1/I've been sitting on this rage-🧵but it's less than 50d to the election, so...
IF A PERSON WHO WAS PRESIDENT FOR 4 YEARS & TRIED TO REPEAL MY HEALTHCARE SAID HE HAD "CONCEPTS OF A PLAN" FOR ITS REPLACEMENT, I'D BE PISSED.
You should too-it's YOUR healthcare!
Read on. 2/ I know younger folks may not even remember how bad things were before the Affordable Care Act aka Patient-Protection Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare.

#MondayNightIBD Image @MondayNightIBD @DCharabaty @janssen @pfizer @TakedaPharma 3/ 😭 most pts are NOT getting safe 💉 like flu, pneumonia & HepB.

1/ Every year, I give a talk that wipes me out-emotionally & mentally.
But it’s an impt talk to give: about the experience of women in medicine, academics, STEM.
It’s hard because it hits home; & because I answer any question & tell the truth.

1/ I refrained from responding with the level of vitriol I felt last night because I was at a lovely same-sex marriage and wanted to celebrate the beautiful day/night with the wonderful people there.
But not tonight...
Follow the thread for some FACTS.... 2/ Let's start with this excellent article summarizing some FACTS we know.
And as a reminder: FACTS don't give a DAMN if you believe them or not.
And the FACTS tell us that more guns = higher rates of murder and suicide...

1/ LOVE the guys .@tntradioempire: they make poop in a box as funny as dick in a box. Listen live, online, or via your favorite podcast.
Covered a few things, but NE!!! Please take note of thread for info on Medicaid-SPREAD FACTS.
Then: get out & vote FOR 427 Medicaid Expansion 2/ No, no, NO—Milk’s NOT racist! You know what’s racist? NAZIS.
