Canada still doesn't want to sell drugs to the US because the supply demand still cannot support it 🤷♂️
Breaking: FDA approves Colorado’s plan to import cheaper drugs from Canada trib.al/BxYlNPc
A program built to help vulnerable patients is being hijacked by large hospital systems pocketing billions. 340B has grown to $80B+ with little accountability. Proud to support the Trump admin's Rebate Model Pilot Program to strengthen oversight & program integrity.
Major Medicare Advantage plans almost always reversed their denials on appeal, raising big questions about barriers to care. trib.al/fGnyM0t
The Health Care Affordability Lab @Yale is out with a new assessment of vertical integration in health care. Their findings: 1. Hospital acquisitions of physician practices lead to higher prices and less competition with little evidence of clinical quality improvements. 2. Insurer acquisitions of providers can enable MLR gaming, along with anticompetitive effects 3. Insurer-PBM-pharmacy integration raises rivals’ costs and enables regulatory gaming in Medicare Part D Time to break up the monopolies! cdn.prod.website-files.com/682cf1c625625b…
“Oh, we got rid of PBM spread pricing years ago” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this phrase, but I can tell you that almost every time, it’s wrong. Thanks @iastateauditor for working with us to bring transparency & accountability to Medicaid kmaland.com/news/sand-issu…

I embedded with a community health worker in Fresno, California to tell the story of why CHWs are so valuable to the health care system — and why they're being laid off en masse. I'm very proud of this story and would love if you read it. tinyurl.com/CHWsBusinesswe…

A new 412-page OMB rule would let political appointees veto or cancel federal research grants, and the disparate-impact analysis that shows where HIV concentrates is exactly what it targets.
