Medicaid Expansion is possible because of people like Penny. She was brave enough to get out and tell her story, and because of her, hundreds of thousands of working North Carolinians will now get health care.

Our study is out nature. We identify non-lipid risk pathways for coronary artery disease using pooled CRISPR-interference for 2,285 genes at GWAS loci. With an amazing team we identified the genetic risk pathways for CAD that act in endothelial cells. nature.com/articles/s4158…

"It’s about access and equity." New obesity medications like #Ozempic are trending in the media, but what about older, generic options like phentermine? Learn more about Kristina Lewis and Jamy D. Ard and their #LEAP research: bit.ly/3Tg18Bm

Says Sarah Ro, MD, #GLP1orBust is a lame way to think about #ObesityCare. Daniel Engber reminds us that people can get half the effect of #Ozempic for 1/30th of the expense. Nope, obesity medicine wasn't born yesterday. 1/2 conscienhealth.org/2024/03/obesit…

The current BAR for GLP1 indication in U.S. is TOO LOW. GLP1 is a powerful drug and many in the Weight Management bucket without serious comorbidities do not need this drug. There are older oral agents that are available and affordable NOW for lower risk groups! And they work!
