The massive changes in US research brought about by the new administration of #Trump are causing many scientists in the country to rethink their lives and careers. More than 1,200 #scientists who responded to a Nature poll — three-quarters of the total respondents — are considering leaving the United States following the disruptions prompted by Trump. #Europe and #Canada were among the top choices for relocation. #research #healthcare #medicine #vaccines #publichealth https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00938-y

No, the United States of America is not number one in healthcare, and we have the numbers to prove it.

"Drugmakers made a calculated risk during HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation process in choosing not to publicly criticize a nominee who called their products dangerous.

They’re starting to reconsider.

After the firing of thousands of Department of Health and Human Services employees on Tuesday, industry trade groups that have mostly sought to curry favor with the new administration began to express alarm."

It's easy to blame #bureaucrats but is that where the problem lies?

Quote by SCN:
"Mar 31, 2025
Jordan Chariton reports on a new ballot measure proposal filed for the state of California inspired by Luigi Mangione, the alleged shooter of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, that would bar health insurance companies from delaying, denying, or modifying health claims deemed necessary by a doctor. The ballot measure proposal, titled the "Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act,” would bar insurance companies from denying or modifying any medical procedure or medication recommended by a doctor for which denial or delay could result in death, disability, amputation, permanent disfigurement or loss or reduction of any bodily function."

Happy ‘Liberation Day’

"The Trump administration and its health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are promising transformative change in health care policy this year, including a major shift in emphasis from infectious diseases to chronic ones. At the same time, health agencies are in unprecedented upheaval and Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency initiative are examining health spending in a search for savings in HHS’ nearly $2 trillion budget.
