Can’t get United Health Care to give prior authorization to a procedure that 3 doctors have requested. As a result I have no claim number so no one knows anything when I call. Help??! #uhc #unitedhealthcare

And now crazy king Ludwig is calling the shots — without Congress?

I am a candidate for a cochlear implant for single-sided deafness. FYI Cochlear implants and the new US Tariffs - by brand Advanced Bionics: 0% Cochlear: 10% MED-EL: 20% Will be interesting to see how this all plays out!

Now exploring #cochlear implant though it would take a lot of convincing to say yes to 3.5 hours under anesthesia. Anyone do this under local anesthesia?

Hall of shame:

Senators are voting this week on T’s nominee for FBI Director. Kash Patel is backed by gun extremist groups: He's threatened the press, supports violent insurrectionists, and even has an "enemies" list of public servants he's pledged to go after. Call your senator and ask them to vote NO

To write a letter to your reps in Congress, message “RESIST” to 50409! Let them know how you feel!

I’m surprised at how many here have had an acoustic neuroma. MRI Monday to rule that out as a cause of sudden deafness but hope it’s a no bc any surgery is a risk to me, already blind in one eye! 🤷‍♀️

Who is going to the Capitol on Wednesday?

I am not used to this bluesky format I don’t feel like I am interacting with anyone here. 🤷‍♀️ Trying to replace Facebook, but this is not working. What am I missing?

Michiganders of means, this is a good time to donate to Freedom House Detroit, which provides legal aid for folks seeking humanitarian asylum (freedomhousedetroit.org) & the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (michiganimmigrant.org/about-us)

Hey SE Michigan folks. If you're a notary, Freedom House in Detroit needs folks who can help with paperwork for their residents seeking asylum who are parents. DM and I'll forward you the email. Thanks.

Just putting this right here…

To contact your representative start by texting RESIST to 50409

Disability-related programs impacted by federal funding include Medicaid, SSDI, and Meals on Wheels. Cutting funding means many disabled people will not be able to receive the things they need to survive.

It’s not even 9 AM and I have to turn off social media for the day. “It is not enough to be compassionate; you must act! “ -Margaret Mead. I understand the assignment.

The central core of Trumpism is voter suppression and election subversion. Too many people only pay attention to this right before elections and forget it once elections are over. We must take this threat literally and seriously if we want to have free and fair elections in the future.

We grow up with the unacceptable, and accommodation becomes a tool we use to make our lives easier. Accommodating the unacceptable is often easier than doing the right thing. Eventually, we use it to let ourselves off the hook, because that’s easier, too. www.marytrump.org/p/there-is-n...
