This comes as a surprise to many people because so much of health costs are not out-of-pocket (aside from drugs), and are instead shrouded behind insurance premiums that eat into wages and increase by 5-7% a year.

A few months ago, a generative AI tool for helping doctors diagnose and treat disease was certified in Europe. But what does that mean? And would that device pass FDA muster? The FDA, to date, hasn't released guidelines on generative AI medical devices. statnews.com/2025/07/03/ai-…

They turned Jan 6 into a tabletop game/theater experience. Suspend your disbelief for a second and read to the end (gift link) As a fan of both tabletop and psychological theater ideas, after understanding the creators' intent, I actually like this: wapo.st/4eJOuE0

MAHA overlooks differences between the U.S. and Europe that make a much bigger impact on health than things like additives, like soda taxes, color-coded food warning labels, walkable cities, and low-cost, accessible health care. STAT statnews.com/2025/07/10/mah…
