The #AISummit has been overbooked, understaffed and mismanaged. Arrived at 9, waited an hour and 10 minutes to get a badge (even though I was already pre registered). Missed the first session, got in a huge line for the 10:10 session and was shut out of that. Awful. – at Manhattan, NY

After our volunteer work we got a history lesson and tour of the 185-year-old Lockkeepers house on the National Mall. It’s worth popping in to see the 6-minute immersive video. #Pew75 – at Washington, DC

What if hospice services weren’t just for the dying? Encouraging results from a federal pilot Medicare program could lead to greater access to services. #SOTU pew.org/3O1Y9aj

18 states enacted laws against surprise medical bills between 2014 and 2021. Some researchers say the measures have led providers to increase in-network fees—raising health care costs for everyone. pew.org/3f1uHCP #SOTU

During the #SOTU, President Biden is expected to cover his Unity Agenda—which includes ending cancer. 1 treatment barrier: Antibiotic-resistant superbugs. “What happened to our daughter should not happen to anyone. It should not even be a possibility." pew.org/2TU85s9

An ASCO member survey shows serious harms from insurance prior authorization in oncology patients including: delays in treatment (96%), being forced into second choice therapy (93%), denial of therapy (87%), disease progression (80%), loss of life (36%). #Fixpriorauth
Prior authorization (PA) is harming people w cancer. According to our survey, PA delays Tx, worsens outcomes, & diverts clinicians from pt care. Nearly all participants say a pt has experienced harm bc of PA. See full results: fal.cn/3tP2O #ASCOAdvocacy #FixPriorAuth

This pic was taken the year I registered to vote. Democracy is us, it requires our attention, it needs care and feeding to stay healthy. Young people, go register, make your voice heard and exercise your right to vote. Do it for Democracy, or do it for my birthday on November, 8

RIP Olivia Newton-John. She survived 5 years since her MBC (stage4) diagnosis. She was 30 yrs out from her early stage diagnosis. It’s a shame that we haven’t moved the survival needle further on stage iv metastatic breast cancer.

Love Olivia Newton-John. Hate breast cancer. Despite early detection and treatment, 30% of all early-stagers will go on to develop metastatic stage 4 breast cancer which still has no cure. #RIPOliviaNewtonJohn #stage4needsmore
