Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied, effective tools we have to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases. Decisions about how and when vaccines are used should be driven by rigorous scientific evidence, patient safety, and independent medical and public health expertise. Altering a proven vaccination schedule without credible evidence risks weakening public confidence and putting children’s health at risk. If you have questions about vaccines, talk to your child’s physician. Putting our children’s health at risk is not an option Read our full statement: spr.ly/6011B1KUUS

Powerful moment for our state! HOT 97’s own Miabelle led hundreds in a march to fight for New York’s healthcare at the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic & Asian Legislative Caucus Conference on 2.14 in Albany! Joined by DJ Spazo and WBLS’ Dr. Bob Lee, they stood in solidarity with Healthcare Education Project and 1199SEIU to support and protect our community hospitals. They showed up. They spoke out. They made their voices heard. @HealthcareProj @1199SEIU

My op-ed is out today on @MSNOWNews Daily about the U.S. health care cliff: "I’m an ER doctor. I know what the end of ACA subsidies will mean." Doctor vs groceries is not a real choice. When people delay care, they hit the ER later and sicker. ms.now/opinion/aca-subsidies…

In Lefrak City yesterday, we stood with members of @1199SEIU and the Healthcare Education Project to make one thing unmistakably clear: Queens will not sit quietly while Washington rips healthcare away from our families. The ā€œOne Bigā€ bill is the largest healthcare cut in American history and its impact will hit immigrant, working-class, and multigenerational neighborhoods like ours first and worst. We’re talking about 1.5 million New Yorkers losing coverage. We’re talking about half a million lawful permanent residents losing the Essential Plan. We’re talking about rising premiums that force families to choose between medicine and rent. But here in Queens, we take care of each other. We organize. We fight back. And we defend healthcare as the human right it is. Thank you to 1199, HEP, and every advocate, parent, elder, neighbor, and healthcare worker who raised their voice. This is only the beginning and we’re in it together. šŸ’›šŸ’ŖšŸ½

Right now, thousands of families are having difficult conversations about the massive premium increases set to arrive starting Nov. 1 if Congress does not extend the health care tax credit. Enrollees in Idaho, Virginia, Nevada and elsewhere have already seen the extreme spike.

Limited health literacy and limited literacy are not the same, but they are related. In a 2006 study, the US Department of Education found that adults who self-report the worst health also have the most limited literacy, numeracy, and health literacy skills. #HealthLiteracyMonth
