Also probably keeping smart doctors and nurses away from these deep red areas is the possibility of leaving work one night and being confronted in the parking lot by an armed mob of dipshits angry that you gave their father the COVID vaccine.
Christian Nationalists proudly wave the banner, PRO-LIFE, completely ignoring our infant mortality rate, 33rd worst amongst the 38 OECD countries. If we just matched the OECD average 5,000 more babies would live. If we matched the Massachusetts average nationwide we could save 5,800 lives.
OTOH, if we matched Mississippi’s rate we would lose another ~9,500 babies.

I'm guessing that translates into "all our OB/GYNs are running for friendlier states before they end up in jail for treating patients in a way that the local law enforcement considers wrongthink."
You forgot the $millions spent on ads: all the stupid mail pieces I started getting 6 mos before my Medicare eligibility; the barrage of ads targeting state workers during open enrollment; the ads for urgent care centers in every bus.
About those pharmaceutical ads--I once asked my doctor about them. He said he was all in favor. Because his patients would talk to him about things they would otherwise not.
I’m fucking delighted as a Canadian (since 2009) that the brain drain will Absofuckinglutely benefit Canada and other countries with their knowledge and experience. Making Americkkka dumb again is my goal. Let them who went along with the shit show become stupid and racist and isolated from the civilized population of the world! Fuck them all!
Ta, Robyn. I too want everyone to have healthcare. Working in an FQHC in The South Bronx, where no one can be turned away for being uninsured, has taught me a lot. Of course, because a lot of our funding is federal, we cannot provide abortion care. The closest we can come to that is a referral, and this in a state where abortion is totally legal.

Looking like the problem is solving itself.
