Challenges faced by oncs, per @barbarasegarra.bsky.social • Knowledge mngmnt: esp 4 oncs in comm settings who treat ALL #cancers (85% pts treated there) • Admin burden: coding, denials • Tx decisions: changes all the time & it's based on what ins will cover • Care coordination • Burnout! #CanSky

"Bookworms, rejoice: B&N plans to return 2 downtown #Seattle, per recent city filings. The bookseller has leased a property, previously occupied by The North Face, at 520 Pike St., per a permit filed Monday. The company’s website has the store slated to open in April." Still better than u-know-who.

"Pts suffer when peer-2-peer reviews are opaque & unaccountable. If insurers require thm, then basic standards must be enforcd. Until reforms are made, ths remains a dangerous, arbitrary & unfair barrier 2 care." #CanSky #MedSky #IDSky Thinking of u, @fumikochino.bsky.social & all my #cancer peeps.

4 out of 5 people who rely on the ACA tax credits live in states that Trump won. And over 80 percent of the people who will end up uninsured if these expire are in Trump states! This is a MAGA health care hike, yet Trump won't lift a finger to save your health care.

Americans want sane, stable leadership that is focused on lowering the cost of living. People are already fed up with the chaos and corruption of the Trump administration. Republicans should LISTEN and work with us to reopen government and save the ACA tax credits.
