Written by the bipartisan co-chairs of the Aspen Institute rural health meeting I attended a couple of weeks ago. It summarizes one of the takeaway messages from our report - cuts to Medicaid will be devastating for rural health care and rural health.

Whoops! Damn data again. We really gotta stop tracking this stuff so people can lie more freely.

"American life expectancy in 1960 was almost ten years shorter than it is today: 69.7 years. And the leading causes of death were, in fact, chronic diseases."

We need you--every single one of you-- in the US to stand up, right now, and fight for NSF, NIH, USGS, NASA, USDA. Agencies Congress empowered to serve the public with impactful science and innovation. This is not a drill. This is our last stand. After this, there will be nothing left to fight for.

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.
