Check out the video of MBS and Putin laughing and shaking hands at G20. It's kind of chilling.

Spectrum Health Center (a huge hospital in MI bankrolled by the DeVoses) actually sent out letters to patients recommending GoFundMe as a way to cover their needed care. To hell with alllll of that

To hell with alllll of that My gosh. Being in many conversations about patient financial accommodations for my work, I can’t even imagine this being floated as a suggestion let alone making it to actual patient communications. My organization has many affordability challenges but we are trying to make it easier and more transparent for patients with our policies.

Man, the freshman Reps-Elect are crushing this presser I am loving the way they are twitter and ig too. Like doing short videos to talk about orientation and what they are learning and seeing. I’m sure they won’t be able to sustain this level of transparency but I hope they give it a go because it’s awesome to see technology leveraged this way.

I'm listening to xmas music and trying to stay away from news. I figure I'll get the WaPo alert if the indictments come rolling today right? I HAVE to work (at least til noon when I go home) I saw the gofundme thing last week and it makes me so angry especially with having a parent who is really medically complex and just got out of a weeks stay at the local hospital and will have to have ANOTHER surgery in the near future (which makes about the 15th since '14)and has over a million dollars in claims since there.

If you want to get more young people involved, communicating on the platforms they use is a great way to start. I hope they keep it up, as much as they can/are allowed to.

I wouldn't expect indictments today, especially not this early. Maybe at 4:00.

From what I recall, a patient was denied a transplant because she didn't have reliable funding for aftercare medication - and they suggested GFM to raise money for medicine.
It's a shit show.

Facebook just reminded me that one year ago right now I was on the Hill fighting like hell against the tax scam.
That feels like 200 years ago.

To hell with alllll of that That whole thing was awful. The poor woman needs a heart transplant. The excuse given was that they didn't want to undertake a patient for whom the necessary after care was cost prohibitive and thus jeopardizing the success of the transplant. Maybe understandable, but ffs, you find a way and work with the patient. She got remarkably lucky. She received donations in excess of what she needed and is able to go forward. I cannot even imagine the undo stress inflicted on her. And Spectrum just purchased/ merged with my local area hospital system. I am not thrilled.
