"Asked at a Congressional hearing about appropriations for family planning in May 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said: 'There's no plan to spend that money. We're not going to be in that business globally. We're not going to do it.'" https://www.npr.org/2026/04/29/g-s1-118041/family-planning-birth-control-condoms-aid-cuts-rubio #healthcare #GlobalHealth #USAID #ForeignAid #ForeignAssistance #CHW #midwives #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #contraception #FamilyPlanning

"Medical misdiagnosis costs hundreds of billions of dollars each year in the U.S., a financial burden that quietly drains household finances—especially for women, who are more likely to face years of repeat appointments, tests, and prescriptions before getting the right answer. For many, this means hundreds or thousands of dollars in extra bills each year, often for care that doesn’t resolve their symptoms." https://www.newsweek.com/medical-misdiagnosis-costs-billions-women-often-pay-more-11881343 #healthcare #misdiagnosis #MedicalErrors #disabilities

"When it comes to prescription drugs, the Inflation Reduction Act may be best known for giving the federal government the authority to directly negotiate prices on behalf of people with Medicare. But a less-publicized measure written into the 2022 law could turn out to be more impactful. It’s the annual cap on out-of-pocket spending for medication, which went into effect in 2024." https://undark.org/2026/04/29/drug-costs-2022-law/ #healthcare #medicare #aging #PrescriptionDrugs #DrugPrices #DrugCosts #CostsOfCare

The AI RoboDoctor Will See You Now A Harvard-led study just dropped a result that will make every #ER doctor’s stethoscope twitch. In a head-to-head against attending physicians at a Boston hospital, #OpenAI’s o1-preview reasoning model diagnosed patients more accurately at the moment of triage, just when information is sparse, time is short, and getting it wrong can kill someone. https://bit.ly/4n5bf9t #Healthcare #emergencymedicine #AI #artificialintelligence

"OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma is set to be dissolved and replaced by a company focused on the public good by the week’s end, as a massive legal settlement resolving thousands of lawsuits takes effect. A federal judge on Tuesday delivered a criminal sentence to the company to resolve a U.S. Department of Justice probe — a last necessary step to clear the way for the settlement." https://apnews.com/article/oxycontin-purdue-pharma-criminal-sentence-settlement-b8aa94eaab3d9d8efed520f272f6d810 #healthcare #PhRMA #opioids #settlement #courts

RE: https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/116450850556202127 "Taken together we believe it is NOT in patients’ best interest to consent when asked this question" You may want to read this post 👇🏻 by @emilymbender@dair-community.social before you may go to your doctor next time for an appointment, should they ask you for your consent if they can record it to become more efficient in their potential diagnosis. "How do you feel when you know you are being recorded? Are you able to be as open about whatever health matter [...]" #SovereignByDesign #GenAI #Healthcare #Privacy

Have you been asked by a medical provider recently for consent to have an “AI” scribe record your visit? Us, too. And we have thoughts

The antibiotic, augmentin, according to whatever research has been done, either kills gut bacteria that helps maintain healthy estrogen levels or is an anti-estrogen, which makes hormonal birth control ineffective. They won't say it, but it seems to also adversely affect HRT. That may lead to trouble. And there seems to be little, if any, interest in finding out more about it. Until they do, it is probably a Real Good Idea to avoid augmentin, IMO. (This message brought to you by an overall bad experience with augmentin.) #WomensHealth #TransHealth #Healthcare

"In 2023, Florida lawmakers unanimously approved expanding KidCare to close the gaps for families like Lafortune’s, raising the eligibility threshold so that coverage would extend to more than 40,000 children. But the expanded coverage has not taken effect...because the administration of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, has not implemented the changes." https://kffhealthnews.org/insurance/chip-expansion-florida-delay-children-health-coverage-uninsured-rates/ #healthcare #ACA #obamacare #medicaid #ChildrensHealth #CMS #florida

Days : Hours : Minutes : Seconds We tried our best :'( April’s basic necessities were not fully met. The goal was $625, but only $440 of that was met. The minimum for April was $375, but only $190 was received for April essentials. The rest of that $440 covered overdue March costs and groceries for the first weeks of April. Since April’s overdue utilities and internet were already handled, the remaining $185 is the groceries gap. That shortfall now carries into May. Total needed: $560 🗒️ Breakdown: $185 — April groceries gap carrying into May $375 — May basic necessities • $250 groceries • $90 utilities + water • $35 internet + phone data Monthly pledges are preferred due to disability and the constraints that come with it. However, one-off support also helps greatly. Aside from Ko-fi, other support options and social profiles are here: https://wrzky.com/links Support keeps this work alive.

"MPR News and its investigative unit APM Reports found at least 50 residents in Minnesota group homes have died since late 2022 under circumstances serious enough to trigger state maltreatment investigations. In 19 of those cases, state investigators concluded the homes had neglected those vulnerable people. Yet the group homes faced only minimal consequences." https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/04/27/minnesota-group-home-industry-50-deaths-but-few-consequences #healthcare #GroupHomes #disabilities #overdose #maltreatment #neglect #minnesota

Canada has rights and freedoms and free healthcare and gun control that keeps 40,000 people a year from being mowed down by bullets. Canada remains a democracy filled with opportunity and its citizens are welcomed around the world. In other words … Canada is the American dream. #Canada #democracy #rights #freedom #healthcare #america #MAGA #nra #gunviolence #news

"And the fact that miscarriages are more common for Black women isn’t comforting, it’s terrifying. It’s emblematic of larger societal issues — including a lack of adequate medical research — that Black people are disproportionately faced with this devastating situation." https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/black-women-miscarriage-too-common #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #miscarriages #BlackMastodon #WomensHealth
