Our Podcast on Medical Aid in Dying (MAID)

HB140, End of Life Options, just passed in the #Delaware House and now has to go before the Senate and get the Governor's signature.

Rather than changing minds, Dr Varipapa switches the conversation to the important ethical concept of patient autonomy and choice as well as the primary concepts of MAID. Dr Vest provides a counterpoint to MAID.

Those who oppose MAID have concerns about the ‘slippery slope’, something which has not been demonstrated in Oregon or the other 10 states that permit MAID.

#Keynsian theory formed the underpinnings of #Reagan's obscene #TrickleDown theory in which the rich would reinvest money saved in taxes to drive growth.

#US has the rich getting richer while infrastructure like bridges and airports crumble, and services like #heathCare are only for those who can afford to pay.

Since the #election, we heard from a friend in #UK. She sent an excellent recommendation:

"I thought you'd be interested in the story of the founding father of one of our great British institutions (aside from the BBC) -

The worse offenders were Alberta and Nova Scotia

Per capita, Canada's transfers for health

grew six times faster than population growth,

amounting to $1,115 per person in 2023, up from $427 per person in 2005.,

while spending in Nova Scotia and Alberta

grew less than two times as fast

as the population.

What does Donald Trump think about abortion?

Whatever gets him the most votes.

He once claimed he's pro-choice, but he's also bragged about killing Roe. He's also said women who get an abortion belong in prison.

Second Nexus · Trump Clarifies 'Law Of The State' Abortion Position: VIDEOBy Amelia Mavis Christnot

There are too many crazy rich people Robert Bigelow just gave #Trump a million dollars for legal fees. Dude owns budget suites #hotels and an aerospace company is big into UFOs has way too much cash to spend on crazy shit pays a lower tax rate than public school teaches
#eattherich or at least tax the hell out of them again
Let’s not have #yachts how about #heathcare 🤔

One of the things that makes the least sense to me in this day and age and in the Western world is that healthcare workers don't wear masks. And I don't mean because of Covid. Just that they don't wear masks as a part of their work equipment/clothing.

“Last summer, as women and medical providers began to navigate a landscape without legal protection for abortion, Nancy Davis’ doctors advised her to terminate her pregnancy. The fetus she was carrying had no skull and was expected to die soon after birth.

But doctors in Louisiana, where Davis lived, would not provide the abortion due to a new law banning it throughout pregnancy in most cases.”

My area is saturated 24/7 w noise of racing motorcycles, cars modified to be noisier - local, state gov't will do nothing. Can #noisecameras #reduce ‘potentially fatal’ #soundpollution? Every1 knows NYC is loud & politicians have waged long losing war against noise. Now they have new weapon: noise cameras. Cameras which are paired with a #soundmeter to detect noise of at least 85 #decibels from source 50ft. #heathcare #pedestrians #environment #airpollution #streetracing theguardian.com/us-news/2023/o
