United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.
How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage
Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

We used to steal intelligence from other countries. We're going to experience unheralded brain drain here
Deeply upsetting but not surprising:
“policies defunding everything from scientific research to public health have damaged the U.S.'s reputation to the point where she hears from hospitals and universities that top international talent are no longer interested in coming to America” 🧪
“policies defunding everything from scientific research to public health have damaged the U.S.'s reputation to the point where she hears from hospitals and universities that top international talent are no longer interested in coming to America” 🧪
'Nobody wants to come': What if the U.S. can no longer attract immigrant physicians?
Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.
Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

Nursing is to white women what being a police officer is to white men.
Yeah, sure, some people get into it because they want to help people, and some people are genuinely really good at their jobs!
But the whole foundation is based on being in a position of power over vulnerable people.

It’s the control. It’s also why nurses are often abusive
And why when DEI was being done a lot of white women ended up “in charge”
They believe “other” folks should be managed and they are the people to do it

I know it’s not the point, but taking a whole ass job just to try to screw over a tiny minority of people who have done nothing but exist (and take up space in your psyche I guess) is some absolutely baffling behavior.
She’s making major life decisions based on that! Bananapants stupid.
