As I and several others (including @simonfhaeder.bsky.social) discuss with NYT today, pet parent vaccine hesitancy isn't just a health risk for our four-legged friends. It's a complex health policy challenge with important public health implications.

Trump’s new spending law could leave 17 million more Americans without #health insurance by 2034.

#Medicaid cuts and new work rules mean:
✅ Less coverage + higher costs
✅ More chaos for hospitals
✅ Rural hospitals going broke

How 17M Americans enrolled in Medicaid and ACA plans could lose their health insurance by 2034
