Minority Report. Next question.
Do people really remember what their first DVD or bluray purchase is? When asked I'm like i don't have a clue. I cant remember what happened yesterday. I'm not going to remember the first disc I bought 30/20yrs years ago
there has never been a more predetermined literary reference than the one at the top of this piece (super cool story/study, to be clear) scientificamerican.com/article/optimi…
I can go buy Coke with cane sugar at my grocery store *right now*
Coca-Cola said it will add a cane-sugar version of its trademark cola to its US lineup this fall, confirming a recent announcement by President Trump. trib.al/O7xPOSS
But don't worry, states will be able to effectively implement a Medicaid work requirement and only the "undeserving" who shouldn't have coverage will lose it. For sure, man, for sure: kffhealthnews.org/news/article/g…
Mr. Secretary: Eric Garcia, an #ActuallyAutistic journalist. I have an explanation. Initially, I couldn't get an autism diagnosis in 1994, when Asperger's Syndrome entered the DSM. It took around 4 years for me to get a diagnosis. Science got better. harpercollins.com/products/were-…
In 1970, Autism was rare: fewer than 1 in 10,000 children. Today, it’s 1 in every 31. We owe it to our children to find out why.
the warnings that Medicaid cuts will lead to hospitals and health clinics closing across the country and especially in rural areas is not hyperbole or hysteria. it's basic math x.com/mattmfm/status…
Curtis is a small town of 900 people in rural southwest Nebraska. The Curtis Medical Center announced yesterday it is closing, after more than 30 years. It is the only health care provider in the community. They blame Trump’s Medicaid cuts. klkntv.com/rural-southwes…
It'll be an interesting test case. The ACA's delayed implementation certainly didn't help Dems at all in 2010.
A challenge for Ds who expect the passage of this bill to help them win elections is that it may take a while for people to feel the full negative effects. Rs front loaded some temporary tax cuts for working people and backloaded cuts to Medicaid to hit after the midterms.
One thing that’s genuinely novel to me about this tax bill is that at least three major models have “dynamic” scoring estimates — estimates that account for subsequent economic growth — finding the bill to be more, not less, expensive, because higher interest costs slow growth
So does anybody actually know what’s in the bill as of right now?
Rs are betting they can destroy the social safety net for millions of Americans and enough of them won't notice or won't care enough to vote on it the next time around. There will be much rejoicing after passage today. I'll be curious to see how this bet pays out in 5-10 years
Thousands of projected deaths per year is “immaterial” vox.com/health/417639/…
Everything else—the CBO score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policy—is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions.
Republicans could have not devoted ~20% of the benefits of their tax bill to the top 1%. This would have made it easier for them to not cut Medicaid by close to $1 trillion. Steve Bannon and some other MAGA voices wanted them not to go down this route, but they overwhelmingly…
It’s worth stipulating what millions of people losing Medicaid really means: Fewer people are going to get medical services and some of those people are going to die. vox.com/health/417639/…
