"Medicine hasn’t always been a level playing field—for patients or doctors. For centuries, women faced barriers just for studying, practicing, or researching medicine. Yet a handful of trailblazers broke through discrimination to reshape healthcare, simultaneously forwarding feminism in the United States."

"With Floridians facing higher premiums and dropped coverage for Obamacare plans, due to uncertainty around the Affordable Care Act marketplace, Volk said cost-sharing plans could become more popular — but with consequences.
Research from the Commonwealth Fund shows religious, cost-sharing plans have fewer consumer protections because they are largely unregulated and do not guarantee payment of claims."
Canada's hospital emergency rooms have hit a breaking point. Is it the new normal?
Hospital emergency rooms are overflowing, resulting in patients being treated in storage rooms and hallways as they wait days for a bed. Doctors say it's happening against a backdrop of behind-the-scenes backlogs, access issues and an aging population that are all impacting the flow of patients through the health-care system.

I'm not fat nor obese yet I've started on these last night. I talked to a few doctors, made my case and they approved.
I don't have an image problem, never did, I have an autoimmune condition that improves the lower the % of fat I have, that has always been THE reason I go to the gym.
My meds make it impossible for me to lose weight at my usual pace, and when I do, my autoimmune gets triggered the longest I diet, it hides in the fat.
That's why I was approved.
Stop judging other people by whatever small-minded worldviews you have in your mind, you never lived a day in their shoes.

Line up, kids. I have a nearly full container of 'em.
Canadians know their healthcare isn't 'free'
But they also know what they ought to be getting for their taxes.
Canadians know that public insurance works on exactly the same principle as private insurance,
so they ought to know that privatization is the theft of the premiums they've already paid public insurance

If you had to distill the case against Trump to a single, shareable, text-based graphic, what would you include? How would you frame it?
More specifically, what about the graphic below would you keep or change?
Does it cover too much? Too little?

Ok, I have a question for my uterus-having friends. Maybe any MDs who have some insight. Do you get more depressed on birth control, no matter what kind it is?? I swear, every time a doctor tells me a certain kind won't have that effect on me, they're wrong!

Hey All,
I don't like asking, but need to see some specialists for my condition, and I need to pay for medications, and I could use some help, because US healthcare is atrocious.
If you're able to lend a hand, I means a lot to me.
There's a link on my profile if you'd like to donate something.
Thank you.
