Jordan Weissmann Hayden has done excellent work on applying an industrial policy approach to health care. His body of work complements well with Lawson’s big report from last year.

A lot of great conversations on healthcare abundance over the weekend (thanks to Matthew Yglesias), but wanted to address this. 1. While we clearly differ on CON, Hayden does excellent work and I'd encourage everyone to read his piece on public provisioning (link at the end). 🧵

5. We should also seriously consider how to maintain and expand access to public hospitals, including lifting the cap on public entity FQHCs, as Hayden Rooke-Ley notes in this piece: academic.oup.com/healthaffairss…

"We commend the Oregon House and Senate on their clear-eyed votes—in the face of intense out-of-state lobbying opposition—and we urge Governor Kotek to sign this bill without delay.” Hayden Rooke-Ley on the OR legislature passing a bill to close loopholes in the state's CPOM law.

Not quite. In the piece we discuss a range of “checks” that would actually work. And worth noting—the payment models you’re promoting either cost the government ~$100 billion (Medicare Advantage) or produce no savings (VBP) relative to the model you frame as having no checks.

And it’s time for federal leadership to take this on in EVERY state.

"Oregon is now the first state to address the most common loophole that allows corporate investors to evade CPOM bans and obtain control of medical practices." Hayden Rooke-Ley celebrates this win in our statement — and urges the OR leg to take further action to ensure its success.

"These are the sorts of conflicts of interest we worry about when an insurance company also owns the payment pipes and a bank." Hayden Rooke-Ley, quoted in NBC News, on UnitedHealth Group seizing doctors’ reimbursements to pay Optum loans ⬇️
