Y’ALL
the #FDA under the Trump regime waited for 14 people to die before putting out a #listeria warning with these frozen supplements; ―which are usually used to treat people in a variety of medical recovery situations like #cancer treatment, feeding problems, eating disorders, #dementia and elder care.
this didn’t even happen during Trump 1.0. this is #DOGE and #Project2025 #MAGA fascism
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked even me.
Drug companies in the U.S. face few restraints on what to charge for their products. A bipartisan bill would penalize those companies that sell their drugs at higher prices than the average of the prices in other wealthy nations.

"You'll be shocked to learn that mainstream media, amid its frenzied coverage of that #Biden book and #cancer diagnosis, is missing the story that matters most to Americans
A vengeful #Trump has shot down Biden's cancer 'moonshot,' with funding down 31%."
So an insurance company gatekeeper who identified themself as a nurse told me, an oncologist, that they didn’t need to provide an oncologist to review my patient’s denial, that “any of their doctors” could do so
So I asked them if they or their loved one were diagnosed with cancer, did that mean they wouldn’t want to see an oncologist (cancer specialist), as “any doctor” would do?

#SCOTUS upholds #SouthCarolina’s ban on #Medicaid funds for #PlannedParenthood
The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed SC to bar Planned Parenthood's access to federal Medicaid funding for NON-abortion services. The decision allows states to #ban the org from getting Medicaid reimbursements for #cancer screenings & other care not related to #abortion.

BE KIND IN THIS HEAT
i have been thisclose to an #autistic meltdown because the A/C in my apartment is broken and i have had problems sleeping at night.
also, as many of y’all know, it has not been a year since my last #cancer treatment. my body is still coping with the after-effects of chemo, immunotherapy and radiation. my nuclear boob is still breaking out in a rash if it’s too hot or too sunny.
so just a reminder: the heat exacerbates many conditions.
be mindful. be kind. #fuckCancer
