[Bob Herman @bobjherman]

Absolutely crazy: Delaware is raising the health insurance premiums of state employees by *27%* next year, and state leaders are admitting here that this single hike will wipe away *seven years* of their salary increases. A gargantuan pay cut. https://t.co/URibMr1saf

In their new Forefront article, @hartleyDM from @CincyChildrens and the contributing authors in the thread discuss how “system hesitancies” hindered effective public health responses and continue to impede our collective public health preparedness. https://t.co/8EaU8OYa6W

New Funding Opportunity: Policy Research to Advance the Inclusion of Immigrant Families and Children

The focus of this CFP is on research about policies that can contribute to the full social, economic, and civic inclusion of immigrant families in American society. It intentionally centers immigrant children and families and the essential support and caregiving that happens within families and their communities. P4A seeks to understand how immigrants and their families, especially children, can be valued and included most fully in all dimensions of life in the United States and how policies can drive systemic change that broadens public acceptance and support of all families, especially immigrant children and families.

Interested researchers should submit a Letter of Intent by February 16, 2023 at 3 p.m. ET. The proposal deadline will be July 23, 2024 at 3 p.m. ET

For the full details and to register for the Information Webinar - December 15th, go to https://t.co/IdodvUeRAO and click on Call for Proposals.

"If you have to worry about whether you have food for dinner that evening, and for the rent on Friday, you have little space to think about anything else. Such stress can permanently affect the development of your children". https://t.co/TWc20qHwOo

[Black Mamas Matter Alliance @BlkMamasMatter]

This latest effort to roll back hard-won maternal health equity advancements is just the tip of the iceberg, and proof that attacks on our human right to quality, culturally-responsive healthcare is real! We need effective state policies that protects our health rights.

“Dying prematurely, has become the most telling measure of the nation’s growing inequality.

The mortality crisis did not flare overnight. It has developed over decades, with early deaths an extreme manifestation of an underlying deterioration…” #VitalConditions

"Dying prematurely, The Post found, has become the most telling measure of the nation’s growing inequality." https://t.co/CXTNjP95eN

Essential thread/reading for anyone interested in understanding life and death conditions in the USA today.

Some of this draws on data and conversations Ryan Masters, Steve Woolf, and I shared with the Post team over a year ago.

“America is increasingly a country of haves and have-nots, measured not just by bank accounts and property values but also by vital signs and grave markers. Dying prematurely… has become the most telling measure of the nation’s growing inequality” https://t.co/C9ZBIVzdMi

[Brian Rahmer @brianrahmer]

“Millions of collective years of life that never happen because working people are left at the bottom of the income distribution and the wrong side of the educational binary, then have everything they need to live on extracted from them, turned into wealth for the upper class.”

[Joel Achenbach @JoelAchenbach]

"The trail of death is so prevalent that a person could go from Virginia to Louisiana to Kansas within counties where death rates are higher than when Jimmy Carter was president." https://t.co/CXTNjP95eN

This is a great story and a necessary corrective to the notion that overdoses and gun violence are the only things driving the mortality crisis
