🚨 We're in a government shutdown! What does that mean for healthcare? For now, things are largely normal for essential services. Outbreaks and recalls will still be managed. But the bulk of federal healthcare agency employees will be put on leave.

This tiger may look fierce, but even strength gets slashed when funding disappears. 🐯💚

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act would strip $1 trillion from Medicaid over the next decade. That means mental health professionals laid off, demand for care rising, and millions left without coverage or

critical behavioral health support.

👉 Mental health matters. Cutting the safety net leaves patients stranded when they need help most.

Proposed SNAP cuts are on the table and families with kids will feel it most.
As food prices continue to rise, many households are bracing for reduced support. Food banks and schools can’t fill the gap alone & adolescents, often overlooked in food policy, are paying the price
@patelnk.bsky.social

Teens are skipping meals, stretching food in unsafe ways, and facing real risks just to eat. Hunger doesn’t stay at home. It shows up in classrooms, mental health, and long-term opportunity.
And it deepens the cycle of poverty.
🍎 Food isn’t optional. It’s essential.

🎓 This Health Policy Term in 30 Seconds
Policy vs. Program
Just because someone says, “There’s a new healthcare thing!”…
doesn’t mean it actually exists yet. 👀

📃 Policy = a plan or decision
🏫 Program = the service or benefit that gets funded and rolled out

@premedical-tyga.bsky.social

Example:
🗣️ Policy: “We’re making college free!”
💰 Program: The thing that actually pays your tuition

Bottom line: Policy ≠ action until it’s passed and funded.
Don’t get played by press releases. Know the difference. 🧩
