Health Policy Valentines Too Sweet Not to Tweet

Nothing brightens our Twitter feeds like a few good health policy valentines ― except maybe a haiku or two. Tweeters showered us with love this season, writing poetic valentines about covid-19 testing and booster shots, the No Surprises Act, and more. Here are some of our favorites, starting with the winning tweet from @AlanJCard.

♡

Corona the virus,
Corona the beer,
Maskless at the bar,
You can get them both here.
The people running this show
Don’t seem to be listening,
So be my Valentine, dear;
We’ll do joint social distancing.#HealthPolicyValentines

Roses are red
violets are blue
Hearing aids, glasses and dentistry are healthcare too.#HealthPolicyValentines #MedicareMatters

♡

Heart-shaped candy,
and a single red rose.
These gifts are quite dandy,
As everyone knows.
But my wish for you, love,
It’s sweeter than sin.

Whether a narrow-network plan, or exclusively dating,
If you go out-of-network, you'll need arbitrating.#HealthPolicyValentines
