The progressive healthcare community is FED UP with what we see happening to our patients, our communities, and our world. 1/https://twitter.com/andrewmaketweet/status/1016389229688053761 …

Our experience in healthcare touches on many issues beyond just healthcare itself. Most of us have seen patients affected by gun violence, poverty, homelessness, the criminal justice system, the immigration system, the environment, and more. We are FED UP. 2/

Many healthcare providers have interacted with the political system for years as patient advocates. But the current administration has made us see that there is much more we need to do. Running for office and advocating more broadly seems a natural step. We are FED UP. 3/

Even though I did not win my primary, I have no intention of sitting down and shutting up. People’s lives are at stake. People who I have been caring for for decades. People who are hurting and scared. I am FED UP. 4/
