📢 Exciting news! 🎉 Just published a paper in Health Affairs with Zach Brown, Sarah Miller, Edward Norton, & Andrew Ryan. 🏥 Our study, funded by Arnold Ventures, examines the impact of the Oregon state employee plan’s hospital payment cap on hospital prices.

A disappointing outcome, for sure.

In particular, it looks like even the tiny site-neutral payment fix from the House package is getting left out.

Similarly, it doesn't look like we're going to get better Medicare Advantage data or information on PE & payer ownership.

I definitely support Oregon HB 4130 put forth by Ben Bowman. We need to take action to limit the rampant spread of private equity in health care. This is a good first step. You can contact Rep Bowman’s office to share your thoughts!

Congrats NC! I'm jealous.

I live in a Medicaid work requirement state. How's that going? apnews.com/article/georgi…

Stealth consolidation in action. And without ownership transparency, it's hard to know exactly which physicians are owned by Optum.

Kudos to Yashaswini Singh, PhD and Ambar La Forgia for making an impact on efforts to counter PE's health care landgrab with policy-relevant research!
