"I Received a Cease and Desist" Most people fold when they get these because they know they don't have the money to fight a corporation's lawyer. So corp lawyers depend on these to bully people into things they'd never win in court and they know it. May this Streisand Effect them to hell. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ha7Tehhasjg #Maine #USpol #Healthcare #Medicare

On July 30, 1965 President Lyndon B. Johnson made Medicare and Medicaid law by signing H.R. 6675 in Independence, Missouri. Former President Truman was issued the very first Medicare card during the ceremony. #Medicare #Medicaid

The first presidential candidate to include a proposal for #UniversalHealthcare was #TheodoreRoosevelt in 1912, but the first tentative, partial step toward it was taken by #LyndonBJohnson on #ThisDayInHistory in 1965 with the addition of #Medicare & #Medicaid to #SocialSecurity.

#Trump admin is planning to scrap US #Medicare subsidies, which could leave seniors facing higher rates for their prescription coverage next year. After 2026, the government will stop providing billions in subsidies to insurance companies that keep premiums low for Medicare prescription plans.” https://newrepublic.com/post/213660/donald-trump-medicare-subsidies-seniors-drug-prices

"Sen. Andy Kim on Tuesday unveiled a proposal for all American children to receive Medicare, a program he’s dubbed MediKids, saying Democrats must bring new ideas to move the conversation on healthcare forward. Kim’s MediKids Act would automatically enroll every child into the program at birth, provide continued eligibility until the age of 26 and cover 100% of the federal medical assistance percentage for this cohort." https://thehill.com/homenews/5980026-sen-andy-kim-medikids-proposal/ #healthcare #medicare #ChildrensHealth #USpol

"The #Trump admn announced that it’s pausing $1 billion in #Medicare & #Medicaid payments to California & Minnesota [two states that strongly resisted Trump's #ICE attacks], accusing the states of widespread fraud... states have appealed these cuts in court and won. #Minnesota & #California will likely sue to get their funding back, and they’ll have plenty of evidence that the #WhiteHouse is targeting them for vindictive reasons." https://newrepublic.com/post/213335/rfk-jr-halts-medicaid-funds-california-minnesota-no-proof-fraud #DonaldTrump #Politics #News #US #USA

#California & #Minnesota won't recive more than $1 billion in federal #Medicaid payments "until the states take more steps to investigate questionable claims." The admin is also "imposing a 6-month moratorium on enrolling new hospice & home #healthcare providers in #Medicare..." #MyThoughts – Medicare too... and #hospice (of all things) and #homehealth... this is not about looking for fraud. The #TrumpAdmim is being cruel -- withholding money because it can. #USA -- https://www.axios.com/2026/07/21/trump-medicaid-freeze-california-minnesota

"One inherent issue in all medical specialties is that appropriate treatment is often in the eye of the physician beholder, meaning that specialists create the guidelines for when a treatment is in order. And financial considerations may influence that decision, Järvinen said." https://kffhealthnews.org/health-industry/knee-surgery-arthroscopic-cartilage-meniscus-finnish-study-osteoarthritis/ #healthcare #medicare #aging #orthopedics #guidelines #CostsOfCare #ConflictOfInterest

"The insurance industry is embracing MAHA, while the doctors’ lobby is pushing against the movement’s leader, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who many physicians see as a danger to public health. The opposing forces could shape Kennedy’s policy decisions on issues ranging from how much doctors earn to treat Medicare patients to how the government regulates medical services." https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/28/health-insurers-maha-rfk-doctors-00977386 #healthcare #HealthPolicy #insurance #physicians #HHS #CMS #medicare #MAHA #USpol

"President Donald Trump said Thursday he was nominating Chris Klomp to be Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s second-in-command at the Department of Health and Human Services. If the Senate confirms him, the 45-year-old tech entrepreneur would become deputy secretary overseeing the vast department’s operations." https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/25/rfk-klomp-hhs-deputy-secretary-00951039 #PublicHealth #HHS #PhRMA #DrugPrices #CostsOfCare #CMS #medicare #USpol
