New doctor.
New eye doctor.
New dentist.
Not so fun fact, in America, your dentist and eye doctor are often not included with your health insurance, because oddly, they do not count eye care and dental care as health.
Yes, we're a broken, backwater, 4th world country when it comes to either health or insurance.

“A surge of grant cancellations hit researchers focused on the health of gay, lesbian and #transgender people last week, as the Trump administration continues to target what it describes as ideologically driven science.”

Cuba, who we have placed sanctions on for 60 years, has a higher life expectancy than the United States.
Why?
Healthcare.

@bicmay@med-mastodon.com"State Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, filed Senate Bill 31. He said this would ensure that doctors who practice obstetrics and gynecology must take a course to know what the law is, and the course must also be available to hospital lawyers as well.
'Our goal is to make the statutes crystal clear,' said Hughes. 'So there is no excuse, no delay in treating moms that need help and making sure that docs know what the law is.'"
WTF?!
The US sent a questionnaire to FOREIGN research organizations?
"The questionnaire asks whether the research:
-works with ‘entities associated with communist, socialist or totalitarian parties’
-takes ‘appropriate measures’ to ‘defend against gender ideology’
It appears to be in line with President Trump’s new agenda: drastic cuts to scientific research on climate, gender, health and environment."
@InfoDumpTruck@mastodon.socialThis man illustrated something we all need to see. And I'm not even talking about what he did or said.
Its how the news about him is treated.
In my whole life, I have never seen such an obvious propaganda effort from the ruling class to protect evil and its power. I've never even used the term "ruling class" until now, as it sounded too conspiratorial. Its not.
I understand now.

From the @texastribune: Two people have been arrested and charged with performing illegal abortions at a Houston-area health clinic, the first criminal charges brought under the state’s near-total #abortion ban. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-first-abortion-arrests-attorney-general-investigation/
@grrlscientist@mstdn.socialTHIS is what billionaires are SUPPOSED to do!
"Michael Jordan opens 4th FREE health clinic for uninsured families in Charlotte, NC."
Imagine being told you’d never walk again only to take your first steps two years later, thanks to a groundbreaking brain-spinal implant.
That’s the reality for a paralyzed man in China, who is moving again within days of receiving this revolutionary surgery.
It’s the first implant of its kind that doesn’t rely on an external computer, marking a monumental leap in medical innovation.
The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only about 100 comments so far.
Please comment if you're in the US, and boost

@e_wann_a@mathstodon.xyz Healthcare for your pet is just as bad as healthcare for yourself, in America, if not worse.
Healthcare for a person, your health insurance usually pays their part with you paying a copay. However, healthcare for a pet, expects you to pay the full price up front, and then manually submit a claim to be reimbursed, at which time you learn if they will approve your claim, and how much money you may (or may not) get back. To make matters worse, some places will charge you more if they know you have insurance.
Insurance in the United States really does appear to be a scam.

@wdlindsy@toad.social"These cuts, both to staff and grants, reflect a broader move to shift how the NIH allocates its $48 billion dollar research budget, from processes governed by scientific expertise, to processes governed by partisan judgements."

@wdlindsy@toad.social"There is widespread reporting of hundreds of grant cancellations at the National Institutes for Health (NIH)—with significantly more coming. This is in the context of ongoing funding freezes and chaotic layoffs of its expert staff, most of whom have PhDs in the fields for which they oversee review and funding processes."
