@BillAckman @elonmusk @DOGE This is bc congress, long in the pocket of pharma lobby, prohibited Medicare from negotiating drug prices. Biden broke up this racket, allowing Medicare to negotiate price for insulin & other essential meds, saving patients 1000s/mo. Trump should simply expand this to all drugs

@BillAckman That’s a false reading of the data you shared. 96% of borrower beneficiaries (16.42 million ppl) have a household income of <$83k. This group is well below the US mean HH income of $105k.

77% of the debt relief spending went to beneficiaries with HH of <$83k.

I love this from ⁦@NYCHealthCommr ⁦@ashvasnyc⁩: a moonshot for longer, healthier lives. Provocative, smart reframing of our healthcare systems that warrants exploration. https://t.co/BINBAzgrH6

1/n Trump Getting DESTROYED on Truth Social Over His Vaccine Post - ⁦@MeidasTouch⁩

To help people understand this phenomenon, it might be useful to look at each of the three major waves of COVID disinformation from 2020-2024. Will break it down…

NEW: A study has found that hospitals that are privatised typically deliver worse quality care after converting from public ownership.

Researchers analysed 13 long-term studies from different high-income countries such as England, Germany, South Korea and the USA.

I like the term “dishabituation entrepreneurs” (autocorrect seems to like it less)

We need more of them right now https://t.co/J9TvQzFUlY

Oxford’s continuing education dept offers lots of great online courses, though most are also not free: https://t.co/0YgxgS7zuX
