Last night, SNL had a skit that was a great illustration of the impact of patient-centered, non-stigmatizing care. Yes, it’s utterly silly and absurd, but like all great comedy it is rooted in and revealing of truth.

As a Brit, I've been watching the American election results with sorrow for my American friends. Some are comparing it to the Brexit vote here, imagining if we'd voted for Brexit twice. But here's the thing... in a sense, we did. And here are some lessons from it. 🧵
@JDVance Interesting you don’t mention the rapid pace with which private equity/hedge funds have gobbled up homes in many communities across the country, forcing prospective buyers out of ownership and trapping them in a rental market these firms monopolize. https://t.co/8YgqXZM9Vp
Even though preventive care is supposed to be free by law for millions of Americans thanks to the Affordable Care Act, many don’t receive the recommended preventive services, especially racial and ethnic minorities and other at-risk patient groups.

There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors.
In the end, we, the American people-not any of our institutions-have to save our democracy by registering and voting in defense of our freedoms the next two months.
We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.
@HeatherTDay Beg to differ. I flew cross-country yesterday. Checked bag. Put purse under seat (with book, headphones, snacks etc in it) and backpack overhead (laptop, meds, other noncheckables). Not room for both under seat. Checking suitcase doesn’t forfeit overhead bin access.
We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements.
Over and over and over.

The assumption that comprises the frontage of the edifice is that women must have a point, and that certain men (them) are the ones who will define that point and make all adjudications about whether that point has been achieved.
