Lots of gratitude to the researchers who wrote about — and coordinated letters on — this issue. I'm sure to be missing folks, but: Adam Sacarny Josh Gottlieb (also @GottliebEcon.you.know.where) Lauren H. Nicholas Rachel Werner Sujith Ramachandran Anirban Basu

That said, this is clearly the start of a conversation, not the end of one.

Newly updated WP🧵!

TLDR: Scarcity may worsen implicit/explicit biases & cause discriminatory rationing of resources.

E.g, we find that as hospitals reach capacity, Black patients die more, potentially bc providers rely less on medical need- and more on race- to guide decisions

Huge thanks to Michael Darden and Daniel Polsky

PSA: I didn't see a reminder email for my DUA renewals and ResDAC confirms that CMS is no longer regularly sending- I caught mine in time but usually depend on the emails, FYI if you're in the same boat!

Great discussion and onnStata idiosyncrasies.. But the original paper lost me at using log(rapes+1)…

Thank you John John Mullahy ! I learned an enormous amount from you during our collaboration.

Co-authoring with ultrasmart Edward Norton has been a rewarding privilege.

Worth noting, this study used the CIPHR linkage at UNC Chapel Hill (ciphr.unc.edu), the kind of data infrastructure that is threatened with destruction by the new CMSGov policy limiting physical data access.

More discussions around the accessibility of CMS data…

Is it important for us to evaluate our healthcare system? Know which types of ambulances save more lives? Know if private partnerships hurt Medicare?

Then you should care about this.
