"Some doctors are pushing to organize the 10,000 attending physicians within the University of California system, setting in motion what could become the largest union of employed physicians, organizers say. Factors driving the organization effort include hiring freezes, increasing patient loads, long hours, and clinician burnout..." https://www.medpagetoday.com/publichealthpolicy/workforce/122364 #heathcare #physicians #workers #labor #unions #organizing #california

Skip the Last Two Paragraphs—and Other Time-Saving Tips for Healthcare News Consumers

Media coverage of private health insurance fails primarily because of an unwillingness to bluntly dismiss meaningless policy solutions.

Please share this petition. The more signatures we collect, the harder it will be for Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Monster, The Arora Group, and other healthcare job boards to ignore their role in recruiting medical workers for ICE detention facilities. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-indeed-linkedin-and-healthcare-job-boards-stop-helping-ice-detention-centers-hire-doctors-and-nurses #healthcare #physicians #nurses #MedStudents #unions #labor #immigration #ICE #incarceration #detention #action #advocacy

"Yet an examination of Washington discipline records by KUOW and ProPublica found that regardless of what the law calls for, Washington fails to reliably call the public’s attention to serious misconduct allegations against doctors who have been allowed to keep practicing while their cases proceed." https://www.propublica.org/article/washington-doctor-misconduct-failed-disclosure via @ProPublica@newsie.social#healthcare #physicians #bioethics #misconduct #SexualAssault #licensing #washington
Washington Law Says to Alert the Public When Doctors Are Accused of Misconduct. It Can Take Months.

Washington Law Says to Alert the Public When Doctors Are Accused of Misconduct. It Can Take Months.

In the case of Mark Mulholland, who was repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct, the board waited six weeks to announce that it had filed charges. He was allowed to keep seeing patients during that time, and one alleges he abused her in the interim.

"The insurance industry is embracing MAHA, while the doctors’ lobby is pushing against the movement’s leader, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who many physicians see as a danger to public health. The opposing forces could shape Kennedy’s policy decisions on issues ranging from how much doctors earn to treat Medicare patients to how the government regulates medical services." https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/28/health-insurers-maha-rfk-doctors-00977386 #healthcare #HealthPolicy #insurance #physicians #HHS #CMS #medicare #MAHA #USpol

"About a quarter of people worldwide say they believe that raw milk is healthier than pasteurized milk, that use of acetaminophen during pregnancy causes autism, and that vaccines are used for population control. These are a few of the harmful health claims that were surveyed in the 5th annual Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report: Trust and Health." https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/public-health/new-global-health-misinformation-survey-reveals-deep-divides #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #misinformation #milk #acetaminophen #autism #pregnancy #vaccines #physicians

"Now, the Trump administration is ratcheting up the pressure on countries to pull out of these arrangements with Cuba. A number in Latin America and the Caribbean are falling into line. Among the nations yielding to this pressure are Guatemala, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Paraguay and Honduras. They're phasing out the programs, reevaluating the payment model and sometimes canceling altogether." https://www.npr.org/2026/03/24/nx-s1-5746626/cuba-doctors-mission-blockade #healthcare #GlobalHealth #cuba #physicians #USpol

Cuba sends doctors on medical missions. The U.S. isn't a fan

It's a major source of revenue for the island. And it's controversial. Now countries are sending Cuban doctors home in response to pressure from the Trump administration.
