Growing Ebola outbreak. Weaker surveillance systems. Less global coordination. Experts warn the U.S. leaving the World Health Organization means we may have less visibility into outbreaks as they spread. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #Ebola #PublicHealth

A growing Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda is raising concern among global health experts. Weakened disease surveillance, public health cuts, and the U.S. pulling out of WHO have left the world more vulnerable. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

$1 trillion cut from healthcare. Black and brown women already face the highest maternal mortality rates. Less access to care won’t fix that. It will make it worse. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #healthcare

A new CDC director steps in as measles cases rise. But the bigger issue is instability. The CDC has seen multiple leadership changes since January 2025. That matters for how outbreaks are handled. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #CDC #Vaccines #Measles

Big promises, new packaging. The White House’s “Great Healthcare Plan” targets drug prices, subsidies, and transparency. But history shows reforms like this can shift costs as much as they reduce them. The fine print matters. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

A new White House healthcare plan is making bold claims about lowering costs. But the details matter. When you line it up against the ACA, the tradeoffs become clear, and not everyone comes out better. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #ACA #Healthcare
