Total lack of concern for what led to the development of those institutions or roles.

So health apparently is a β€œdemocrat” thing. Good to know.

Anyone else notice the woman with the β€œblack eye” had zero tissue swelling associated with it? I suppose that could have subsided after a few days…along with a lot of the discoloration.

I know, it’s shocking that the Secretary of HHS and the President might be incorrect on something.

Respiratory Gas Shifts to Delay Asphyxiation in Critical Avalanche Burial This randomized clinical trial examines the efficacy of a novel, user-carried avalanche safety device that delivers airflow from avalanche debris without requiring supplemental oxygen or a mouthpiece.

Ok, this is kind of a cool study. Not sure I'd have "volunteered" to be buried under half a meter of snow. Respiratory Gas Shifts to Delay Asphyxiation in Critical Avalanche Burial url: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This is an absolutely bizarre and non-existant scenario, that also has nothing to do with the democrats proposal.

I particularly like the quick redirection away from her treatment by Israel and back to the original point.

Great point and probably best illustrated when the animation studio responsible for Life of Pi won an Oscar…the week of declaring bankruptcy.

Many things happened since we submitted this! I'll touch on a few of them 🧡

Fortunately several states did make the telehealth flexibilities permanent for Medicaid, and private insurance won’t necessarily cease coverage. But yes, this is a dumb thing to not make permanent, and keep tying to CRs

More insurance coverage and better access to primary care also drives down ED visits.
