PATIENT CHOICE OR WHEN A PODCAST IS WORTH SOMETHING IS ⚕️ And a bizarre unpleasant debate about colonoscopy can have one positive outcome. I can show you what specifically I want to change in healthcare. Capsule colonoscopy is a modern alternative; you swallow a small camera that takes thousands of images. However, if you choose it today instead of the covered standard, the insurance will not contribute even what it would otherwise pay for a regular examination. You have to pay for the entire procedure yourself. And that is exactly why I advocate for patient choice. The insurance will continue to pay for everything you are currently entitled to. However, if you choose a different, more expensive option, you will only pay the difference. We are not taking anything from anyone. We are just giving people a greater opportunity to decide about their own care. What do you think about that? 💙 (translated)

Apparently, it is in line with President Putin's stated intention to complete the conquest of Donbass this year and is also apparently an alternative to what is happening on the ground, where the Russian offensive is stalling and, in some places, even has small setbacks. (translated)

The Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices has warned about the risks of using compounded estrogen formulas as an alternative to the shortage of authorized treatments for menopause, warning that their absorption may be lower and variable, making them a resource to be considered only as a last resort.

I can understand a 16-year-old turning on the "I don't care about politics, I want everything to burn" mode. They have no job prospects with AI, have only known economic crises, and still have at least 80 more years of life ahead. Many of us following here are in our 40s and 50s. We no longer have the privilege of waiting for Lula to finish breaking the country so that, if all goes well, things might start to improve by the time we are 60-70. Literally, our ONLY alternative is a change of power. To swap Lula for someone with less experience in structuring the state and less tendency to corrupt everything and everyone. Today that person is Flavio. In 4 years it could be another and then another. It's sad, but that's what we have. I do not want to turn 60 with Gleise, Bessias, Janja, Janones, and Lulinha's lawyer in the Supreme Court. I do not want to keep paying the bill for the endless social benefits, gas vouchers, free buses, and everything else that will be created until then to buy votes. I am tired of my money here being worthless abroad. I am tired of my R$ 100,000 here being just two months of salary for a fast food manager in the USA. I am fed up with Lulinha, Janja, Dirceu, Dino, Moraes, and the whole lot. If you're also tired of all this, anything other than voting for 22 is an irrational choice. And, in the worst-case scenario, if this whole mess continues, at least let it be other people robbing us and not the same ones from the last 20 years... (translated)

Vasco won against Noroeste 4 to 1 in a training match held on the morning of this Wednesday at the Luso-Brasileiro stadium. Pedro Emanuel took advantage of the activity to test alternatives, especially in the offensive sector, aiming for the absence of Andrés Gómez, suspended for the match against Botafogo. The goals for Cruzmaltino were scored by Puma Rodríguez, Lucas Piton, Paulo Henrique, and Johan Rojas. (translated)

I want to tell you that Caracol Radio had to cancel a debate on the discussion of abortion because they failed to get congress members or organizations to participate against me in the debate. They say it's with arguments, but they flee from the debate under the slogan: "women's rights are not debated." But in reality, it is the way they impose a vision of such a complex discussion as abortion and the lack of protection for the unborn and the pregnant mother. What happened yesterday, far from being violent (among other things because it was just one among all of them), was a claim. Not only a claim for life but a claim to have the debate exactly where it should take place, which is in the Congress of the Republic. To reclaim the legitimate right I have to be in this space to express something: They cannot speak in my name, nor in the name of the women I represent; not all women promote and defend abortion. In fact, some question it, and I wish they would take the time to listen to those of us who were on that side and today defend life, but especially to those who voluntarily had abortions and now regret it. Being pro-life is not just anti-abortion; being pro-life is a whole worldview, a structural reading of our society. How is motherhood? How is the quality of life? Does insecurity and violence influence decisions like being a mom or not? What happens with the adoption system? What alternatives exist so a woman does not have to resort to abortion? How do we improve the economic capacity of families to care for their children? How do we solve the family crisis? How do we make our country a place that prefers to give life rather than end it? How do we protect childhood from all threats to their life, freedom, and integrity? This needs to be talked about, and we should not shy away from the debate. If they set aside their prejudices, they would realize that questioning abortion is legitimate. (translated)

🚨 "Não há nenhuma dúvida de que isso vai afetar muito o negócio. Você pensa no Flamengo, por exemplo, com 20% da receita comprometida. Para quem acha que vai ficar ruim para o futebol, vai ficar MUITO PIOR para o ESPORTE OLÍMPICO. São R$ 20 milhões a menos para o Flamengo nos esportes olímpicos, R$ 63 milhões a menos em placas de publicidade e R$ 27 milhões a menos em placas no Carioca. Quem achar que vamos contratar jogadores... NÓS NÃO TEMOS CONDIÇÕES HOJE, enquanto estou falando aqui, de honrar os compromissos que nós assumimos baseados em contratos legais e honestos que foram celebrados em função do marco regulatório brasileiro. Vamos buscar alternativas? Vamos, mas os valores serão muito abaixo dos atuais." 🎙️ Bap, presidente do Flamengo. 📸 Flamengo TV #Flamengo #Futebol #Esporte

🚨 Agora! Consórcio Fla-Flu cita NFL e até El Niño para negar Maracanã para Vasco x Boca Juniors. Flamengo e Fluminense atribuíram a negativa às condições do gramado. O Vasco avalia recorrer à JUSTIÇA, mas prioriza uma autorização da Conmebol para jogar em São Januário. Segundo o consórcio, o clima prejudicou a recuperação do campo. A concessionária afirma que o agravamento das condições climáticas pelo EL NIÑO exigiu um planejamento especial. O Consórcio citou ainda a preocupação da NFL com o gramado para o jogo realizado ontem como motivo para ter cautela ao programar eventos. Fla e Flu dizem que a decisão NÃO é uma restrição ao Vasco. Lembram que o Cruzmaltino usou o Maracanã 6 vezes desde abril de 2025 e apontam o NILTON SANTOS como alternativa para a semifinal contra o Boca. 🗞️ @OGlobo_Esportes | @diogodantas 📸 Gilvan de Souza/CRF #Vasco #Maracanã #Futebol
