@banter44 @annievanb @Cigna In addition to the general stress of illness and navigating a broken and expensive healthcare system now their only chance is to pay a shit ton of money to also navigate a broken legal system

It’s utterly dystopian. America(USA specifically ) is rigged 🇺🇸

so in 2024 you decided to be WORST and not have IUDs for people who benefit most from reliable, long acting reversible contraception. your only covered LARC is nexplanon which only lasts 3 yrs and for many people isn't an ideal option

hey @ILMeridian

why did you REMOVE IUDs from your formulary list, your medicaid patients can get a nexplanon, depo and a LOOONNNGGG list of oral contraceptives, but no IUD? what the heck?

@Kenny___Rose The men complaining on this that “oh he must be hot” are the same men who insult random women on the internet for not being attractive

Anyone have experience donating books to jails and prisons? like are they going to let me send anything other than a Bible if I pay for it or are they worried inmates might actually feel a lil joy for a minute?

Congress has no response for the rise in maternal & infant mortality in the US

But they can get together to pass a resolution of support for Israel’s genocide over the objections of most Americans

Seriously f— them all & I mean that.

@TrumpGal12 @JuddLegum Worth noting that the 30% increase is from 6 per 100,000 to 7 per 100,000

So while a large relative increase, it’s a small absolute increase
