I am very excited to share the publication of our paper, Modernizing Risk Adjustment in Healthcare. This is an issue that impacts every physician today. www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

An amazing physician who will make an amazing representative for #PA03! We need somebody who will stand up for the right to receive healthcare. #2026Midterms #healthcare

#Breaking: Health secretary RFK Jr. abruptly fires CDC vaccine advisory panel www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

As someone with a child about to enter medical school, I can 100% agree this is a major problem and will leave the profession only to those with the financial means and will further devastate primary care.

A blatant attempt to impose politics on medical care. This is unacceptable. No one will believe any #ACIP recommendations for the next 4 years. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/09/r...

Our hearts go out to those who lost their lives and those terrorized at this UPMC hospital in York. Just horrible. Hospitals need to be secure and safe for patients and staff. www.inquirer.com/wires/ap/yor...

NIH Indirect costs to be capped at 15%. This will destroy most research in America and is economic idiocy. DELAWARE NIH AWARDS FUNDING: $76 M JOBS SUPPORTED: 607 ECONOMIC ACTIVITY SUPPORTED: $ 181 M www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

This will be potentially devastating to research in the US and the careers of many physicians and other researchers. www.science.org/content/arti...

Extremely concerning: The Trump administration has instructed federal health agencies to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts.

Apparently the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed that the USPSTF is unconstitutional and SCOTUS may agree and soon strike down Obamacare requirements that preventive care be covered for free. All because a few zealots believe PrEP promotes homosexuality. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We can’t put this genie back in the bottle. Congress must extend #telehealth flexibilities www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/h...

This time we will know exactly where and why the next #pandemic began. Worrisome trends with #birdflu. A mixture of greed, incompetence, neglect and learning the wrong lessons from COVID. www.inquirer.com/health/bird-...

Nothing too surprising here - IBX will no longer cover drugs like Ozempic when they are prescribed solely for weight loss www.inquirer.com/health/indep...

If Congress does not act to extend current #telehealth flexibilities by the end of the year, millions of patients will lose access they've come to rely on. It's critical this is included in a year-end package! #savetelehealth

Cold day here in Philly. Just relaxing with the cat by the fire.

Hospital at home & Telehealth. Both on the potential chopping block by 12/31 without the passage of bipartisan bills in Congress. #healthcare #CMS

U.S. reports 6 new human cases of H5N1 bird flu. Having allowed this virus to become endemic in dairy cattle, the risk of a reassortment that could result in a more virulent strain of bird flu — better adapted for human spread — will continue to rise as it collides with seasonal flu.
