Kristi Key+FollowMedicare Wait Hurts Alzheimer’s FamiliesImagine getting diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s and then being told you have to wait over two years for Medicare to kick in. That’s the reality for thousands of families, and it’s draining their savings just to afford care and new treatments. With drug prices sky-high and support hard to get, caregivers are calling on Congress to end the 29-month wait. Missing out on early treatment means losing precious time with loved ones. How is this still a thing? #AlzheimersAwareness #Medicare #HealthcareReform #Health #BodyHealth73Share
Terry Brown+FollowNHS Outpatient Shake-Up Incoming?Big news: NHS bosses are calling for a total overhaul of outpatient appointments! With millions stuck on waiting lists (most just for a check-up), leaders say it’s time to ditch the old system and bring care closer to home or even online. The goal? Fewer hoops for patients, faster appointments, and a real focus on quality, not just safety. Could this finally clear the NHS backlog? #NHS #HealthcareReform #OutpatientCare #Health #BodyHealth00Share
herreradennis+FollowWhy Are Mental Health Patients Stuck in EDs?Mental health care in Australia is seriously broken—people in crisis are waiting days in emergency departments just to get help. Hospitals are overwhelmed, but community services are barely funded and often just check if you took your meds. There are proven solutions like safe havens, home support teams, and 24/7 mental health clinics, but they’re not being used enough. Imagine if we actually funded these alternatives—fewer hospital waits, more real support, and way better outcomes. Something’s gotta change! #MentalHealthCrisis #HealthcareReform #EDWaitTimes #Health52Share
herreradennis+FollowADHD Care Just Got a Major UpgradeBig news: GPs in NSW can now start and manage ADHD meds for kids and adults after extra training—no more endless waits for specialists! This means faster, more personal care from the doctors who actually know you and your family. It’s not about replacing specialists, but finally closing the gap so people don’t fall through the cracks. For so many families (and GPs!), this is the change we’ve been waiting for. About time, right? #ADHD #HealthcareReform #GPs #Health765Share
Ashley Johnson+FollowCMMI’s Big Health Care Shake-UpCMMI is making some bold moves to fix our health care mess! They’re rolling out a 3-part plan: 1) focus on preventing disease (not just treating it), 2) give patients more power and info, and 3) make health care more competitive and less confusing. With costs out of control and more people living with chronic illness, this could be the shake-up we need. Fingers crossed it actually makes a difference! #HealthcareReform #Medicare #Medicaid #HealthInnovation #PatientPower #Health00Share

Dana David+FollowDid You Know About 'Facility Fees'?Just found out you can get hit with a 'facility fee'—even for a quick clinic visit or a telehealth call! My friend's kid had a 15-min checkup, and the bill included a $423 'outpatient hospital services' charge just because the clinic is hospital-affiliated. No extra care, just a sneaky fee. Turns out, hospitals can tack these on at clinics they own, and you might not even notice unless you read the fine print. Wild, right? There’s a push to ban this in Minnesota—about time! #HealthcareCosts #FacilityFee #MedicalBills #Minnesota #HealthCareReform #Health00Share
Rebecca Cowan+FollowJordan’s Health System Needs a MakeoverDid you know nearly 1 in 4 dinars spent on health in Jordan comes straight from people’s pockets? That’s a huge strain on families, especially the most vulnerable. Nisreen Qatamish from the King Hussein Cancer Foundation says it’s time to ditch the old, patchwork funding and move to a social health insurance model that actually protects everyone—before a crisis hits. Cancer care is leading the way with a new insurance program, but the whole system needs this kind of upgrade! #HealthcareReform #Jordan #HealthEquity #SocialInsurance #CancerCare #Health00Share
jporter+FollowWhy Isn’t Healthcare Free Yet?Can you believe the US spends double on healthcare compared to other countries, but still ranks 37th in quality? Over 40 million people here have no insurance, and thousands die each year because of it. There’s a push for a Medicare for All plan—no more for-profit insurance, just one card for all your medical needs, no copays, no deductibles. Imagine healthcare that’s simple, fair, and actually covers everyone. Why are we still waiting? #MedicareForAll #HealthcareReform #UniversalHealthcare #HealthJustice #Health36174Share
