💡New @jama.com study coauthored by Ben Sommers finds #EmergencyMedicaid to be a very small part of total spending, with state costs primarily driven by demographics—not policies. Cuts to Emergency Medicaid in new budget law will produce minimal savings and put immigrant-serving providers at risk.

Thrilled to celebrate brilliant mentee @trishasantos.bsky.social for receiving the Emerging Generation Award from the @the-asci.bsky.social ! 🎉 Her research is vital for shaping healthcare policy that promotes health equity and access to care for uninsured immigrants!Congrats!😍 tinyurl.com/24ckv7eu

Now in @nejm.org with the brilliant @trishasantos.bsky.social and @cervantes-lily1.bsky.social: We argue that a new Texas policy requiring clinicians to inquire about patients' citizenship status is harmful to everyone's health and safety. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Excited to share our perspective in @nejm.org led by @trishasantos.bsky.social & @fabioethics.bsky.social Texas GA-46 threatens confidentiality and trust between clinicians and immigrants. We must advocate to protect privacy and ensure hospitals remain safe spaces.

🚨New in @nejm.org In this Perspective, we critically examine Texas Executive Order GA-46—a harmful new rule that requires hospitals that receive Medicaid/Medicare funding to ask patients about their citizenship status at the time of intake: tinyurl.com/38fy6dys

In honor of my dad, 2️⃣ time cancer survivor, I donated today to #HCWvsHunger's onc team #DiagnoseAndTreats. The last time I bought tix to visit for the holidays, my dad ended up in the hospital in another state. @hcwvshunger.bsky.social How it started (5 yrs ago). How it's going (today).

Lily is my absolute hero: a generous, brilliant, passionate scholar and advocate for immigrant health justice 💕
