@kymeriandawn @DrAllyLouks Hi 👋 I have a medical condition (chronic migraines) that is triggered by smells and makes me hypersensitive to smells. I have never been triggered by a homeless person. Perfume on the other hand…Let’s not use disabled people as an excuse to discriminate!

This is the incredible type of service journalism we need right now. Tracking government dollars down to cents, and illustrating them with compelling human stories. Incredible work from @aneripattani and the @KFFHealthNews team!
NEW: Database by @KFFHealthNews, @JohnsHopkinsSPH & @ShatterproofHQ tracks 7,000+ ways opioid settlement money has been used, shining light on public health settlements worth $50B: In this 🧵, I’ll share a bit on how we built this & what we found.

4/ So are there toxicology questions worth asking re: fluoride? Maybe, I don’t think asking questions is bad. But if you think the answer is “we can just fix teeth later,” sorry to say that’s not how it’s gonna work out.

This is one of the reasons the most rapidly growing homeless population is elders. It's a crisis, and it's going to result in more older folks just dying on the streets.
I’ve learned a lot helping my family get my dad into hospice but one of the biggest realizations I’ve had is that our country is facing a geriatric financial time bomb. It is absolutely insane how much elder care costs. For my family if we were to have someone 24/7 it’s $450k a year

My latest: how the VA is leaving thousands of Vietnam veterans behind, and why an even bigger bubble is on the horizon. Thanks to @mefrankel and @TheWarHorseNews for working on this with me, and a big thank you to all the veterans who shared their stories.
