Thrilled to report Patho-DBiT, just published in Cell 😊. It allows us to directly “see” all kinds of RNA species on the same clinical FFPE tissue slide, including mRNA, miRNA, snRNA, snoRNA, tRNA, etc, and splicing isoforms, genetic alterations (SNV, CNV, etc). Really a fun,

GLP1s are a MUCH higher value to society than Medicare Advantage. We could shift the 80B in annual overpayments to MA and FULLY cover GLP1s, DOUBLE payments to PCPs, and DECREASE costs. Metabolic diseases would plummet and we would solve primary care access. Jose Figueroa, MD, MPH

Is there a secret cabal of pundits, insurers, and health systems that conspire to confuse the public with the term “provider” in order make it seem that MD $$ is increasing rapidly when the reality is it’s less than inflation and the $$ is going to admins in “provider” orgs.

Will Robbins Joe Lonsdale I totally hear you. But the issue is that it isn't your capital at risk. The reason we have a different rate for capital vs labor is to incentivize people to put up their own capital. To invest in America. For whatever reason, we have decided to tax people's labor at a different,

Since the ACA, the prevailing strategy to improve Medicare has been "do value-based care harder." This hasn't worked, and won't work. We chart a new course in this paper.

Medicare Advantage plans have been criticized for risk coding practices, which result in billions of $ in excess payments by the government Our Annals of Int Med study finds that the burden of chronic medical conditions is largely similar among adults in MA vs traditional Medicare,

Medicare Advantage has been an abject failure… highly doubt any amount of tweaks to risk adjustment can fix a fundamentally flawed program that should be terminated.

Answers to a few questions from Nina Teicholz, PhD about incidences of censorship I recently experienced at NIH: 1. My request was denied by HHS to present an invited keynote talk on my ultra-processed food (UPF) research at the Bloomberg Philanthropies annual Food Policy Program

Faulty thinking like this from state regulators is a primary reason why the US suffers from both high prices (not enough competition in hospital, imaging and surgical care due to anti-abundance policies) and shortages in primary care due to setting prices lower than costs.

Hospital prices are high because faulty thinking from regulators who allowed hospital monopolies to form and then block new supply because afraid of increasing total expenditures. There are better remedies for supply induced demand.States have chosen the worst approach.

Many Vets enrolling in Medicare Advantage get zero care paid by plans. MA insurers argue that vets get extra benefits (vision + dental). But in new JAMA study, we find that this claim is NOT actually the truth. Adam Beckman MD Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Wow…. Little more back story on the Guardian article. Olivant’s opinion needs to be read (click the pictures in the repost). United’s goal was to remove doctors from the decision making tree and it had disastrous results. Medicine is a team sport. Without a physician leading
