A Love Letter to #HealthPolicyValentines

In what’s become a tradition, nurses, doctors, and policy experts took to Twitter to share mostly lighthearted poems and notes about healthcare issues, large and small.

Here are a few we #love:

I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But to help you keep your Medicaid,
The FCC says I can text you baby

I love you & I hope you’ll stick around, but I don’t want you to feel trapped in this relationship. Let’s take a cue from the @FTC & skip the #noncompete. ❤️ #healthpolicyvalentines

Roses are red,
And policies are choices,
Health equity for all,
Starts with centering community voices.#HealthPolicyValentines

Some states are red
Some states are blue
Affordable & accessible health care for all
Should be a nonpartisan issue#HealthPolicyValentines

Affordable and without restrictions,
That’s how birth control should be.
Better yet, make it over-the counter and free!#HealthPolicyValentines

Roses are red
But I’m so blue
‘Cause our COVID response
Is now “you do you.”#HealthPolicyValentines
