Researchers across the country have expressed concerns over a new proposal by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which they fear will increase fees and decrease access to important data used to support major health care reforms. This comes amid broader worries about the future of healthcare and research, with some experts highlighting that Medicaid expansion has not led to better health outcomes and has instead reallocated services away from vulnerable groups such as low-income kids and people with disabilities to able-bodied, working-age adults. Additionally, criticisms have been raised about the impact of privacy rules on medical research and the decision-making processes of virologists and administrative bodies, which some believe have prioritized public relations and self-interest over transparency and public health, resulting in millions of deaths.
The virologists and the administrative state chose public relations and their selfish interests over honesty and openness, and millions have died, and we are likely to see this repeated with another virus. https://t.co/JCVihio0nh
In medicine, privacy rules have destroyed the ability to conduct research on health and longevity. A great demonstration of the way activists and politicians use paranoia and fear to make people’s lives worse. https://t.co/gq27mf3P2T
Importantly, Medicaid expansion has not resulted in better health outcomes. Important new studies show that Medicaid expansion reallocates services away from low-income kids and people with disabilities to able-bodied, working-age adults. https://t.co/bF7KjYV0ih

Some researchers “worry about a future in which people will give these models more control and the harm could be much larger.” https://t.co/7gXBqBuujA
