It would make sense for insurers to pay for cardiology related devices that help with prevention. “Digital health has evolved rapidly, but medical insurance hasn’t kept up. In the US, most medical insurers require treatments to take place within designated medical spaces such as hospitals or surgeries. However, digital health blurs the geographical lines, and patients may find that their insurance won’t reimburse the costs of remote care.”
The biggest difference was reaching more people via social media algorithm manipulation, if I was guessing I’d guess by billionaires that don’t want to pay taxes and foreign parties impacted by the outcome of our elections. More than 80% of Americans get at least some part of their information online. 
“Unfortunately the media barely covered the significant accomplishments of the Biden Administration and long term investment in our infrastructure and economy. Like those of the New Deal, some will be noticed later. No doubt
Trump will take credit for these just as Republicans in Congress did for improvement programs they voted against. Hypocrisy.” 
“Not Medically Necessary”: Inside the Company Helping America’s Biggest Health Insurers Deny Coverage for Care. Insurance companies often outsource medical reviews to a largely hidden industry that makes money by turning down doctors’ requests for payments, known as prior authorizations. Call it the denials for dollars business.
Interesting to see how this can be applied to cardiology in the future.
“Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a wearable ultrasound tech device that can provide long-term, wireless monitoring of muscle activity with potential applications in healthcare and human-machine interfaces. Designed to stick to the skin with a layer of adhesive and powered by a battery, the wearable ultrasound tech device enables high-resolution tracking of muscle function without invasive procedures.”

And left leaning influencers have their accounts suppressed for posting politics, at least I have had that experience on Instagram and Tiktok
processed food, mono crop agriculture and the pharmaceutical industry - these are topics doctors have spoken about too, I haven’t seen evidence that RFK Jr has the medical or health policy knowledge to run federal agencies, which would make sense since he is a climate change lawyer
Total net greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union dropped by 8% last year, new figures reveal, meaning that greenhouse gas pollution in the 27-country bloc is now 37% below 1990 levels. It was despite GDP growing by 68% over the same period.

Trump rolled back climate change mitigation efforts during his first term and he has said he will roll them back further during this term. Given all the extreme weather we’re already having like Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton this is concerning. Besides states filing lawsuits against the federal government around public safety and the increased costs that Trump’s climate change policies have cost states already from his first term because of all the damage (its obviously is also increasing the cost of home insurance for many Americans too) I’m not sure what the solutions would be.
'Kids died.' The story of RFK Jr., anti-vaxxers, and a measles outbreak. Don’t call RFK Jr. a “political maverick” or “vaccine skeptic.” As Mehdi notes, his anti-vaccine effort has real-life consequences. For proof, just look at the 2019 measles outbreak in Samoa, where dozens of children died thanks to a steep drop in vaccinations. Mehdi’s deep dive looks at the deadly cost of the anti-vaccine movement Kennedy has boosted.
We will have to see what RFK Jr actually does to public health agencies. I have watched his interviews and looked at the medical studies on his website before and they don’t support anything he says, so he seems to make up things to go viral. Certainly he has the potential to make all of our lives more dangerous but that would also to lead to a lot of lawsuits against him and he’s a lawyer so I don’t know that he’ll actually do things except say medical misinformation things that go viral, he seems to really enjoy that
New York Democrats redeem themselves after crushing losses of 2022. NY Democrats defended all their House seats and gained seats from the GOP. 🇺🇸

Coloradans voted to enshrine the right to abortion in the State Constitution and secure abortion coverage in state health insurance plans.
Voters in Montana approved a ballot amendment that enshrines a right to abortion in the State Constitution. Montana was one of 10 states with similar measures on the ballot this year.
“We did it! Arizona has overwhelmingly voted to protect abortion access! We proved, yet again, that Arizona is a state that values freedom and individual rights. Thank you to the thousands of voters, volunteers, and donors— this victory belongs to you.”
I’m very obviously referencing Trump as a fascist not the people who voted for him because Trump took the actions of a fascist when he was in office
And obviously less white men were expected to vote for Kamala versus Biden
Six states expand abortion protections (Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, New York, Missouri, Nevada) as Florida ballot fails reaching only 58% of the needed 60% to win 🇺🇸
Disappointed about the election results, I hope the country is able to recover after Trump leaves office in 2028 from the long term effects of another 4 years of fascism, divisiveness, and chaos 🇺🇸
So far it seems like less women, Blacks, Latinos, and young people expected voters voted for Kamala this election versus voted for Biden in 2020 because they’re unhappy about the economy and they want to see a change 🔄
