Say @laura_s_richman and @barakrichman.bsky.social in #HLC2026 in @nusl.bsky.social : look beyond traditional health providers. E.g. CA - team of paramedics. Hot spotting analysis. Where do problems emanate from, how to target that?

New open-access on FirstView: "ERISA and the Failure of Employers to Perform Their Fiduciary Duties: Evidence from a Survey of Health Plan Administrators" by @barakrichman.bsky.social , Amy Monahan, Jeffrey Pfeffer, and Sara Singer. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Angie Moreschi and her team did a terrific job with this. youtu.be/dRhiDXbSau8?...

It’s out! I’m so grateful to have a coauthor who is both a deep thinker and also one who dives into the weeds of a problem. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

How does the changing nature of work and employment shape health outcomes? (events.nationalacademies.org/45002_06-202...)

A review that offers a window into the current moment. And it contains this gem: “No one, I suspect, can fully process the cavalcade of absurdities and atrocities that make up each day’s news cycle. But art can help.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/o...

Some action in Congress on healthcare competition policy? Yes! Some thoughts and opportunities. www.promarket.org/2025/04/03/n...

Great article but omitted two things: Amy is an amazing coauthor and a deeply insightful scholar.

North Carolina is so fortunate to have @rosehoban.bsky.social Really important reporting.

“Taking the law seriously would really require employers, who are spending half the health care dollars in the country, to spend that money in very different ways.” kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Terrific and important article by KHN’s Art Allen. ERISA is designed to facilitate competition, to overcome the costs of intermediaries. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

My first post on Blue Sky! Great news from NC, where Dev Sangvai was just named the next Secretary of DHHS. Dev is an outstanding choice! www.wral.com/story/stein-...
