New: Based on a recent @KFF survey of states, we estimate 17 million people could lose Medicaid coverage as the COVID continuous enrollment provision unwinds. But, there's a lot of uncertainty, with a wide range of possible results across states. kff.org/medicaid/issue…

7 years ago, a medical society told me their conference was not intended for a patient audience. Last fall I was an invited presenter. This is proof that medical culture can change & it works best when patients, care partners, clinicians, and researchers are working together.🤘

⁦⁦⁦⁦@SFdirewolf⁩’s piece is so powerful, but this quote gutted me more than anything: “Now more than ever I am acutely aware of how vital community care is because the state will not save us—it was never designed to in the first place.” teenvogue.com/story/alice-wo…
