Now that I'm back from maternity leave, I wanted to talk about two goals of mine for @statnews' First Opinion section for the coming months. To be clear, this thread is intended not so much for journalists--it's for experts interested in reaching STAT's audience.

Physicians and midwives, not legislators, must be the decision-makers when it comes to providing medically necessary emergency and abortion care. trib.al/NLbagqd

Why lifesaving tests for organ transplant patients are now out of reach for many usatoday.com/story/news/hea…

Join us for a press conference tomorrow, Thurs., Sept. 21 at 2pm ET! We're rallying the transplant community to urge @POTUS & @SecBecerra to protect Medicare coverage for non-invasive blood tests. Full details: bit.ly/3LwqQx8 Register here: bit.ly/3PtD1fk

We agree with @WSJopinion that Medicare got it wrong! Their call was bad for transplant patients. wsj.com/articles/moidx…

How does this make sense? Margaret Gamble needs to use a molecular test to monitor the health of her donated kidney. But a new Medicare rule has her insurer balking at covering the test — potentially putting the kidney at risk, @elaineywchen reports. statnews.com/2023/06/13/med…

Great conversations tonight at #STATinDC about the politics of #healthcare! The #HepC convo was inspiring- a classic #publichealth problem: we know the treatments but need to find the people. @NicholasFlorko @SciFleur

This clip from the Daily Show of people fighting against seat belt mandates in the 80s is absolutely surreal from start to finish given today's climate on both masks and COVID vaccines.

Although developing #kidneyfailure at nearly 4X the rate of white counterparts, Black Americans are still less likely to be placed on the #transplant wait list and less likely to receive a transplant once added. Here's how we can work together for change: bit.ly/3gLL3jH
