@erlichya Since when did VC’s or Angel investors start giving out grants?

VCs are more like a super high interest loan shark. They want it back PLUS interest

[Mark A @Health4Law]

Of course socialist @bernieSanders won’t bow out.

He cost and his boys the @TheDemocrats the presidency last time so why wouldn’t he do it again?

Almost seems like he is in bed with the Russians more than Trump.

[Kasie Hunt @kasie]

NEWS: @BernieSanders won’t commit to bowing out before the convention if it becomes clear he won’t win the nomination

[Mark A @Health4Law]

Who is the most corrupt fake news guy in the US @Seanhannity who never would get elected on his own..

No moral backbone - but glad he is pro LGBT

[Mark A @Health4Law]

Hey @CNN we don’t need to hear from socialist @BernieSanders yet again

We know about his failed Medicare for all - what has he ever done other than help get @realDonaldTrump elected - shh along with the Russians #CNNSOTU

@AtlanticLIVE @TeamUSA Really? Dehydration leads to Alzeheimers? Where is the clinical proof of that? Just lost credibility. #AspenIdeas

[Mark A @Health4Law]

@iamcorrect100 @NFAPResearch You need to subtract the cost of educating their #h1b anchor babies

[Mark A @Health4Law]

Elite white men like the CEO of @MountSinaiNY Dr. Kenneth Davis who was paid $12.4 million last year argues for more private control of health innovation IP.

Next year at #AspenIdeas he will be selling shares in his low income patients

[Modern Healthcare @modrnhealthcr]

Dr. Kenneth Davis, Mount Sinai Health System president and chief executive, took home nearly $12.4 million in cash compensation. https://t.co/LcZJGIr1SN

@McfeeMarianne @HillaryClinton The donations go to @ActBlue not the Clinton Foundation.

Better then our taxes going to a party that is headed by a rapist.

[Mark A @Health4Law]

Why don’t we take some of the billions they found to build an unneeded wall to house, feed and care for the children of refugees?

We are only enabling the current administration by private donations.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

More contributions mean more services, lawyers, and advocates for kids and families in need, so please continue to spread the donation link far and wide.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Americans in Tech are hanging out the Not Welcome Sign when #H1B show up at work and in their neighborhoods and schools.

They aren’t anti immigrant just unfair labor practices.

India has enough problems - why not keep their talent at home? cc @seanhannity

[Soria Law @SoriaLaw]

In the news - #Pompeo will assure #India on #H1B visa cap: official https://t.co/zg24o9N7nW

[Mark A @Health4Law]

There is an incentive to deny people care if the savings stay with the state.

The money should be assigned to the person who is the patient and let providers bid for providing higher quality, lower cost care that fits the patients needs. #AspenIdeas

[AtlanticLIVE @AtlanticLIVE]

@SenBillCassidy He continues: In Louisiana, the state will receive money based on the sickness of the patient. The money saved will stay with the state to be used in other areas of health care #AspenIdeasHealth #AspenIdeas

[Mark A @Health4Law]

@aspenideas @Surgeon_General Facts don’t line up

DC has the second worst traffic in the US but just snagged @Amazon #H2Q and Boston is a hot bed or innovation but has the worst traffic. #AspenIdeasHealth

[Mark A @Health4Law]

@aspenideas @Surgeon_General WA State has the best economy in the US and @CityofSeattle has @Amazon (fastest growing employer owns 40% of office space) but they also have unaffordable housing, a month of smoke from fires and 1/2 the growth is immigration (40% of developers are foreign born) #AspenIdeasHealth

[Mark A @Health4Law]

@SeanHannity the real immigration problem in CA no one talks about

Why is @WhiteHouse @SecPompeo is betraying US tech workers?

Over 1 million #h1B visa holders in the US - 85% from India pushing tech workers out and filling SF area schools with their US born kids.

Self described libertarian & vocal opponent of #ACA who ?s need for health insurance inow heading up @HHS in WA, OR, ID, Alaska.

Came from defunct right wing think tank funded by Koch Brothers

[HHS Region 10 @HHSRegion10]

Very glad for the opportunity to meet with @MauraLittle, Jennie Harvell of @WA_Health_Care , & @SusannahFox (former @HHSCTO 2015-2017) at #CambiaGroveSummit on interoperability #EHR #HealthIT

[Mark A @Health4Law]

Just what we need -a look at me selfie president @corybooker?

Glad he understands he is running for spokesmodel vs President helps explain why he doesn’t hold press events.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

One of my favorite things to do when I hit the road, so it's only right that I celebrate with this montage of the self-portrait that changed the world. Happy #NationalSelfieDay to all!

[Mark A @Health4Law]

@CoryBooker Paradox Cory is stuck in what happened 200 years ago when he calls out @joebiden for something this century.

Who benefits by infighting? @realDonaldTrump and @GOP

[Mark A @Health4Law]

Strong support for “U.S. government plan to cap H-1B visas issued each year to Indians at between 10 per cent and 15 per cent of the annual quota”” - currently over 70% go to India - disrupting local culture and flooding school systems in SF area

[Mark A @Health4Law]

@chrislhayes Not many protests in San Jose or Seattle suburbs - where 25% of the population are immigrants. Most came under temporary tech worker visa program #h1B now has over 1 million from India alone..Long long wait for green cards though

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

Yesterday the president vowed to round up 11 million people and today his supporters are marching through the streets throwing up white power signs.

[Mark A @Health4Law]

Sadly in tech once you hit 40 you are no longer valued and will be replaced by a 20 something from India - over 1 million #H1B visa holders in the US while people with engineering and tech degrees born in the US can’t get hired in tech
