On July 1, a new federal rule will de-professionalize public health, nursing and social work degrees. @MariamTRashid & Rutgers’ Perry Halkitis sound the alarm: https://t.co/jROTXVl8QW

Nurses with DACA fill critical gaps in our country’s health care system and act as linguistic and cultural bridges in the communities they serve. Despite this, they continue to face uncertainty due to their temporary immigration status, barriers to professional licensure, and the constant threat of losing work authorization. https://t.co/a6SVEW27cP

[Center for American Progress @amprog]

Health care should be affordable, accessible, and work for the people—not just insurance companies or hospital systems. CAP's new proposal for a patients' bill of rights has solutions to immediately lower costs and strengthen patient protections.

[Center for American Progress @amprog]

Rising health care costs are pushing Americans to a breaking point.

Interested in health care reform and looking for a career change? @amprog is seeking an Associate Director for Health Policy. Apply here: https://t.co/mVqPRNm2ui

[Topher Spiro @TopherSpiro]

It's time to end prior authorization by insurance company bureaucrats. To better manage care, we need:

* targeted, independent review by clinicians for the most costly services
* guided by evidence-based guidelines - not arbitrary
* strict 48-hour deadline
* exempt routine, emergency care

We've already spent over $25 billion on Trump's war in Iran. That money could have provided child care to 1.8 million children for a year.

[Center for American Progress @amprog]

While the Trump administration has cut $1 trillion in taxes for the rich and has reportedly just requested an additional $200 billion for its immoral war in Iran, it continues to cut programs like Medicare that assist disabled people. https://t.co/fTG8soJXui
