“Why did the CDC hand a groundbreaking harm-reduction program over to a new firm with “zero experience” in public health?” This is infuriating, heartbreaking, and upsetting. And people will die. theintercept.com/2023/12/16/cdc…

“Hepatitis C infections are worsening,” said @adrienne_rx, director of programs at the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable. Cases of the disease surged between 2013 to 2019, increasing by 15%, according to the CDC. “We are probably just seeing the tip of the iceberg.”

The driving factor in the rise homelessness in California is--surprise surprise--the exorbitant price of housing in the state & economic instability. Mental health & substance use issues are more likely to be caused by homelessness than they are to be the driver of homelessness.

Pay pharmacists (and NPs, PAs, and community health workers). It’s called HEALTH care, not physician care. If you agree, ask your member of Congress to support HR 1770: actioncenter.pharmacist.com/campaign/equit… @pharmacists

Republicans want to institute work requirements for Medicaid — and they’re willing to hold the economy hostage to do it. The policy would be life-threatening for millions of Americans. We know because Arkansas tried it. “I would be dead,” one Medicaid recipient told us.

The MAT act should increase buprenorphine prescribing, but that won't result in greater access unless we address pharmacy-level barriers. @JAPhAJournal @realDrThornton @Texan_Gentleman #TwitteRx pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37088366/

In the last six years, 36 states have loosened sobriety restrictions on #hepatitisC treatment access. This is the progress we can make when we work together to #EndStigma 🔥⬇️

When we started working on the #HepatitisC: State of Medicaid Access project, every state required prior authorization for HCV treatment. Now, we're getting real close to a 50/50 split across jurisdictions! ❤️ Like to add +1 momentum 🔁 RT to eliminate prior auth nationwide

Buprenorphine is a gold standard tx for opioid addiction. Very few Black people who need it receive it though. Wrote this to bring attention to issue ⁦@BostonGlobe⁩ ⁦@the_emancipator⁩ ⁦@AcademyHealth⁩ ⁦@TheOpEdProject⁩ #publicvoices bostonglobe.com/2023/03/02/opi…
