    1/2 I just ran into @VP Mike Pence at the Drake Diner in Des Moines. I confronted him about his damaging health care cuts because for me it's not about politics, it's about saving lives. #DrakeUniversity #IowaCaucus #TrumpRallyIA #MedTwitter

    This little shit literally cast the tie-breaking vote to rip healthcare away from 17 million people.
    JD Vance: "It's about kicking illegal aliens the hell out of this country so we can preserve healthcare for the American families who need it."

    IMPORTANT: In coming weeks, as #COVID19 numbers stay high (or rise) in many states, @realdonaldtrump may try to blame it on #BlackLivesMatter protests. As an ER doc, I can tell you it’s a stunt designed to evade accountability & should be refuted ASAP. Here are the facts: 1/8

    After a long ER shift where nearly half my patients had alarming #COVID19 signs and symptoms (chest pain, shortness of breath, vomiting, high fevers, hypoxia) this is how it feels to see the president triumphantly declare the virus to be no big deal:

    As a doctor, I'm deeply concerned that the White House's sabotage of USPS may literally cost many Americans their lives. Let me repeat that: The administration's plan to slow down the mail could cause folks to die, if they don't get their medications on time. Here's how: (1/9)

    As an ER doc trying to treat patients who may have COVID-19, I can't underscore enough how much harder the lack of testing is making our job. Yes we're used to making life-or-death decisions with limited information, daily. But this scenario is very different. Here’s why: (1/12)

    Heading in for my night shift in the ER here in #Michigan and while @realDonaldTrump is attacking @GovWhitmer on cable news, I’m still using 1 paper mask/shift because Trump won’t use the #DPANow to get me #PPE. Still not enough tests. #NeveraHoax

    As a doctor whose wife experienced 4 miscarriages amongst the 3, now healthy adult children we have raised, I can’t stop thinking about @JDVance’s answers on abortion during the VP debate. Here is the problem with his and Trump’s “leave it to the states” approach. 1/13

    As an ER doctor for 2 decades, I have seen the #ACA transform the lives of my patients. This week, one week before the election, @SpeakerJohnson told us that he and @realDonaldTrump will “deregulate” healthcare and that there will be “No Obamacare.” What does this mean? 🧵 1/10
    Mike Johnson says one of Trump’s top priorities will be to repeal the Affordable Care Act and rip away health care from tens of millions of Americans: “No Obamacare”

    Replying to @DrRobDavidson and @VP
    2/2 When I told him he is putting my patients' lives at risk, @VP deflected and denied knowledge of the policy. He either doesn't understand, or doesn't care about the impact of this administrations' policies on patients everywhere.

    To be blunt: Our ability to fight this virus has been seriously hurt by right-wing pundits & the President, who convinced people it's “just a cold” and will go away “like that.” For us ER docs to do our job, those comments need to stop. And massive testing needs to start. /END.

    It’s painful to say, but as an ER doc who talked to @Mike_Pence about healthcare, I believe he's uniquely unqualified to lead the #Coronavirus response & must step down from that role. Based on events on the ground, here's why I fear he is making things worse: (1/9) #PenceUnfit

    Doctor here. A real one that takes care of COVID patients. I’m kind of fed up with quacks like you spreading disinformation that harms my patients.

    Done arguing with anyone here. You think I make up dead people? You think I whine too much? That I need to shut up and do my job? That I’m a Big Pharma shill? To hell with you. I’m just trying to have a positive impact on the patients I treat and share the reality of the pandemic
