagine a worse thing to do in the midst of a pandemic and ongoing work to fight back TB, HIV, polio, and other health threats. America First does not work for global disease.

[Padma Swamy #Vote4Kids @PadmaGloHealth]

Looking forward to this amazing session and hearing @anacm0602 , @HTXimmigration & others speak!

One blessing of pandemic: finally had the time to train up and finish my first century ride from Galveston to Houston. SO to tailwinds for making the 100 miles a schmidgen more bearable @… https://t.co/RwMq49luvD

[Bryan Carmody @jbcarmody]

Well, it’s (all but) official:

The AAMC has recommended that residency programs offer only virtual interviews for the upcoming season.

Who wins, and who loses? Let’s find out!

"We have been telling people for years they didn’t have to worry anymore, that there are no loopholes, no fine print. It’s just not true anymore.”

A cautionary tale I have been chipping away at for months. https://t.co/PD5lZM9G9y

@KaitlinCurtice As someone who doesn't know where to start, do you have any suggestions good books to look for?
