OK folks enough is enough: As X is rapidly becoming a platform for peddling rightwing propaganda I am off to BlueSky and I thoroughly advise you to do likewise. So if you are interested in UHC posts please now follow me at bsky.app/profile/robyates123…

Thanx @thapagk for pursuing Universal Health Coverage with national health insurance as its central flagship. Hope we can forge an all-party national consensus to make Nepal an exemplar of UHC, learning from relevant experience of other countries. @MOHPnepal @WHO @unicef_nepal.

पैसा नभएकै कारण कुनै नेपाली उपचारबाट वञ्चित हुने छैनन् । स्वास्थ्य बिमामा आवश्यक सुधार गरेर हरेक नागरिकलाई समेट्ने हाम्रो सङ्कल्प हो।
Health is not charity, health is security.

If you ever needed persuading why you should leave X and join Bluesky.......
John Bolton, who is a staggeringly dumb warmonger, being against someone is a great sign!
Gaetz will be great.

Absolutely Cheryl this has been the story in India too where the AAP Govts in Delhi and Punjab have launched UHC reforms to challenge Modi. Any suggestions as to where this might happen CA? NY?

And might the Trump honeymoon be short-lived if he explicitly reduces health coverage? theguardian.com/us-news/2024…

I'm guessing @yates_rob 's theory on UHC as a potential election gamechanger in our dystopian conspiracy polycrisis times also still needs a bit of "tweaking" nytimes.com/2024/11/04/us/po… . Sadly.

Ah ha yes - absolutely true that the US will be moving away from UHC in the next few years but there is plenty of scope for new leader to champion UHC as a response to the inevitable post Trump chaos

How can a country be serious about UHC when it alllows its hospitals to lock up babies because their families can't pay the medical bills ?thenationonlineng.net/imo-jo…

Why is this important? 🧐
Fragmentation between GHS & UHC routinely leads to policy incoherence weakened health systems.
We saw this during #COVID19, Ebola, Zika, etc.
Understanding their shared past can inform effective integration moving forward.

Donald Trump is exhausted, unstable, and unfit to be President of the United States.
