Did you know blood clots are often preventable? Top risk factors:

- Immobility
- Surgery, major injury
- Cancer, certain treatments
- Family or personal history
- Hormones, pregnancy or postpartum

From head to toe, take control. 💙

My patient recently lost his Medicaid insurance and couldn’t afford his meds.

Just calculated the cost of his 13 💊 which would be $2300/month. That’s around $27,500/year.

The FPL for a family of 4 is ~$32,000.

This is not sustainable for the health and lives of our patients!

Heard from #AHRQ that the entire grants staff has been let go! They are unable to issue funds for grants already funded, let alone fund new grants. This is outrageous and will make Americans poorer and sicker. Why? A brief thread about just some recent AHRQ-funded research: #MedSky #HealthPolicy
