Insurers sometimes deny coverage citing lack of progress, labeling patients’ conditions as chronic. Yet if they do make progress, insurers have also used that to argue patients no longer need treatment. Doctors are left to walk a tightrope. (Published Dec. 2024)

Her Mental Health Treatment Was Helping. That’s Why Insurance Cut Off Her Coverage.

Providers, patients and even some federal judges say progress-based insurance denials harm patients at key moments of mental health treatment.

Democrats are Socialists: They Support Social Security and Medicare

The new in-thing for Donald Trump and Republicans is to call their Democratic opponents socialists and communists. Their focus groups apparently show that

This is really something to consider. Trump is running up our debt while pocketing billions that should be going to the American people. Cutting subsidies we need but where is all that money going? What hes doing is calculated. The mob boss & his cronies are destroying the country to take it over.

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president" Think about that America... A sitting US Senator acting like he cannot do a fkng thing about Trump, while he continues to vote to do nothing about Trump.

1.3 million low-income seniors were supposed to get help with Medicare premiums, drug prescriptions and cost-sharing. Republicans gutted all of that in their "Big Beautiful Bill." An older couple living on $21,000 a year is about to get crushed with thousands more in out-of-pocket costs.

Can we, the United States 🇺🇸, get a good, decent, honest, honorable, and intelligent president again or is it too much to ask for ? We’re really tired of this one.

Trump promised he wouldn’t touch Medicare. Then he signed his Big Beautiful Bill that triggered billions in healthcare cuts, massively gutting Medicare. It was never beautiful. And now it's a Big Deadly Bill for anyone on Medicare. This November remember #RepublicanMedicareCuts

A second man, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, has died at Delaney Hall, the inhumane ICE detention center run by private prison contractor GEO Group. GEO Group’s profits have soared by over 700% since Trump has been back in office. Imagine profiting from death and suffering. Deplorable.

It's not just Elon Musk. Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and every multibillionaire built their fortunes the same way: by NOT paying taxes as their wealth grew. Without endless tax deferrals, they'd have a tiny fraction of what they own today. It's time they pay their fair share.

Tillis and Cornyn have caved to Trump’s $100 million IRS immunity, but that’s just one reason to reject him as AG. Here are many more:

Blanche should be blocked for IRS/slush fund AND - targeting Comey, James, Hearn, Powell, Walz, Frey, MOCs - Epstein - payouts to Flynn, Page, Babbitt, Vaughn - rejecting ethics advice to recuse from Trump cases - “war” on judiciary - “cleaning house” of DOJ personnel who worked on Trump cases

The Russian Republicans have never done anything to help the American people and their families. They are only interested in Enriching themselves and that’s it.

Uhmm... I think he forgot "the biggest lie" too.

Any mutual aid seeker from Gaza can be killed by bullets or an explosion at any time. They're keenly aware of that themselves. They go on struggling to live anyway. So know this horrifying thing.

Permanently Disabled kids shouldn’t have to face a future living on a benefit that’s not enough to survive on, where bi-yearly they have to prove they still have an incurable condition. That’s not a future they deserve, it’s dehumanising, it’s depressing & it’s unacceptable. They have worth. #nzpol

You don’t get to demand your doctor be a certain race. You don’t get to put your racism proudly on display in healthcare settings. You don’t get to demean an entire group of people and then expect them to save your life.

This past weekend, Truth Social’s $100,000 subscription service for early access to Trump’s posts went live. Last night, I introduced a bill to crack down on this corruption and ensure all Americans have free and equal access to public announcements from government officials.

In my opinion, the moment we knew we would lose the Iran War, was when Hegseth unknowingly shared classified war maneuvers on Signal with a journalist. These are not serious people. Unqualified. Unfit. Unhinged. Vote out every single Republican!

Trump promised to get the National Debt lowered. In fact he said he’d eliminate our $19T debt. Under him, it’s now approaching $40T. To make matters worse, we’re losing revenue from the immigrants leaving & tax cuts to the wealthy! #Blues

WE NEED 4 SEATS TO FLIP THE SENATE. JOSH TUREK SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM. I was researching Josh and came across one of his signature issues: Right to Repair. I had no idea how important this was. Most people in big cities probably don’t either. 🧵

Seattle understood the assignment

Voters in Kansas saw through a blatant political power grab and sent a message — our courts are not for sale.
