Good thing Congress isn't alive to see this.

Last year we sued the 3 largest pharmacy benefit managers for illegal tactics that inflate the cost of insulin & other drugs.

@FTC has now indefinitely paused the case. This follows the White House's unlawful attempt to fire Commissioners Bedoya & Slaughter.

A gift to the PBMs.

Sometimes vaccine efficacy is subtle

Sometimes it isn't

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Villain of the day

Senator Bill Cassidy

A doctor

Used to work on Hepatitis B vaccination

Voted to confirm an anti vaccine conspiracy theorist for HHS head

He knows better

Shameful

You spent decades treating individuals, but now you have the opportunity to protect the health of all Americans- the consequences of your decision will impact generations to come. Tomorrow remember that first and foremost you are a physician, and you must be the voice for us all.

[Kristy Abraham Kozhimala @kristy_abraham_]

Dear @BillCassidy, like most of us I’m sure there are patients you’ve treated that you will remember for your lifetime. Tomorrow, keep those patients (and the vaccines that keep them safe) in your mind as you contemplate RFK Jr’s nomination.

Could not be more grateful to @ACPIMPhysicians for the opportunity to live and work in DC for a month as an intern on the hill. Ended on a high note with another wonderful Leadership Day Conference this year! #ACPLD

Remember ladies, we don't engage in imposter syndrome while George Santos is in Congress.

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

A non-medical friend recently asked me to describe clinic. I told her to imagine you have 20 meetings in a day, half of them new clients with urgent needs. Each requires your best self. You are late for at least 10 of them. You must prepare a report and deliverables for each one.

The ED chief complaint of “My wife made me come in” has a 100% positive predictive value of being something really really bad

The cover

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

There’s a lot I wanna say here, but Greg Abbott basically just told closeted trans children that if they come out, his state government is going to take them away from their affirming parents.

Imagine being a closeted, scared trans child with that responsibility on your heart.

Warnock is so good at this it's almost unfair to the other senators

[NOAH CAINE @NoahCaine]

to make it here without dying is the epitome of white privilege
