RFK Jr. claims to support “choice,” but his anti-vaccine stance has real consequences: lower vaccination rates, measles outbreaks, and kids at risk. Canceling trials and closing NIH research centers says it all. The Beat with Ari Melber msnbc.com/the-beat-with-…

New research: Middle-income countries with high COVID death rates – not low-income nations – faced greatest vaccine inequity. True equity means distribution by health burden, not population size. More in AJPH: ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/10.2105/AJ…

The US spends 2x more on healthcare than peers, but with worse outcomes. Admin costs are 25% of that spending. Better data is an essential step toward reducing excess expenses and improving the efficiency of our healthcare system. Health Affairs academic.oup.com/healthaffairss…

Surprising finding: When private equity acquires ophthalmology practices, they actually shift toward Medicare patients and away from higher-paying commercial insurance - the opposite of what we expected. New research in JAMA Network Open: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

One of America's most overlooked problems: healthcare churn. 20% of Americans change insurance plans yearly, and insurers are disincentivized to invest in preventative care. I discussed this on NPR's Planet Money. npr.org/2025/06/12/125…

1 in 4 cancer patients also battles depression – a devastating double burden that no one should have to endure. Our new study suggests that psilocybin combined with psychotherapy is a potentially paradigm-changing approach to cancer care.

All of this was avoidable.  When we choose not to vaccinate with this safe, very effective vaccine, there will be more measles, more hospitalizations, more suffering – and tragically, people will die. nytimes.com/2025/06/22/us/…

The US spends more than other countries on health care AND has worse outcomes. One clear opportunity to lower spending without compromising patient care: reducing admin costs. Our recommendations to improve the data and identify savings ⬇️Penn LDI ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/resea…

U.S. hospital admin costs are ~20–25% of health spending—a key target for savings without harming care. A new study by Zeke Emanuel finds Medicare Cost Reports, the only universal public hospital finance data, are too flawed to guide savings & policy.⤵️ ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/resea…

Trump's bill could strip Medicaid from 12 million Americans. Repeal isn't enough. Democrats must use this opportunity to propose bold reforms that truly fix Medicaid’s core problems. In The Bulwark, I share how to build a system that actually works: thebulwark.com/p/democrats-mu…

.Zeke Emanuel: “Tens of thousands of people thrown off of Medicaid, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people in Missouri. And that itself is going to cause a lot of people to die…Josh Hawley is trying to turn himself into a pretzel to justify a vote, which is unjustifiable.”

Analysis by LDI's Zeke Emanuel argues that middle-income countries with high death tolls were treated most inequitably, not low-income nations. Ethics demands more than equal shares—it demands vaccines go where they save the most lives. Read the essay: ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.210…
