I know this story. My dad had a quadruple bypass 14 years ago, in Canada. The bill was around $100 (Canadian). For the parking. For all its shortcomings and need for reform, public healthcare saves lives and keeps ordinary people out of crushing debt.

Right now, I’m sitting in a hospital room with my dad, who had open heart surgery yesterday to repair a valve. His doctor walked in and said his insurance company tried to deny his care yesterday, she told them it was too late, he was already in surgery. 🧵1/12

Six years ago today, Saudi journalist and @washingtonpost columnist #JamalKhashoggi was murdered inside the country’s consulate in Istanbul. There is still no accountability. We will not forget Jamal Khashoggi. #EndImpunity

Proud of this story we've published today. A lot of the reporting on women's access to work ignores the cost to health, and @MariejoSRamos was able to highlight it. This is part of a @ContextNewsroom series on women's economic empowerment (or lack thereof) around the world 🧵

"CPJ is dismayed by the news that Al Jazeera TV reporter Ismail Al Ghoul and cameraman Ramy Al Refee were killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza. Journalists are civilians and should never be targeted. Israel must explain why two more Al Jazeera journalists have been killed in what appears to be a direct strike," says CPJ CEO @jodieginsberg.
