If you needed long-term care, could you afford it?

For many Americans, especially those with a middle-class income and little savings, the answer to that question is absolutely not.

Washington state has done the most so far to make it accessible, but this November, state residents will vote on whether to make paying the program tax voluntary – which would essentially kill the statewide insurance program.

Do you know what killed more than 19,000 Americans in the last 3 months? Covid. About 9 an hour. Many many more than that have been hurt, often permanently.

That’s a lower number than previously, yet the risks remain.

Stay home when ill, wear masks in crowds and inside, stay up to date on your vaccinations and improve ventilation (ex: opening windows) to stay healthier.

another one from The Hill, this one about RFK Jr now being demonized by Republicans as a threat to Trump.

can we agree he isn't so much a political threat but a cypher for the mental of USA's political class and the citizens who parasocially elect them?

Buy Oxycodone Online Price & Discounts - Pharmacy CVS (pharmacycvs.com)

Ordering Oxycodone online can seem like a convenient option for those in need of pain relief, but it is important to approach this decision with caution. Immediate attention should be given to ensure that the source of the medication is legitimate and safe. There are many online pharmacies that sell counterfeit or expired...

Bonjour les Mastonautes. Premiers 5k depuis la Guadeloupe. Séance de décrassage, je visais une allure de 8:30/km « aux sensations ». Allure à peu près respectée mais trop gros cardio derrière. J’ai l’impression de devoir tout reconstruire à zéro, mais je vais le faire ☺️

Route rurale bordée de verdure dense sous un ciel couvert, avec un texte superposé détaillant une course de 5 km et sa durée.

Another day, another part of the NHS beset by crisis & workforce problems (here the toxic combination of de-funding & de-skilling) as cash-strapped GP practices cannot afford locus GPs & are shifting to 'associate' positions... if you think this looks like the Teaching Assistant move in schools you'd not be wrong.

Its just another aspect of the Tories attack on professions via budget cuts & 'facilitating' their work to be done by the un(der) trained.

Privacy is dead, and all of your data, including medical information, is constantly being sold to the highest bidder. This is a terrible situation, and there should be strict regulations for those who are breaking the law. Source https://www.threads.net/@thebrianpenny/post/C6y2ckfxaDj/

@nixCraft Its not just online therapy either. Everything you say to inperson therapists too never stays with them. I promise you that

Everything is about money in the end. Its all one big circle of bullshit. People shouldn't be surprised when people dont trust therapy, and its disgusting to accuse someone of not wanting help because they refuse to go to therapy

Nah fam, it doesn't work and nothing is ever truly private, so I do not feel safe. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
