Throughout its history the Supreme Court has mostly functioned to curtail freedoms, with few exceptional periods and moments. We need to recognize the Court as a threat to rights, not something to forever pine after fruitlessly. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/0…

While the overwhelming majority of New Yorkers walk, use micromobility, or take transit, they get less than 25% of the space on our streets. If NYC wants to reach its climate goals, achieve Vision Zero, or give people better ways to get around, our streets must change.

Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in The New Yorker newyorker.com/news/dispatch/…

MRI denial today; called <1 hr after denial received and was told that the window for reconsideration had expired. When I asked what that window was they hung up on me. There is no negative consequence of single payer that would outweigh burning these companies to the ground.

I recently told someone “therapy ain’t gonna make me work one fewer day per week.” Nothing validates that feeling like this graph. Like, no wonder I’m in a much worse mood when I am on a more time consuming rotation lol

Congratulations to the 1,200+ residents and fellows of Montefiore Health System who are organizing to improve both their working conditions and health care access in the Bronx. When you invest in resident physicians, you invest in patient care. #MonteIsUnionYes

Medicare Advantage's business model revolves around three strategies: (1) Upcoding to make patients' look "sicker", increasing payments from CMS. (2) Avoiding sicker patients, reducing costs. (3) Deterring use of care and retaining the savings as overhead/profit. 1/8

the American healthcare system lost any right to be run for profit years ago. single payer health insurance isn’t far enough, all of this needs to be nationalized, everything needs to be taken from people like this without compensation and by force

Mount Sinai has decided to defund our Family Medicine Residency. This decision is an incredibly ugly and greedy one that will hurt some of the neediest patients in NYC. Sign our petition to stop them!!! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
