Puerto Rico once embraced socialized medicine. Then U.S. regulations and shifting leadership pushed the archipelago into private health care. Now, a two-party alliance is trying to win election in November with a new single-payer proposal. harvardpublichealth.org/poli…

Universal health care may drive the vote in #PuertoRico: U.S. regulations once undid Puerto Rico's first pass at universal care. A new political alliance gives it another chance via @harvard @PublicHealthMag harvardpublichealth.org/poli…

My insurer @AetnaHelp sent my authorization for needed sinus surgery to a reviewer whose Linked In described her specialty as "asian eyelid surgery" and a certified life coach. Denied. After much fighting, reversed, with apologies, when my husband's HR department got involved.

America's share of the world's market capitalization has grown steadily since 2010.
It is now higher than it was under any former president since Ronald Reagan.
So much for the claim that "America is in decline".

Texas officials acknowledged some errors after they stripped Medicaid coverage from more than 2 million people, most of them children. A @ProPublica and @TexasTribune review of records shows that these mistakes and others were preventable. harvardpublichealth.org/poli…
“I’m an emergency department doc at the end of the day, and I’m sorta wired to run into burning buildings with my cape on. But that approach isn’t sustainable for a health care system—nor for society." @AlisterFMartin on why @Vot_ER_org matters. harvardpublichealth.org/poli…

Another sign that health insurance companies don't actually care about your health.
It’s really fun when you have a family practice doctor you’ve seen for 20 years, who delivered you children and is their pediatrician … and now @UHC is dropping him from being an in-network provider. My only option is to find a new doctor for me and my kids. This is ridiculous.
