There's a lot of confusion around what the FDA's "Emergency Use Authorization" for HCQ actually did and what rescinding it means. The EUA was never meant to expand the use of HCQ and it only applied to the supply donated to the National Strategic Stockpile (NSS). (thread)

In fact, the EUA was put in place to improperly restrict use of the donated drugs to only hospitalized patients. The now infamous "whistle-blower" Rick Bright, PhD, admits that he pushed for the EUA to impede use (not expand it).

The Trump Administration wanted to make the donated HCQ available for early treatment outside of hospital settings, but Rick Bright pushed for an EUA to restrict use to hospitals where it is often too late for the treatment to be beneficial.

Dear @olgakhazan, You write: "the AAPS doesn’t seem to offer a solution for the fact that these days, a single 'How can we help you?' from a doctor can result in a five-figure bill." (thread) 1/12

You're right. We don't offer "a solution." We advocate for *many* solutions — solutions that are already successfully driving down the cost of high-quality medical care in the real world. 2/12

One solution is Direct Primary Care. DPC offers patients nearly unlimited access to primary care, from a physician, for a monthly fee that is most often in the mid two digits. See for instance: greenhillsdirectfamilycare.com/pricing-fees/ 3/12
