Representative government is important. Building inclusive participation that includes rural and urban voices, young & old, & membership across diverse groups will be important for redirecting this nation. I'll say again, this was a referendum on leaving rural Americans behind.
This is my favorite election photo. The Navajo nation experienced more COVID19 deaths than any other subgroup of our population. The Trump admin ignored them. They organized to vote early by horseback. Image

We have a pain crisis rolling out across the nation for gravely injured folks with centralized pain due to multiple chronic conditions. While exempted from CDC Guidelines 2016, and in many cases, state regulations due to palliative care, fear of DEA is getting in the way of Rxng.
We're stranding folks without a life raft and causing unnecessary suffering and increased disability. In the last 24 hrs I have fielded 4 calls regarding patient abandonment and suicide from 3 states.
We need an immediate intervention from #CMS and #CDC.

What fuels public policy? Rhetoric.
It sure as hell isn't data - cause there isn't any.
Why isn't there any data on chronic pain issues? Put simply, we've built NO SYSTEM METRICS to collect this important data or to inform the policy making aspects of this system.

I can think of very few reasons to place chronically ill people into electronic handcuffs because of their diagnosis and care needs. Can you?
