With that path no longer a viable option, the the idea of […] Read More »

Andrew Yang will continue to play a role in the DNC upcoming nomination process after concluding that the mission of ensuring the Freedom Dividend or Universal Basic Income (UBI) is necessary to be part of the DNC platform. Andrew will conclude that waiting until 2024 is too long and too risky for the country and eventual Democratic nominee not to adopt as part of the platform. DONATE TO ANDREW YANG’S CAMPAIGN Suspending the campaign, resting, reassessing and resetting is exactly why he will be back. So much happened so fast and the problems the campaign had in scaling up to make a material impact became more apparent. The good news is the campaign has good leadership making the tough and important judgement call. The good news is Andrew will be back. The campaign will be back. It will be very different than what we’ve seen so farMy blog post was […] Read More »

Women and doctors should feel reassured and comforted that getting access to birth control contraception safely and conveniently is as simple as downloading an app and the care provided equals or exceeds that of an in-person office visit.

Researchers created seven standardized patients, some who have medical conditions that would require a change in treatment from a traditional combination pill with estrogen to a […] Read More »
