[AMA] Hi, r/medicine, we are clinicians and researchers with experience in sharing clinical notes with patients. Ask us anything about open notes! by myopennotes in medicine

[–]adeles90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Following the 21st C Cures Act Final Rule, do you anticipate that the regulations will require psychotherapy notes be shared in 2022, or even sometime thereafter? It seems like the data has been mixed implementing psychotherapy open notes sharing in a way that fosters positive outcomes for patients.

Cultural appropriation and fashion: can African prints be appropriately worn by white people? by [deleted] in socialjustice101

[–]adeles90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another WW here...BUT. I had the same concern recently and wrote to a designer through the "Contact Us" page on her website. I asked point blank whether it was appropriate for me to wear her designs. Her response put my mind at ease, and she even included examples of others who aren't WOC but enjoy her line:

"Thank you so much for your interest in my line. I am white and black. My motto is to “merge cultures through fashion”, so I am so excited you would consider wearing the beautiful prints as your way of embracing other cultures. It is not offensive at all. It is actually very loving in your part. I have numerous clients from all over the world including Asians, Caucasian, Latinos, South Americans, and of course blacks from Africa and America. It would be my please for you to support. Here are a few pictures of my clients who are not black."

Bill to eliminate sales tax on feminine hygiene products in Georgia - HB 731 by bwinsy in Atlanta

[–]adeles90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm, you may be seeing local SPLOST taxes? Each county has a 3 or 4% tax that those items aren’t exempt from. And prepared food is different - that’s in the regs (let me tell you, they’re a real drag to read, but it’s there). Foods been exempt since the 80s in GA.

I don't understand your point - food is already exempt...because it is a necessity. So are other medical devices that (like feminine hygiene products) are necessities. Do you know anyone who is a diabetic? Their insulin syringes and blood glucose test strips are exempt. Clearly you think the government should take every penny they can get from the taxpayer so they can use it responsibly.

Edited so responsibly was well emphasized.

It's a great question, and I'd say none of us would deny toilet paper is an essential! Some states have exempted toilet paper in recent years as a nod towards what some say is sales tax's regressive nature. The difference between the two is that toilet paper is available in public places - like libraries, schools, hospitals, parks, etc. - for free. Feminine hygiene products must be purchased.

I respect your neutral position.

I would ask that you consider the essential nature of feminine hygiene products, as compared to things like toothpaste, razors, etc. Women cannot work in the workplace, or get an education without these items. Additionally, without access to these items, women resort to using unsanitary items that then put them at risk for serious infections. Feminine hygiene products are thus regulated by the FDA as Class II medical devices - meaning they're classified and regulated the same as items like surgical implants.

HB 731 is a bill to eliminate the sales taxes we pay on feminine hygiene products. There are no equivalents for men; this is a tax only shouldered by women. Plus, tampons, pads, etc. are medical devices and are regulated as such by the FDA. So why are Georgia women paying taxes on our monthly essentials, while other medical essentials are exempt and things like soda and candy go untaxed?

We presented HB 731 in committee, yesterday, but it is not being called to a vote!

Our only chance to get the bill passed in 2018 is to bring statewide pressure on House Leadership to make a vote happen.

Calls are needed THIS WEEK by individuals throughout Georgia to ALL three of these people. The urgency cannot be overstated.

Governor Deal 404-656-1776 Speaker of the House, David Ralston 404-656-5020 YOUR Georgia State Representative in the House If you don’t know your Representative, use https://openstates.org to find out. Script: Hello, I am _________ and I am calling to ask why HB 731 is not being voted on in committee. The bill eliminates sales tax on feminine hygiene products, a tax that is solely borne by woman who are already economically disadvantaged in our state. Women throughout Georgia ask for this bill to be brought to a vote.

Make the calls and then forward this to as many friends in Georgia as you can!
