Love it

[AJPH @AMJPublicHealth]

Magnan and Kindig (@PopHealth) ask us to "look for uncommon allies" in order to build common ground in public health.

Leaders change such policies

[Tiffany Green is now tiffanylgreen.bsky.social @Tiffany_L_Green]

Yet another reason why I will never be in leadership. Who in the world would want to be in charge of enforcing such a barbaric and cruel policy?

[The G.L.O.A.T. @LakeSuperior]

Find the cold spot.

[David Kindig @PopHealth]

Like Biden, look at what we DO

Let's gooooooo!! I'm not saying that @UWMadison was the best @RWJF Health and Society Program site. But I'm not NOT saying it either.*

*I am saying it because come on, look at us!

Obamacare increased from 85% to 90% the number of Americans with health insurance. But the cost per family of four rose from $15,609 to $30,260 and American life expectancy actually declined. This is not the huge policy win neoliberal elites claim. https://t.co/4az6aqIE2v

The 2021 Child Tax Credit monthly payments were associated with improved self-reported adult health & food security. Cash transfers for families may be effective tools in improving health and nutrition.

Our 2022 Annual Report is hot off the presses. Our work relies on our partnerships, many of which are featured. We continue to be energized by our collective commitment to action across the multiple determinants of health and racial equity. https://t.co/govlvnViq6

Terrific and well deserved

Been sitting on this for several months but seemed like an appropriate Juneteenth celebration since it’s now official official. There are too many people to thank—mentors, friends, family. My husband in particular has gone hard for me since he met me, moving halfway across the 1/

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Sadio Mane, a Senegalese soccer star, earns approximately $10.2 million annually. He gave the world a rude awakening after some fans were flabbergasted when they saw him carrying a cracked iPhone 11.

His response was awesome:

"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, and two jet planes? I starved, I worked in the fields, played barefoot, and I didn't go to school.

Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools and a stadium, provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty.

In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy.

I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive some of what life has given me."

Very confused. I was told that hospitals are losing money, struggling with their backs against the wall, and in dire need of new subsidies.

Nonprofit hospitals have a particular responsibility to ensure fair prices—because fundamentally, hospitals should be places for healing, not agents of harm. https://t.co/z79yHKFLdI

A new #research article published in the @MilbankFund discusses the role of cities as a platform for #PopulationHealth, including how data tools, such as the Dashboard, play a pivotal role in helping transform health. Read the full article now: https://t.co/jj1n0BbXJ8

Children and teens don't have the luxury of waiting years for us to protect them from the potential harms of social media. My new Advisory outlines the steps we can take TODAY to mitigate the risks to their #MentalHealth: https://t.co/6JadYlxORy

[John Frey @jjfrey3MD]

Think of what a billion dollars might do for staffing and supporting family medicine offices correctly. Why is the US health system broken - this is one reason.

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

One point I haven't seen emphasized about the budget deal is that as far as I can tell, it's not going to involve a major hit to the safety net for children. The new SNAP work requirements are cruel, but they apply to childless adults in their 50s 1/

Richard Kekuni Akana Blaisdell was a community organizer and the first chair of medicine at @uhmanoa. In 1983, he authored a groundbreaking paper that called attention to the health of Native Hawaiians & continued to advocate for culturally competent care. #AANHPIHeritageMonth
