The life of a doctor isn’t easy these days. Many are saddled with massive student loan debt, work long hours and continue to deal with the trauma of treating patients during the pandemic.
Doctors, nurses and other front-line health-care workers bore the brunt of the pandemic. Many contracted covid-19, and some even had to intubate their colleagues. Others developed long covid, and some suffered such intense emotional pain that they died by suicide. Doctors who want to seek mental health support are fearful of retribution from state licensing boards.
National Doctors’ Day is celebrated every…

Cruel health care cut targets the most vulnerable
By the mid-1990s, it was common for analysts to lament a rising culture of meanness. Public anger and government cutbacks seemed aimed at punishing those already struggling. Worse, the mood took hold at the very time the wealth and income gaps between the rich and the rest was expanding.
There’s a strong taste of that mood in the decision by Doug Ford’s government to wind down a pandemic program, established in March 2020, to give uninsured Ontario patients access to medically necessary care.
It was a program of the Health Network for Uninsured Clients, in a report released last week,…

What Ron DeSantis Has Actually Done to Florida
Mmedia coverage of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s all-but-announced candidacy for president is already in full frenzy, and so far the script is exactly as his handlers would like it to be. The governor regularly opens up new fronts in the culture wars, sowing alarm over critical race theory, transgender rights, or border policies. In response, liberal pundits fell into the trap of accentuating the very issues DeSantis had chosen to fire up his base.
Omitted from the public debate about DeSantis’s policies is almost any discussion of his actual record of governance—what exactly he has delivered to the citizens of…
Ontario extended medical care coverage to uninsured patients during a pandemic, but that’s ending
Rose Celeste of Toronto says she spent years avoiding a visit to the doctor.
As an undocumented migrant worker from the Philippines, she fears something as simple as a checkup could lead to a run-in with the law and jeopardize her life in Canada.
But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit three years ago, that changed. The province directed hospitals to temporarily provide medically necessary care to patients without coverage while reimbursing them for the expense — something that led Celeste, 61, to discover and then treat her thyroid cancer.
Without the program, she estimates she’d be thousands of dollars in…
