Being an abolitionist is tiring but necessary work. The fact that it's still needed in 2021 disappoints me to no end. But I'm not going to stop waking people up to the persistence of racial oppression.

Excellent article about a topic that’s as complex as it is important. Integration is vital for a broad range of reasons. High among them, reducing barriers for low-income residents with serious mental illness or substance use disorder.

In #CrainsForum this month, I took a fresh look at the hugely complicated issue of integrating behavior & physical health in Michigan’s $3B Medicaid mental health program. crainsdetroit.com/crains-forum/s… (no paywall for this @crainsdetroit public affairs content)

#COVID19 has created once-in-a-generation conditions that are making putting food on the table harder than ever. Act now with @hunger: Tell lawmakers to pass additional #COVIDRelief that will fully address levels of hardship we’ve never seen before. bit.ly/3a7XrY7

"Losing access to clean water is coming at a time when COVID-19 cases are at their highest level ever in MI, higher than they were at the time Gov Whitmer issued her water restoration order on March 28. Water bills are piling up." - @mudowp @BridgeMichigan bridgemi.com/guest-commenta…

As eyes shift toward Michigan this morning and later today, we feel now is a good time to remind folks - and we don't want to sound arrogant - that this is the single greatest state in America and we will hear no arguments to the contrary #Election2020

Is a zoom filter an adequate replacement for a #halloweencostume in the time of Covid?

Udow-Phillips notes that the ACA has survived repeal efforts because of the voice of voters. "What happens going forward, even if the ACA is no longer under threat, voices are important to equity and to reduce disparities" by expanding coverage. #ACAturns10

Udow-Phillips notes that the parts of the ACA that aren't about insurance coverage don't get much attention - because they're not politically contentious. Experiments with bundled payments are showing interesting trends - and the CMMI state innovation program too. #ACAturns10


I like this.

Michigan Radio's staff composition has failed to reflect the communities it covers. As one of the many steps we are taking to be more transparent and to address diversity and inequality, we have committed to publishing an annual report on the demographic composition of our staff.

#COVID19 has been a heat-seeking missile for anyone in our county experiencing health or social challenges. COVID exacerbates existing comorbidities and creates new ones says Washtenaw County epidemiologist Adreanne Waller @wcpublichealth whiopioidproject.org/2020-opioid-su…

"One of the things that is profoundly true in Washtenaw County is that it's very expensive to be poor," says epidemiologist Adreanne Waller. "Over the last 10 years, the years of potential life lost rate has increased 4,000 percent in the county's high poverty census tracts."
