Would you trust your life to an insurance company? #HealthCare #InsuranceFail #CancerAwareness #PatientRights #Safety22Share
jporter+FollowMedicaid Work Rules Could Backfire Big TimeDid you know proposed Medicaid work requirements might actually do more harm than good? A new study says these rules could kick up to 5.2 million adults off health coverage, slash nearly half a million jobs, and suck $59 billion out of state economies in just one year. Instead of helping people find work, it could make things way worse. Experts say investing in job programs works better than tying healthcare to employment. Wild, right? #Medicaid #Healthcare #Policy #Jobs #Economy #Health10173Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowDialysis Care Linked to Insurance Type?Just learned that dialysis centers with more patients on commercial insurance have lower death rates than those with mostly Medicare patients. The catch? A Supreme Court decision could push a lot of folks from private insurance to Medicare, possibly impacting care quality. It’s wild how much the type of insurance can affect your health outcomes—makes you wonder what’ll happen if more people have to switch. Anyone else surprised by this? #Healthcare #Dialysis #InsuranceMatters #SupremeCourt #PatientCare #Health10Share
Andrew Hutchinson+FollowHand Washing: The OG Health HackWho knew something as basic as hand washing could be such a game-changer in healthcare? WHO is reminding everyone that scrubbing up is still the best way to protect both patients and staff from nasty infections. Gloves help, but they’re not a free pass—if you use them wrong, you’re just spreading germs around. And FYI, used gloves are basically biohazard material and need special disposal. Simple, but so easy to forget! #HealthHacks #HandHygiene #Healthcare #WHO #InfectionControl #Health00Share
edwardspeter+FollowNHS Boss Drops a Brutal Truth BombThe new NHS chief just admitted the health service is totally maxed out on cash—and that some pretty shocking care standards have become the norm. Think: elderly patients waiting for hours on trolleys in A&E. He says it’s time for a wake-up call and some real change, not just more money. Even the best hospitals have stuff going on that shouldn’t be. Do you think the NHS can really turn things around? #NHS #Healthcare #UKNews #WakeUpCall #Health1912Share
Rebecca Cowan+FollowVA Staff Exodus? Nurses Sound the AlarmOver 11,000 VA health care workers want out, but hardly any qualify for the sweet separation deals. Nurses are picking up the slack from axed support staff, and they’re worried—less help means less time with patients. The VA’s aiming to slash 15% of its workforce, but says direct care won’t be hit. Nurses say: cutting ‘non-nursing’ roles still puts patients at risk. The vibe? Uncertainty, burnout, and a lot of side-eye at the cuts. #VA #Healthcare #Nurses #WorkforceCuts #Veterans #Health288Share
Beth Burton+FollowMums Demand Answers After Surgeon ScandalTwo mums whose kids were left in pain after surgeries by a now-suspended Cambridge surgeon are pushing for a face-to-face with the Health Secretary. Nearly 700 patient cases are under review after complaints of botched ops and care 'below standard.' Families say they don’t trust the hospital’s investigation and want a totally independent probe. Can you imagine finding out your child’s surgery went wrong years later? This story is wild—and heartbreaking. #NHS #Healthcare #PatientSafety #Cambridge #Parenting #Health662Share
jporter+FollowACA Shakeup: Mental Health at Risk?Big ACA changes could mean millions lose affordable health insurance, especially for mental health and addiction care. If Congress doesn’t renew those premium subsidies, premiums could jump 75%—yikes! One major insurer (Aetna) is already bailing on ACA plans, which could leave even fewer options. People who rely on these plans for therapy or autism care might get hit the hardest. If you or someone you know depends on marketplace coverage, keep an eye on this—big shifts are coming! #HealthCare #MentalHealth #ACA #Insurance #BehavioralHealth #Health20Share
Jeffrey Harvey+FollowWill AI Replace Nursing Jobs?💊👩⚕️I’m about to start school to become a nurse, but I can’t help wondering: will AI take over nursing jobs? I’ve heard this question asked countless times, but it’s still a major concern for me. Nursing involves so much more than just following procedures—it’s about compassion, empathy, and understanding patients’ needs. Can AI truly replicate that? I don’t want to spend time and effort learning a profession that might become obsolete. What are your thoughts? Do you think AI will replace nurses, or will it just change the way we work? #Nursing #AI #FutureOfWork #Healthcare #CompassionInCare #JobSecurity4358Share
Michelle Welch+FollowRA Patients Face Surprising Hospital RisksDid you know people with rheumatoid arthritis are way more likely to end up in the hospital for things like heart failure and pulmonary edema, even years after diagnosis? A big Canadian study found RA patients have a higher risk of avoidable hospitalizations, especially if they’re older or have other health issues. Turns out, having good access to primary care could make a huge difference in keeping these folks out of the ER! #RheumatoidArthritis #HealthNews #Hospitalization #ChronicIllness #Healthcare #Health11Share
