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

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,

"non-profit" hospitals having superbowl ads, something ain't adding up here

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.

New study out in Annals of Int Med with Rahul Aggarwal Rishi Wadhera, MD MPP Jose Figueroa, MD, MPH Karen Joynt Maddox Bruce Landon 1/ Medicare Advantage (MA) plans receive fixed payments from the federal government which are risk-adjusted based on beneficiaries underlying medical complexity.

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.

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
