Nurses associations in WA, OR, CA, & HI stand by our #westcoasthealthalliance leaders. Healthcare must be grounded in science, not partisan ideology. Nurses stand ready to protect our patients from the erosion of trust in our federal health agencies. @governorferguson.bsky.social @wsna.bsky.social

The American Dream doesn’t solely belong to any single group of people. It should be available to all of us.

I am honored to be included among 100 other amazing individual leaders & stories in the newly opened Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream in Washington DC.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

Do we need to split the MMR vaccine into 3 shots?

No.

-No medical reason. Current vax has no safety issues and works very well
-Kids don’t like needles. Why give them 3x the shots?
-Peds office already have limited bandwidth. Who staffs 3x the visits?

Another nonsensical, unserious “policy”

Unfortunately with confusion rampant at the top, it is falling to states and alliances like the West Coast Health Alliance to fill the void in clear healthcare messaging.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard in Portland, ruling he overstepped his authority and violated state sovereignty. The court said Trump’s move lacked any “colorable basis” and was not justified by conditions on the ground.

I'm worried about the 80,000 Washingtonians who are expected to lose access to checkups and preventive care because they can no longer afford health insurance once the ACA tax credits expire. (1/4)

PROUDLY “UNREASONABLE” - More than a thousand nurses and community members showed up Sept. 30 at the WSNA informational picket at Seattle Children’s. The hospital wants to eliminate long-held union protections and deny nurses what they need to provide safe, excellent care.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Today on Morning Joe, @vinguptamd.bsky.social called out RFK Jr. for trying to refute over 100 years of history on vaccines.

RFK Jr. said he was going to be the gold standard for science, and he's giving us the bottom of the barrel.

@cantwell.senate.gov said it best when she called out RFK Jr. as a charlatan. The worst part about this is that it has life or death implications for actual people.

What is at stake here in WA?
- 21% increase in health exchange premiums
-Estimates of 80,000 people dropping coverage if tax credits are not extended
- Rural counties may see 80-90% increase in premiums

It can seem exhausting to try & sift through misinformation of our current time, but we have trusted professionals like @vinguptamd.bsky.social who are willing to hold the line.

We need to push back against misinformation (even from the head of HHS) that directly impacts the patients we serve.

Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 6d
On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives.

Today, in response, we brought our own graphs.

We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

The Trump administration is canceling more than $1.1 billion in grants for energy projects across Washington state, including the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub. That hub will create a clean hydrogen economy across our region.

To cut through the noise and hopefully help be a useful guide in times of utter chaos and irresponsibility.
