Preparedness is critical in managing the impact of a pandemic. The Obama Administration provided the Trump Administration with a preparedness roadmap. Unfortunately, the Trump Administration chose to ignore it.

Leora Schiff @LeoraSchiff@AltiusStrategy and Jeff Berkowitz of Real Endpoints on finding a fair way to pay for the new cancer meds. Berkowitz: 'In US, value is in the eye of the beholder. And the beholder is the payor.' #BOScancersummit
Well said! I particularly appreciated your reminder that the mission is the patient, a mission that people in our industry seem to have forgotten and really need to return to.
The Game Isn’t Worth The Candle: Reflections On The JPM Healthcare Conference. More concerned than ever about the value of the JPM week and what it says about our industry. https://t.co/PBn4DvFoss #JPM19#JPMHC19
Trump Lies on Crime:
"Illegal immigrants are 44% less likely to be incarcerated than natives. Legal immigrants are 69 percent less likely to be incarcerated than natives. Legal and illegal immigrants are underrepresented in the incarcerated population.” https://t.co/15g0yarMtQ
Reading about all the election problems in Georgia, as its Secretary of State abuses the powers of his office to win an election I’m struck by the deafening silence of the Civil Rights Division, whose role it is to protect Americans’ right to vote.
Democracy is a habit, and Americans have been falling out of practice. But habits can be formed as well as lost. Vote even once—for example, today—dand you’re more likely to go on doing it: https://t.co/U373Yw1fs3
Wendy Sherman: To the president and the senators – think about what you are doing here. This isn’t about the left and right -- its about our daughters. For heavens sake have an FBI investigation and slow it down
With only 42 days to go until the midterms, #NationalVoterRegistrationDay is more important than ever. Ask three friends if they’re registered to vote (and if not, get them registered at https://t.co/MykJL0X5gt), volunteer on a campaign, and spread the word — your voice matters.
There’s an old saying in Washington: Show me your budget, and you show me what you value.
Well the Trump Administration is taking money from cancer research and Head Start programs to pay to detain immigrant kids.
What kind of values are these?https://t.co/GIpxtNtlor
"It's really the only crime where people doubt the victim immediately. If your car was stolen, they don't say, 'Are sure it was stolen? Why were you driving such an expensive car?'" https://t.co/aimH7Oq4H6
Two presidents extoll McCain with one theme.
Obama: "John called us to be bigger than that. He called us to be better than that.”
Bush: "John’s voice will always come as a whisper over our shoulder: we are better than this, America is better than this." https://t.co/0v02ucXjpm
“Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here. Americans never quit. We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history.”
— Senator John McCain
In adding John Brennan to his enemies list, Trump demonstrates again how deeply insecure and vindictive he is — two character flaws dangerous in any President.
An enemies list is ugly, undemocratic and un-American. I also believe this action to silence a critic is unlawful.
