@yuhline We've spent over $10k on healthcare this year so far. This doesn't include our monthly payments. When evaluating health plans, we assume we will hit the deductible every year, which we usually do. There are spreadsheets.

@astar_alone I was in the ATX airport on Sunday. The coffee was gross. I kept saying that it tastes like the water is bad. When I landed, I found my water bottle water, which I had refilled in Austin, was not drinkable.

After my pregnancies, I had to have surgery so I would stop peeing on myself when I jumped or sneezed. My insides need to be rearranged & a stent was put in to "fix" the issue. It was a long recovery that I'm still working on. I love my kids, but my body will never be the same.

This thread is 🔥🔥🔥 Best commentary of the day.

I'm a Gen xer...my young boomer mom passed away last year. She left us some clothes that were xxl and us a couple boxes of DVDs that I had bought for her while she lived in her nursing home. The government took her house and all of her assets to pay for her care.

[Heather Roell @hroell]

Don't forget about the gender-affirming care! Heaven forbid parents and their doctors decide medical needs for their children.

[Erin Zwiener @ErinForYall]

Same person who’s eager to sign a bill to require the 10 Commandments in Texas classrooms arguing for parental rights.

What if parents have a different faith? What if they want to be the ones to teach their kids about religion?

Freedom of religion is under attack in Texas.

This is fantastic! My son had to undergo monthly doses of costly drug Synagis during winter months until he was two to protect him from RSV. The vaccine will improve lives of sooo many families. ❤️❤️

[Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 @HelenBranswell]

It's taken decades, but there is finally a vaccine to protect against serious disease from #RSV. This one's for adults 60 and older, from #GSK. Options for protecting infants coming later this year. https://t.co/MEv0CrfrtR

Did you know inflation is up 17% since June 2019?

That was the last time Texas increased per-student funding for public schools. Funding that doesn’t keep up with inflation means reduced opportunities for students. #txlege #PubEd

How much of the stuff we put in the blue bin in Austin is actually recycled? The city's residential recycling is more effective than you might think.

@DrJenGunter No! It's perfect. You look beautiful!!

[MothersAgainstGregAbbottPAC/MothersforDemocracyPAC @MomsAGAbbott]

There are several Public Education hearings to review teacher pay and student allotment. Please contact your Legislators and tell then to increase teacher pay the $445 amount is not enough and $50 increase in allotment per student is also not enough. #txlege

The last day to register to vote before the May elections is April 6th. Get those teenagers registered.

Dang. Can you guess why I'm sitting at the Dr office today?

[it’s dr. cat lady to you @doctorcatladyy]

Highlight of my AAFP board studying today: "Women who have had a UTI are quite adept at self-diagnosis. Studies show women who suspect they have a UTI are >85% accurate based on cultures. This is more accurate than dipstick, which has 75% sensitivity and 82% specificity."

What are we doing about our updated boosters which are estimated to start waning in 4-5 months? I had mine 5 months ago.

Anyone?

[Nicole Lee Schroeder, PhD @Nicole_Lee_Sch]

Lol at the CDCs recommendations that high risk people avoid crowded areas. So I'm supposed to lose access to healthcare, education, and work? If we're going to bar high risk people from public spaces then at LEAST pay us universal basic income and grant quality home health care.
