1/2 I just ran into @VP Mike Pence at the Drake Diner in Des Moines. I confronted him about his damaging health care cuts because for me it& #39;s not about politics, it& #39;s about saving lives.

2/2 When I told him he is putting my patients& #39; lives at risk, @VP deflected and denied knowledge of the policy. He either doesn& #39;t understand, or doesn& #39;t care about the impact of this administrations& #39; policies on patients everywhere.
I& #39;m a bit surprised by how this has taken off. I was truly just taking what so many of us are feeling and putting it out there. I& #39;m just one of many doctors doing this work.
