This would also hurt people with chronic illness who rely on continuous care and treatment!

Here's hoping Members of Congress vote against the proposal to cut US health insurance benefits.

Peer-reviewed analysis of the May 2025 bill "... would increase the number of uninsured persons by 7.6 million and the number of deaths by 16 642 annually, according to a mid-range estimate."

I'm personally glad to see our CDC ACIP still doing its work to provide vaccine advice based on best science which will be helpful for doctors and patients/families:
www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp...
Child Immunization Schedule Notes
Guide health care providers in determining recommended vaccine types, dosing frequencies and interva

Thanks! I think CAR-T will either crush it in trials, or inspire other tx (eg BiTES) to provide long term medication free remission. You'll know when I make it back to the leaderboard! 😃

My first post! Good news/bad news- #RheumMadness 2025 is here! Aaaaaand my bracket is busted on day 1! Blue Ribbon Panel did not *ahem* appreciate the promise of CAR-T cures like I do. Cheers to great scouting report writers, RM leadership, and the 3 outstanding BRP voters who saw it my way 🤣
