The MMR shot is safe and effective, and there is no credible evidence otherwise.
Breaking MMR into three shots means 3x more copays at the doctorโs office, 3x more hours of missed work, 3x more bummed out kiddos, and probably more than 3x as many kids who arenโt fully vaccinated.

1 in 5 abortion patients have to travel outside of their state to receive safe, essential health care.
Imagine driving 8 hours to see your dentist or boarding a flight to see your primary care provider. Itโs absurd.

Lots of inaccuracies floating around re: the new generic mifepristone. It's not the first generic, it's the second, and it's not a "new abortion pill." It's the same thing that's already on the market, there are just a total of three companies making the drug now (brand name and two generics).

New: Planned Parenthood Arizona says it has "made the incredibly difficult decision to suspend providing essential health care services to patients insured through Medicaid" due to federal efforts to "defund" Planned Parenthood.

THIS. i also just saw that washington state is planning to give their affiliate $11 million to cover the medicaid gap. and all i can think about is what an independent clinic could do with that money. and how long it would sustain us without all the bureaucratic overheadโฆ ๐

Yes, thank god. Letโs please start fat shaming men the way we do women. Letโs definitely imply that being fat is a threat to your masculinity. That will certainly make men healthier! ๐ฑ๐

Important because of how fat people are treated in our society but also because weight loss is hard and we have little to no understanding of how to make it happen other than saying, โHere! Take this med for the rest of your life!โ

Iโm not convinced that weight is a bigger problem than glucose control. I have seen many patients who achieve glucose control without dramatic changes in weight. Some with GLP-1โs and some without. I think we physicians should be questioning the weight-centric paradigm.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

this is truly wild. thinking about how this will impact people who need care, of course, but also the very fragile and underfunded network of FQHCs that are barely scraping by trying to provide care that is affordable to everyone, regardless of ability to pay.

ICE belongs in Diet Coke, not clinics. We created a resource to support health care providers with practical steps to protect patients and staff when ICE drops in so you can know your rights and respond with confidence. Get the guide here: prh.org/prepare-for-ice

โConfusingly, this effort is being taken up at the same time that people are Very Concerned about dropping birth rates, but it makes sense when you understand that they donโt like the children we currently have. They want us to make other ones, instead.โ
