Here's some really interesting research from Penn Medicine, showing that there's a big spike in health-related Google searches the week before a patient ends up in the emergency room. cnbc.com/2019/02/22/goo…

Finally, hello Twitter! #betterlatethannever

Agree. While "Medicare for All" might improve access, math doesn't hold on costs. Arguably, a national risk pool could lower premiums. But without lower US drug prices & delivery costs, we may be paying MUCH more...esp. as the population grows in size, sickness, and longevity.

Better healthcare also means better healthcare behaviors....

Yes!

A great read on how little we know about the science of nutrition...

Training data is everything in AI, and even more so when applied to healthcare.

To the anti-vaxxers.....feel free to have your beliefs, so long as you're willing to pay for their consequences too. I'd vote for you to pay a public health tax. There is no reason the rest of us should bear the burden of your choices.

Oh, simpler times!

A 6 yr old Oregon boy whose parents refused vaccination got the first pediatric case of tetanus in the state in 30 years. Produced lockjaw requiring a tracheostomy and 5 wks on a ventilator. (And the parents still won’t give him any vaccinations.) statnews.com/2019/03/07/nig…

Between the measles outbreak and now this....there must be a clear line between personal beliefs and public health costs & safety. We are going backwards on preventable diseases even though we live in the golden age of new cures.

69% of patient out-of-pocket costs in employer health plans are for coinsurance or meeting their deductibles, where what they pay is based on the actual price of care. Price transparency would help, if patients are able to shop around before getting care. healthsystemtracker.org/brief/increase…

When I was overseeing the Medicare and Medicaid programs, peers in other countries told me they paid 1/10th of the price we paid in the US for insulin. For a product made in the US.

ACA isn’t perfect but it does have many positives, and is popular. Republicans should really focus on improving the law vs trying to repeal it yet again. What upside do they see?
