1/3 I had the wonderful opportunity to give a talk to my classmates at @StanfordGSB about why we need to reimagine aging. https://t.co/do5DiQXJG7

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Within an hour of starting interviews, I had the names of a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl who had died because of decisions by wealthy men in Washington.
The visit that moved me the most was to a remote area that used to have no health care, where women routinely died in childbirth. Then a US-funded maternity clinic opened through @UNFPA in December, and not one woman has died since. I showed up, and people mistakenly thought I was responsible for the clinic. One new mom wanted to name her baby for me, and the village elders thanked me and hailed America's generosity. What they didn't know was that Trump/Musk had cut all funding for UNFPA and that as a result the maternity clinic will close this month, and women will once again be bleeding to death in the dust.
Here's a giftlink to my report from ground level about what the shutdown of USAID means: https://t.co/tbgKk7ESqj

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Yes, USAID could use reform, but this is demolition. Trump braids together cruelty, ignorance and shortsightedness, and calls it policy, as the world's richest men go after the worlds poorest children. My column: https://t.co/SBSFy4Satf

Thanks for having me on the @PearHealthPod!

So fun to speak about our founding story, why I'm so grateful to be in this crazy ride alongside @ToriSeidenstein, and how to think about sales in the early days (especially if you don't consider yourself a salesperson!)

What if a coverage system implemented 60 yrs ago (#Medicare) represents the ideal scaffolding for #Insurtech startups to build upon today? @JRShecter and I share 6 key factors driving our excitement👇(1/8) @fikavc @TechCrunch https://t.co/7rs7xFWYWw

“My grandpa just turned 84 and sent me a photo of him cliff jumping in Jamaica last week. He defies the mold of what growing old can be, and a lot of that is because he’s had access to amazing healthcare.”
