Contrary to President Donald Trump’s claim that no one will die as a result of the Republican budget bill, an analysis from the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University estimated that the legislation’s changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act will result in at least 42,500 preventable deaths each year. At the same time, independent Sen. Bernie Sanders has slightly overstated the estimate.
Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."
The provision of just 1% more green space in the most deprived urban neighborhoods in 3 out of the 4 UK nations may be linked to around 40% fewer preventable deaths in these areas, finds research published online in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health.

CW: The article contains disturbing child abuse, resulting in death. #TriggerWarning.
The placement was approved by both #BritishColumbia Ministry of #Children & Family Development & the family service’s department of the boy’s First Nation, but the report says the ministry did not complete #BackgroundChecks or visit the home before the siblings were moved there.
Charlesworth said the lack of communication, #DueDiligence & #DueProcess would “prove to be a massive error” because those in charge of the boy’s safety could have learned the woman had prior involvement with the ministry over physical #abuse of her child & there were documented concerns about her partner’s “conduct with children.”
