If free beer doesn’t do the trick, then I don’t know what will. #ThisIsOurShot#MingosTakeShots#VacunateYa
Biden announces 'National Month of Action' -- that could include free beer -- to get more Americans vaccinated by July 4 - CNNPolitics https://t.co/No1Uvy4J1i
Q: Why are waits at emergency rooms so long?
A: Because the rest of the healthcare system is failing.
The patient did everything right, but the healthcare system did them so so so wrong.
🧵…
They call their PCP, but can’t get an appointment. So they turn to the ER.
They call their specialist, but the call line (automated, no human to respond) says go to the ER.
They try to pick up their new medicine, but it’s 3x their monthly rent $ and they already work 3 minimum wage jobs…so they turn to the ER to get a dose of medicine.
They try to get their imaging done, but can’t get the prior auth approved. So they come to the ER to get it.
Their employer won’t let them take a sick day without a work note (and the ER is the only thing open they can get into TODAY).
They need to see their doctor in the clinic, but can’t afford to take time off work to go, much less arrange childcare, and the ER is the only thing open when all those conditions sync up.
They lost their job and now have no insurance and can’t see their doctors anyways. So they come to the ER.
The list goes on and on and on…
Healthcare reform is not about healthcare — it’s about economics, corporate greed, lobby dollars, transportation, housing, politics/policy, culture, and more…
@gtconway3d Would that Saturday morning happen to be the same Saturday morning as the Amy Coney Barrett reception where so many people got sick, all but confirming that Trump was likely Patient Zero at that event?
@CkoneMd @NoOneYouKnow629@JoJoFromJerz Yet tying a doctor’s hands and not letting them take care of a woman whose life is in danger from a pregnancy gone wrong is somehow ok?
@gartmartin9@peterbakernyt Because Biden is cooperating. Six documents after a thorough DOJ search is peanuts compared to what they found at Mar-A-Lago.
@djliston75@MaryLTrump You could, except with this guy. Because he’s not just a senator. He’s also a practicing physician. So he knows plenty well the underlying reasons why women of color are more likely to die in pregnancy and childbirth.
@ForwardMSNFC We got a club Icon on the podcast this week with @FranciscoBenny on to talk about the Mingos
