PrEP use is currently under review by the US Preventive Services Task Force. Under the Affordable Care Act, screening and treatment recommendations that receive an A or B from the Task Force are required to be covered by private insurers. The evidence is pretty convincing that PrEP is effective, even in people with…

As an Old, I was waiting for someone to make this connection.

I’m just now finding out about this cancellation and I am devastated.

This happens so frequently that the hospital I work at has a written policy in stating that we will not honor a patient’s request to switch doctors based on race (or gender, which also happens with disturbing frequency).

The IOM recommendations were just updated and expanded. There were high hopes that we would have a Clinton presidency and that these recommendations would usher in expanded and improved healthcare coverage for women. Instead, the recommendations have been rolled out mostly under the radar with no fanfare and a great…

I signed up for this. It’s not big and flashy, but it’s one concrete thing you can do every day. https://dailyaction.org

Text rn from my 17 year old daughter:

Thrilled to see Stephanie Mills as Aunt Em!

I’m currently wearing a bright blue skirt covered in goddamn sailboats.

So...my daughter is also 17 and has also had a similar experience at work. I think you have absolutely done the right thing, all I would add is to encourage our daughter to keep her eyes open when she is arriving and especially leaving work. Not sure how your girl gets to and from work, but I had my daughter ask to…

Yes, this. So much self-righteousness and self-importance in this town. I’m also a fellow NYer, but have lived in Portland for 20 years. It gets more insufferable ever year, and honestly these two women represent #AGreatManyPortlanders.
