As reported out of the House E&C Committee, the reconciliation bill would cut the 90% #Medicaid expansion matching rate to 80% for any expansion state that uses its own funding to provide coverage to undocumented immigrants. 14 states + DC do so for kids and smaller number cover others (3/X)

Under the "ICHIA" option enacted in 2009, states can provide #Medicaid and CHIP coverage to certain legal immigrant children and pregnant women. Most states have taken up this option - 38 states for kids and 32 states for pregnant women (2/X): www.kff.org/report-secti...

Thread. 33 of 40 #Medicaid expansion states (+DC) will now face a 10 point cut in their expansion match rate under House GOP reconciliation bill. Latest language penalizes not only states using own funds to cover undocumented kids but also states covering legal immigrant kids/pregnant women (1/x)

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?

It's been so long, I barely remember how to run #PelotonMed! Anyway, drop your username and a little intro below! @jenschuette25.bsky.social @gretchemaben.bsky.social @glibrizzi27.bsky.social @pccmdoc.bsky.social @doctorbecki.bsky.social @kylemacquarrie.bsky.social @jennamillermd.bsky.social

All star panel on gun violence prevention with the great @drannieandrews.com leading off. #PAS2025

PAS2025 posters!!!! Some random ones I enjoyed. Decent agreement with manual and QR code attendance at resident conference.

Important not to overtest. There is no test for confirming pain. Families don’t hear what they say, they are looking at our reaction. When we order more tests, we are sending the message that families should worry. Diagnosis needs a good history & physical exam. Not everyone needs testing.

A favorite session every year

Irony: Scrolling through X, seeing post after post of anti-vaccine rhetoric. On the same day that my pediatric practice forms its first-ever Measles Task Force. Our children and grandchildren will never understand how we allowed this to happen. 2025. Making Measles Great Again

“We support the editorial independence of medical journals and their First Amendment rights to free expression. The Journal actively fosters scholarly scientific dialogue and remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting authors, readers, and patients” @nejm.org quoted by @aniloza.bsky.social

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

Tell us again that this isn't our lane. 93,022 firearm injury ED visits from 2018–2023 in just 9 states + DC. That’s 1 every 30 minutes. Nighttime, weekends, and holidays saw the most. www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice sent letters to scholarly journals inquiring about their process and principles. As an organization, we respect and support the CHEST journal's editorial leadership and long-standing reputation. Read more here: www.chestnet.org/newsroom/che...

These weekly emails about #NIH funding opportunities are now downright depressing.

For herd immunity against measles, 92-95% of the population must be vaccinated. As a live vaccine MMR can’t be given to pts who are immune suppressed (including pts receiving chemo/radiation or immunosuppression) And it’s not effective in newborns. So if you CAN get it, we REALLY need you to.

What are all of the #PelotonMed people up to? It's been a minute! I don't think we have enough traction yet for an official account @pccmdoc.bsky.social @gretchemaben.bsky.social @saltylungs.medsky.social @glibrizzi27.bsky.social @docwithbowtie.bsky.social @cmount.bsky.social @tchoumd.bsky.social

Thank you @annieandrewsmd.bsky.social for your tireless advocacy, especially in these times!

If Republicans ever remember how to govern and actually pass this budget that guts Medicaid- it’s bad news for all of us. TV

If you have to take a daily pill to reduce your risk of heart disease, wouldn't it be easier get your meds at the pharmacy 4 days/yr instead of 12? We made a simple tweak in the default order that made things easier for patients and reduced disparities... 🧵👇#nudge jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

After 10 years in academic medicine, I've learned a few things - often by messing up or making assumptions. Here's a quick 🧵on 5 things I've learned that may be helpful for the budding academic...

I remember the cystic fibrosis patients I took care of 20 years ago. I also remember the dedicated HIV wards in the hospitals, and that Princess Diana made headlines for shaking hands with AIDS patients. Progress has been incredible. Miracles are where you choose to see them.

Dinner is 32 pizza rolls and a lacroix I won’t be taking any questions Thank you

SMALL THREAD i mean small thread We don’t like recycling content but a bunch of new folks have joined Bluesky so here’s a catch-up for those funky new people. Altmetric started tracking mentions of Bluesky in December of ‘24. bsky.app/profile/altm... 1/6

He gave his own kids the measles vaccine. He knows he’s lying. 2 American have died so far this year from measles infection, which hasn’t happened in an entire year in over 30 years. And there have never been any deaths shown to be related to the MMR vaccine when administered properly.

#medsky #idsky #pedsky 🧪 Our dear HHS Secretary has recently gone to claim that measles infection confers lifelong immunity whereas measles vaccination does not, among a number of other misleading or blatantly false things about measles. Let's look at the evidence 🧵

Reposting this really helpful thread for new people joining BlueSky. bsky.app/profile/tris... Please note esp tip 3: "BE A PERSON. Put up a photo. Put something in your bio. Make the place look friendly. Give people a reason to follow you back". Also post/engage. Then we know you're not a bot! 🤖

DON’T say recession ever Say Trumpcession. Every single time. Pass it on.

For the "measles party" people. Both commercially available MMR vaccines are LIVE VIRUS vaccines. It's like having a measles party in a vial but a lot safer. So let's party. Alt: a vial of Priorix (MMR vaccine) lit up with a strobe. Shots by LMFAO playing in background.

We know that food isn’t the solution to wellbeing for healthcare workers. But we also know that feeding groups of people creates community and builds a culture of wellbeing. I was so happy to collaborate with our physician wellbeing office today to feed 70+ people! #PedsICU #MedSky #Wellbeing

Now to research how to get more people immunized! Oh wait ... 🪦

Well folks, I started a THIRD Healthcare Pack. In addition to traditional professions, I’m adding administrators, HR, Medtech, software for Healthcare, Dental hygienists, etc Please put something in your bio and FOLLOW me. I will catch it and add you to this group. REPOST go.bsky.app/QQi8C4x

The general trend is crazy. Here is Twitter vs Bluesky volumes for the last week. On some days they are equal in volume.

For a long time, the skill that people would associate most directly with intelligence was memorizing huge amounts of text. Then it shifted to performing mental calculations. Then to understanding complex systems. IMO we are seeing another shift to "filtering bullshit out of a huge pile of info"

The bottom line is this: You can generally speak as an individual faculty member- we have academic freedom Follow your institution's policy But please speak out when compelled If we are all silent, we all lose OR Silence will save no one fin/

I've been noodling a lot lately on academic freedom and the ability of faculty members to speak as individual faculty members I get the impression that many are self-muzzling due for self-preservation purposes This is a quick 🧵 on speaking out as an academic faculty member 1/
