deer witch--surgery slow replyIf anyone has good tools for figuring out when #buildings were built please lay them on me.
I’m very reactive to ~unknown something~ which especially is in 1970s buildings. Indoor diagnostics next week.
I’ve been trying to pull building #permits on gov websites but it’s very hit and miss.
Thank you!!
Danni StormMedical and health research is vital to medicine and public health. There are already real world impacts felt around the country and around the world. People are dying, medical breakthroughs being delayed or prevented, and we are dismantling protections against #environmentalhazards. To put it in terms of money: health research grant money has a tangible #roi. It is not a money sink: we get more than we put in.
Access to healthcare is also being threatened with cuts to Medicaid which would prevent many who currently qualify from qualifying in the future. This means more #humans being kept from health insurance. A trip to the doctor is no longer a question of time or coinsurance but instead a decision between #life with crippling #debt or #death. #republicans are pushing for these cuts so their rich buddies pay even less in taxes and we can spend more the military. They are responsible for when you or your loved ones are faced with the decision between debt and death.
