Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

What does freedom mean to you?

Have you asked your low info voter friends that?

Have you told them what it means to you? Does it mean masked men brutalizing random peopleβ€”guns in your faceβ€”tear gas on your street?

Have you ever shared a video about #ICELawlessness?

Silence is complicity.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal β€” and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Why the CMA Must Break with the AMA If the CMA follows AMA’s lead, it is only a matter of time before convoy-aligned doctors in Canada are positioned as β€œexperts” inside Ottawa.

Florida just equated childhood vaccination with slavery.

The CMA’s response? Linking arms with the AMAβ€”an institution that looked away as disinformation captured U.S. medicine.

Solidarity isn’t policy. Canada needs independence, not borrowed outrage.

Authoritarianism never responds kindly to bending the knee. @ama-assn.org you are completely on the wrong side of the history to give more credibility to Mehmet Oz.

All this, to bend the knee to Trump. Even worse, the new boss in town at the AMA, John Whyte, is holistic-woo adjacent and may be helping MAHA to eventually control the AMA (playing the long game).

- if you bring a poster to protest Oz, you may be subject to removal by police
- if you attempt to protest, you will be expelled from the AMA, and will be required to report this

Prosecute all who do this.
The most basic rule of gun ownership is to not point it at anything you don’t intend to destroy. ICE was engaging in intimidation. Document them all and prosecute them all.

The plan to end vaccines is to say that every study requires an inordinate number of patients and resources to carry out before the current FDA will review it.
When companies decide it is too expensive to make any new vaccines, they will stop making new vaccines.

'It's insane': ACA policyholders say soaring health insurance premiums are jeopardizing lives Colorado mom Astrid Storey, a thyroid cancer patient with an autoimmune disorder, was recently notified of a jump in her monthly premiums under the Affordable Care Act.

Trump & the Republican Congress don't even have the concepts of a plan to help them and sadly the Senate deal only promises a vote & not a solution. We need people in Congress with the courage to actually help Americans afford their health care. #healthcare #shutdown
