Did you know that most Americans actually have health insurance? And yet, our healthcare system is an abomination where gaps in coverage and high costs are the norm.
The solution? You already know. #MedicareForAll
Our care workers & family caregivers deserve better wages & working conditions.
That’s why Rachael (Rachael King) & Carl, Ady Barkan’s wife & son, & Izamar (@BarriosIzamar), one of Ady’s caregivers, headed to DC to join w/ other allies & call on our electeds to invest in care.
Care workers don't get nearly as much appreciation as they deserve.
Join us in honoring the caregivers in your life! Use our easy tool to share your story and show your appreciation for your caregiver(s).❤️ #TheCareEconomy #CareCantWait

.Neera Tanden🌻 spells it out: when it comes to winning care, “our biggest obstacles are cynicism and fatalism. We win when we have big ideas and a movement behind them. That movement is growing and we are closer than ever to winning” #TheCareEconomy

medpagetoday.com/publichealthpo… Prior Authorizations in pain medicine equate to a) patient misery and, b) ridonculous insurance profits. I see this as particularly true in pain medicine. Pain docs are fighting this; patients with pain need to do the same. #ItTakesAVillage
