"Measles have surged to a record high, with more cases reported this year than any year since the disease was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000.

This disappointing record comes amid falling childhood vaccination rates: Coverage against measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, polio and pertussis is declining in more than 30 states, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

"As the Trump administration continues its push to deport undocumented immigrants, doctors are hearing that some patients are avoiding getting the health care they need over fears that Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids could take place in medical settings."

With five week's warning, the Australian Medicare arrangements for chronic disease management are being basically upended.

It's important to remember that the primary function of the CDM program is to encourage primary care general practitioners and general practices to direct bill (bulk-bill) Medicare rather than charging patients who could then claim a rebate. It was introduced as direct-billing rates started to slide in the 90s and successfully arrested it. My personal view is they are rarely clinically useful and largely perceived by patients as "a letter for free podiatry".

The changes - of course - come with a funding cut, somewhere between 10 and 50% depending on how you work it out.

Medical and health research is vital to medicine and public health. There are already real world impacts felt around the country and around the world. People are dying, medical breakthroughs being delayed or prevented, and we are dismantling protections against #environmentalhazards. To put it in terms of money: health research grant money has a tangible #roi. It is not a money sink: we get more than we put in.

Access to healthcare is also being threatened with cuts to Medicaid which would prevent many who currently qualify from qualifying in the future. This means more #humans being kept from health insurance. A trip to the doctor is no longer a question of time or coinsurance but instead a decision between #life with crippling #debt or #death. #republicans are pushing for these cuts so their rich buddies pay even less in taxes and we can spend more the military. They are responsible for when you or your loved ones are faced with the decision between debt and death.
