It's been one full year since the NCAA allowed Lia Thomas to swim against the women at the Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving National Championships after competing on the men’s team at the same university for three years prior. One full year since Lia Thomas became the first male to win a DI national title, beating out many female Olympians and American record holders in the process. One full year since we, as female athletes, lost the ability to consent in areas of undressing where males with intact genitalia were exposing themselves. One full year since Thomas and I tied in the 200 freestyle, but Thomas got the trophy as it was necessary for “photo purposes.”
One full year of sending letter after letter ([link removed]) and email after email to the members of the governing bodies within the NCAA, which have still not received a response. One full year of female athletes messaging me privately to share their own eerily similar experiences that they don't feel comfortable sharing publicly for fear of retaliation, losing playing time, or being labeled “transphobic.” One full year of parents reaching out to me to share how heartbreaking it is for them to have to watch on the sidelines as their daughters are sidelined so a male could be in the spotlight that their daughters rightfully earned.

More and more people are realizing the jeopardy that women face, but it's time we band together. We need bold voices who are willing to stand firm in the truth and, quite frankly, common sense. Let's keep working relentlessly to save women’s sports!

** Mom Receives Shocking $47,000 Medical Bill After C-Section ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Federal law now requires hospitals and insurers to display prices upfront so patients can shop for healthcare services, tests, or procedures, just as you shop for anything else on the market.

But that isn’t happening. Patients like Partee-Manders are still getting hit with surprising medical bills, often when it’s too late to negotiate. Nearly 60% of people report receiving a medical bill they weren’t expecting. Read more ([link removed])

** Expansion of Price Controls on Medicine Will Cost Even More American Lives ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden’s Fiscal Year 2024 budget proposal includes an expansion of Democrats’ drug price controls, originally passed in the “Inflation Reduction Act” (IRA). This policy shows an utter disregard for the importance of medical innovation. After all, the cost of stunting innovation in medicine is the loss of human life.
