Kentucky hospital group warns of closures, reduced services, job losses due to Medicaid cuts Healthcare in Kentucky is facing a tough future with billions in Medicaid cuts on the horizon, according to the Kentucky Hospital Association.

“The Kentucky Hospital Association warns that without state and federal intervention, healthcare facilities across the state will be forced to reduce services, lay off medical staff, and in some cases, shut down completely…That's not fearmongering. It's simply a fact”.

Correct.

🤣

I probably would be!

A shocking number, but I used to use it to fall asleep, so anything I would have learned had to have happened in the first 20 minutes—after they’ve found a first suspect who definitely didn’t do it but before they found the third who definitely did do it.

😂 I love this.

IIIIIIIIIII’m not so sure about that. But one difference between me and Kennedy is that I know I don’t know a damn thing about the law.

As Mr. Kennedy says, it’s the only way to go!

I know you did not ask for it, but in my legal opinion you are more than qualified to lead the construction of any bridge, dam, or high-rise due to your proficiency with LEGO. But please read the disclaimer.

So I’ve removed a large number of “do not remove” tags throughout my life. It’s not a crime if you don’t get caught, so my advice is to delete this post, remove the tag, and be very quiet about it. But please read the disclaimer.

It may be reassuring to know that I’ve recently watched some YouTubes and read some Facebook posts, so I feel I’m ready*.

*Again, I am not a lawyer. You should absolutely NOT listen to me on legal issues. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

In honor of RFK Jr., an attorney who knows nothing about science yet leads HHS, I hereby offer to answer any and all of your legal questions*.

*I am a scientist and have no knowledge, training or experience in the law. You definitely shouldn’t take legal advice from me.

Ha, what a cool account!

I know several excellent doctors in Nigeria.

Not on Twitter.

They have largely made their decisions based on tribalism and emotion. Facts cannot be used to change such minds.

Twitter is a complete waste of time and effort. The algorithm cannot be defeated.

Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don’t. His statements yesterday are so egregious that I’m not going to do that today.

Yes.

Most of us have, but not the Republican Congress.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the head of a disinformation campaign against vaccines that is harming and will continue to harm Americans.

Republicans encourage it.

I’m not reposting his latest lies from Twitter, because they are egregious, offensive, and an insult to every scientist.

It would definitely help.

Your assessment of this company is so charitable it should apply for 501(c)(3).

Best I can tell it’s growing exponentially atm

Photo of a derelict bathroom. There are filthy white tiles on the wall and the floor looks like it’s been flooded multiple times from the debris all over it. The sink and toilet are covered in something brown.

🎯 How I always imagine “the clinic”:

No no no it’s the chondroitin, silly. You’re wellnessing all wrong!

Do they really?

lol

I think both of these terms carry equal weight, which is to say none.

I am aware of this and have posted about it extensively, as well as publishing numerous OpEds and doing interviews on the topic. The point is that while some effects will be instant and obvious, others will remain obscured for awhile.

As I said, it’s hard to get this point across.
