Ummm.... @actuallyautistic

Here’s the data the #NIH can collect from your medical history for its ‘#autism database’

Story by Julia Musto, 4/23/2025

Excerpt: "While it remains unclear exactly what data will be collected, under the presented platform NIH researchers could have access to:

- Americans’ #prescription information, including the type of medication and how they are prescribed
- Data collected during medical studies in a multitude of areas and from public and private institutions
- Data collected from peoples’ #smartwatches, which can range from heart health to sleep patterns
- #Claims from private insurers that can cover items such as lengthy hospital stays, #screening and testing
- Data from the Centers for #Medicare and #Medicaid Services, which includes #referrals to specialists, enrollment, #diagnoses, and more "

@KimPerales Ohio has a trigger law in the 2026 budget that would rollback Ohio's Medicaid Expansion automatically if federal funding matching dropped a certain percentage. That would remove coverage for at least 770,000 people in Ohio.

The law specifies that if the federal matching rate (FMAP) for medical assistance provided to Group VIII enrollees is set below 90%, ODM must immediately terminate medical assistance for members of the group.

It passed the House and is moving to the Senate now. Ohio is a trifecta GOP control super-majority state. Both the House and Senate, Governorship and the Supreme Court. #Medicaid #Ohio #ACA #USPol

In Hobbs, #NewMexico, Sherif says about 85% of his patients are on #Medicaid, the federal & state #HealthInsurance program for #LowIncome Americans. His clinic orders about $50,000 worth of #measles, #chickenpox & other #vaccines per month through the program, he says, an amount of #money impossible for his small clinic to afford if not covered by the federal program.

“If I were to buy them by myself, I would not get enough for my patients,” he said.

Well it looks like the cuts to provider payments from New Hampshire Medicaid don’t start until January 1, which is good news.

I imagine they’ll start closing practices immediately after that, but at least we’ll have healthcare providers for the rest of this year.

#Protesters rally in #PortlandME, advocating for protection of rights amid Trump tensions

Story by Allyson Lapierre, WGME

PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Making their voices be heard on a day of #revolution, a rally on Saturday pays tribute to the #250thAnniversary of the 'shot heard around the world,' a day that marks the start of the Revolutionary War.

" 'They’re taking away my Social Security and my #MaineCare away from me...which side are you on?' Olivia McDermott, who has #DownSyndrome, said.

"McDermott came to advocate for herself and others who have #disabilities who depend on #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid.

" 'I get really upset that this is happening to me and other people with #disabilities. They go to school like this, and I don’t want people to feel uncomfortable about it,' McDermott said.

"Olivia's mom, Maura Mcdermott, is a #SpecialEducationTeacher. She's worried the $Trump administration could take away those benefits.

" 'We need to not cut the services. We need to expand #MedicaidForAll people, and we need to #TaxTheRich. Enough of this,' Maura said.

"Other protestors voiced concerns about state politics, specifically about Maine senators.

" '#SusanCollins had better vote 'no, no, no' to the #SAVEAct because those are all voting rights, and we need voting for next election,' Nina McKee, a Scarborough resident, said.

"Despite the anniversary of the #AmericanRevolution, protesters on Saturday said there's little to feel #patriotic about.

" 'I can’t even express the need for us to stand up against what is happening in our country. It is beyond consumption,' McKee said.

" 'There’s no good thing going on right now, so any change is for the better,' Duncan Potter, a Brunswick resident, said."

@SeanCasten and it’s a huge problem for people who are disabled but who haven’t been deemed disabled by Social Security yet. I ran into this issue when I moved back to New Hampshire from California well I was waiting for my disability appeal hearing. At the time New Hampshire was still trying to avoid expanding Medicaid at all, so even though I literally had zero income the state said I wasn’t disabled because I might be able to work if I had spine surgery, but I couldn’t have Medicaid and be evaluated for spine surgery because I’m not disabled because I might be able to work if I had spine surgery.

I had to fight them for 10 months and the only reason I won was because I found a spine surgeon who would see me and bill me later and he determined that I wasn’t actually a candidate for spine surgery. He was able to write me a letter in time for the fair hearing so I won. I also won food stamps. They were really mad about it they had to give me like $3000 worth because they withheld them for 10 months when I should have been receiving them.

People will die. The only reason I didn’t die is because my mom helped me, because I had a PCP who would see me and bill me later, and the few times I needed pharmaceuticals I somehow figured out how to get money for them.

"It's good that Rs pushing back on #Medicaid cuts -bc it means that all the pressure they're getting -decided to stop holding is working. KEEP THE PRESSURE UP.

IOW -shouldn't be seen as principled defenders of MDCD. These aren't ppl with a history of standing on pp -a lot of words that sound thoughtful -but are🚨DEEPLY #EVIL..."

House Rs are starting to get seriously worried about possible #Medicaid cuts. A dozen vulnerable Rs wrote to l'ship threatening to vote agst a reconc bill that includes substantial cuts to the program.

The fate of Rs’ reconc bill -which will carry key GOP priorities like tax cuts, a PNT spending hike & more border security funding -is linked to the MDCD standoff. Remember, House Rs’ recon plan incls cutting $880B -much of which will likely have to come from MDCD.
