Please make insurance cover IVF for those with infertility issues. It’s an actual medical problem…. They cover sterilizing people, but zero help for those wanting kids despite paying tons of money a month for health insurance. If you want people to have babies then help us have them… I’m not paying 30k CASH before anything can be started to get IVF. Sometimes it doesn’t work the first or second time… I’ve seen people pay up to $160k! Even if I have the money I’m not willing to gamble with that much… economy isn’t what it was before a lot thanks to democrats/biden. Help us wanting kids have them please 🙏🙏 @elonmusk @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @RobertKennedyJr @MELANIATRUMP @FLOTUS
“The Trump administration has been mulling ways to get more Americans married and having kids — including a $5,000 ‘baby bonus’ for every new mom after delivery, according to a report.
White House officials have recently been brainstorming plans to tackle the declining birth and marriage rates — and push more Americans toward the traditional family values of Trump and his allies.
The sources noted that fertility issues will likely become a prominent piece of the agenda in order to achieve the ‘baby boom’ that Trump is seeking.”

"Leaky" vaccines will take us down 1 of 2 paths.
1 Mareks disease. Once a common ailment (usually non lethal) among chickens, vaccines have made it lethal. Unvaxd bird can't survive Mareks today
2 ADE. If this happens, being vaxd becomes a liability. New strain hits vaxd harder

"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane...
I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.
That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.
When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."

Can we please outlaw prior authorizations? Everyday I get a notice from the pharmacy requiring me to justify why I want to use a medication… and it’s for things like doxycycline. Why does a nameless third party who has never seen or examined the patient have any say in what treatment my patients receive? They also have no accountability if their decision results in patient harm. @HHSGov

I’m so excited to share this update on @Conception –
We’ve generated the first early human eggs derived from stem cells.
This is a big deal -- the potential to redefine fertility is real.
Most doctors should be ashamed of themselves. Since AI has been out I’ve lost more and more respect for them. So many misdiagnosis for so many years. Where’s your pride in what you do? Most are a bunch of losers hiding behind their medical degree they just got for the title/money

With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.
“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”
So annoying when businesses use AI for descriptions. Like 500 unnecessary words to read just to explain like five points. Just get to the point already… what’s in the damn bundle?? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Austin… stop with the shared bathrooms… so stupid and so over it. I don’t want to share a bathroom mirror with a strange man. I’d like to touch up make up in private an have privacy in general. Seriously… so beyond stupid. I avoid restaurants that do this.

Hospitals kill between 250,000 and 400,000 Americans per year through preventable medical errors. That makes “your doctor’s mistake” the third leading cause of death in the United States, behind only cancer and heart disease.
Everyone reads advice like “stay with your loved one in the hospital” as a family values tip. The actual reason is darker. A board-certified physician is publicly admitting the system he operates in has enough failure points that an untrained person sitting in a chair provides a meaningful safety layer.
The math explains why. A landmark Penn study tracked 170,000+ surgeries across 168 hospitals. Each additional patient added to a nurse’s workload raised the odds of dying within 30 days by 7%. Staffing ratios across US hospitals range from 4.3 to 10.5 patients per nurse. That means one hospital gives your family member 2.4x less nursing attention than the hospital down the street, and you have zero way of knowing which one you walked into.
So what does a family member in the room actually do? They catch the wrong medication bag. They notice breathing changes at 2am when the nurse is covering nine other beds. They flag a deteriorating condition 6 hours before anyone on staff would have checked. They function as an unpaid, around-the-clock monitor compensating for a staffing model designed around reimbursement rates, not patient survival.
When a physician says “be cordial with staff but watch everything like a hawk,” he’s describing a system where the margin between good outcome and catastrophe is one missed check during a shift change. Hospitals don’t optimize for your family member’s recovery. They optimize for throughput.
700 people die from preventable hospital errors every single day. Your presence in that room isn’t emotional support. It’s a rounding error in a broken staffing equation that nobody has the budget to fix.

if you're diagnosed with depression before checking:
- mold toxicity
- vitamin d levels
- sleep hygiene
- breathing patterns
- gut health
- exercise routine
- thyroid health
you don't have a doctor...you have a drug dealer
So true… hopefully I’m loved enough by someone for someone to do this for me… they don’t listen or care. Trust me… I’ve literally said hey I can’t have this drug and they try to inject me with it anyway but I stopped them bc I could speak for myself. Had I not, I’d be screwed.

Never leave your loved one alone in the hospital. Every hour you are allowed to be there, if you are able to, I highly recommend being there.
Be perfectly cordial with staff. But watch over everything like a hawk.
Trust me on this.
Poor baby tried for two days to make it… she had such a strong will to live. @USPS is cruel. First time I ordered and it was the most painful experience ever. @HooversHatchery both need to do better. These are lives you’re dealing with that have feelings/full of personality…
@BloomsyBox worst ever. Vday flowers supposed to be delivered today & @UPS said delayed til Monday… said sender didn’t pay for overnight. They did ups ground up to 8 day delivery when order was placed 2/1 for delivery of today… thanks @AmericanExpress for the bad rec/referral
*sender as in @BloomsyBox … they are supposed to over night them and instead sent it with ups ground 8 day delivery. They refused to make it right today. Wouldn’t even refund and just said wait until Monday/call again then. Unreliable. @AmericanExpress do better also please.
I remember the days when I’d spend $200 on a pair of shoes and they’d last me years and were high quality leather. Now they have vegan leather which is great to not kill animals, but what’s up with the price being the same… it’s not going to last/smells & feels low quality…
Due to all of the gender confused crap, a lot of clothing categories are being categorized as gender neutral. So when searching for girl stuff on shopping sites like Amazon/Nordstrom you have to go through a bunch of boy stuff despite narrowing the search to girls only. Annoying!
