The need for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza is getting more urgent with every passing hour.

The parties to the conflict & the international community face an immediate & fundamental responsibility:

Stop this inhuman collective suffering & dramatically expand humanitarian aid.

Firearm-related injury is now the leading cause of death among children and teens. We continue to fail to protect our youth from a preventable cause of death. https://t.co/CC470Gawwf

"Does the No Surprises Act help me if I don't have health insurance?
Yes. As of January 2022, medical providers have to provide uninsured or self-pay patients with an itemized good-faith estimate of medical costs, upon request or after the service is scheduled."

@victoriaregisk @KHNews Congrats, Victoria!

January 2022 will be a difficult month, with substantial disruptions to everyday life. Let us resolve to be patient and kind, and to regain the collective spirit that was long ago lost. Take positive action to reduce transmission, and look out for your neighbors and colleagues.

Lot of ?s about “we’re all getting COVID anyway and omicron seems mild so why not just get it over with.” Worth avoiding because

1) some will still get severe illness
2) even with mild illness some will get long COVID
3) everyone who gets it may play a role in transmission

A former nurse at Scripps Memorial Hospital showed columnist @Davidlaz screenshots of the facility’s electronic health record system.

The screenshots show price hikes ranging from 575% to 675% being automatically generated by the hospital’s software. https://t.co/5KENNuWvIz

For years now, children and young people have been increasingly experiencing distress. The pandemic has exacerbated hardships, and now the Surgeon General has sent up a flare of warning about the mental health challenges confronting youth. w @howardblume

This is the deadliest year on record for trans and non-binary people. At least 47 trans and non-binary people have been murdered in the United States in 2021.

Today is #TransDayOfRemembrance, reflecting on the souls our community has lost to violent bigotry.

CBO estimates that the drug pricing provisions in the Build Back Better Act will have a very modest impact on the number of new drugs coming to market in the U.S. over the next 30 years: 10 fewer out of 1,300, a reduction of 0.8%.
