At @nytimes.com Dealbook, it was great to talk about something very important to me: lowering health care costs. I shared my take on the best approach to realizing universal coverage and lower health care costs. I also chatted about my book Eat Your Ice Cream. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/b...

Biohacking is a ruse. People think they’re smarter than evolution when we really should be sticking to what actually works: eat well, move, sleep, connect with people. That beats any biohack. More in “Eat Your Ice Cream” ➡️ wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Democrats won an opening, @zekeemanuel.bsky.social writes. They can use it to cut costs.

Health care subsidies for millions of Americans are set to expire at the end of the year if lawmakers fail to reach a compromise. @zekeemanuel.bsky.social, former Obama White House Health Policy Adviser who was an architect of the Affordable Care act, joins Katy Tur. www.ms.now/katy-tur/wat...

Don’t waste your money on supplements and wellness hacks this #CyberMonday. Instead, pre-order my forthcoming book “Eat Your Ice Cream,” coming out on Jan. 6! www.amazon.com/Eat-Your-Ice...

Thanksgiving can be a wellness trifecta if you do these three things. Good food packed with nutrients, good company and conversation, and a good walk afterward to get some exercise. These simple practices make for a healthy life. More in my forthcoming book, "Eat Your Ice Cream."

In a major new @Lancet Series, researchers argue show how ultra-processed foods are a key driver of the global chronic disease epidemic. As I talk about in my new book, the problem is when these foods become the foundation of your diet, not an occasional bite.

Rule #2 about wellness: It’s not about perfection. Building a healthy lifestyle means creating habits you can live with every day, not chasing impossible standards. More in my new book "Eat Your Ice Cream.” www.amazon.com/Eat-Your-Ice...

Rule #1 about wellness: don’t sweat the small stuff. Too many people obsess over minor changes that will not have a real impact on long-term health and wellness. I discuss this in my forthcoming book “Eat Your Ice Cream.” Pre-order it here: www.amazon.com/Eat-Your-Ice...

A breast cancer diagnosis can cost $80k in scans, surgery, chemo, and pathology within just a few months. Trump’s proposed ACA reforms wouldn’t come close to helping people cover that. More of my thoughts on @meetthepress.com ⬇️ www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

Who gets to be a doctor in America is about to change. Trump’s new federal student loan caps will push lower-income students out of medicine and make the physician shortage worse. As I have argued for years, it's time to shorten medical school to three years. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/o...

I'm 67 years old and I just joined TikTok. Here's why. As public health leaders, we must adapt to meet the audiences where they are. On the CareTalk podcast, John Driscoll and I discuss the challenges facing public health communication today.

We spend $1.5 trillion more on healthcare than any other country—and still leave millions uninsured. The ACA was a critical step forward, but it was not a finished product. I spoke with @NPR about the past, present, and what still needs fixing. www.npr.org/2025/10/30/n...

Your doctor can't read your mind, but they can save your life if you ask the right questions and provide the right information. Read more of the no frills advice I offered @meghanrabbitt.bsky.social in @mariashriver.bsky.social's Sunday Paper. www.mariashriversundaypaper.com/be-healthy-5...

Dr. Peter Attia exercises 10 or more hours per week in the hope—with no proof—that it will actually add more years to your life than exercising 2 to 3 hours per week. If you want science-based wellness tips, pre-order my book. Link in thread.

50,000 Americans could die from Medicaid and ACA coverage losses. When costs spike like this, healthier enrollees drop coverage, which drives costs even higher. I joined @yahoofinance.com to discuss what's at stake with ACA subsidy renewal.

RFK Jr.'s claim that vaccines didn't save lives, sanitation did, is half right—and dangerously wrong. While sanitation helped in the early 20th century, vaccines saved millions of lives in the later 20th century and reduced severe impairments like brain damage. More in @statnews.com

Stop popping supplements. Start eating food. Ashwin Rodrigues’s piece in the @nytimes.com alarmingly reports that Americans are taking more supplements than ever before and it can hurt – rather than help – our overall health. Here's what actually works: eating real food.

My students at the University of Pennsylvania are brilliant, but they couldn't fully focus in class. That's why I banned all technology in my classroom. No online shopping, no Instagram, no email, no internet. The results speak for themselves. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkUh...

Join us on Oct. 14, 14:00-15:00 in Alrek, @unibergen.bsky.social, for a talk with @zekeemanuel.bsky.social (@upenn.edu)on #disinformation and #trust in #science in the U.S. and beyond. Sign up here: alrekhelseklynge.no/arrangemente... #sciencecommunication #trustinscience #Health #ethics

Public health requires investing today to protect people tomorrow. As I shared on @vox.com, we're already seeing the damage caused by the Trump admin: Rising vaccine skepticism and preventable outbreaks. The Texas measles deaths are just the beginning. www.vox.com/today-explai...

Read this op-ed in the @bostonglobe.com by LDI Fellow @zekeemanuel.bsky.social. ⤵️

In a new ‪@nytopinion.nytimes.com‬ essay, Team Scientist @zekeemanuel.bsky.social draws from behavioral science and his own teaching experience to argue that removing phones from classrooms can make students more focused and classes more effective. https://nyti.ms/4myDcW3

As a professor, I'd give MAHA a "C." Success: spotlighting phones' harm to kids, chronic illness/food connections. Problems: vaccine skepticism (2 children died from measles), questionable supplements, and little real action on healthy food subsidies. My thoughts in @thefp.com ⬇️

RFK is turning the CDC into an ideological rubber stamp of the Trump admin. Congress must use their oversight power to restore qualified leadership and adequate funding to the CDC. Our children's health and our scientific credibility depend on it. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/04/o...

Because of Florida's decision to phase out childhood vaccine mandates, many will die of preventable diseases like measles, chickenpox, tetanus, and diphtheria. This is regressive, bringing us back to the early 1950s when parents had to worry that their kids might die from diseases like polio.

There's a deadly condition killing Americans: healthcare churn. 15-20% of Americans lose coverage yearly due to job changes. Insurers won't invest in prevention if patients will switch next year. I explain how to fix this crisis in @statnews.com. #MAHA #ACA www.statnews.com/2025/09/03/h...

New in @bmj.com Global Health: four fallacies that undermined COVID/mpox resource allocation, and the solutions we need now. With $700M+ in vaccine contracts cancelled, we must avoid repeating past mistakes in the next pandemic. gh.bmj.com/content/10/8...

My students gave me the best reviews in 13 years, but I didn't change my teaching. I just banned phones and laptops from my class. In the @nytimes.com, I explain how this approach made students more engaged with my class: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/o...

The Zeke Bar won Bronze at the International Chocolate Awards! Finally, an award that rewards not my mind, but my taste (and an honor that maybe my grandkids will care about). Thanks for the incredible partnership, Askinosie Chocolate! Next batch coming mid-fall 2025. askinosie.com/products/the...

When patients get better provider info from Google than their own insurers, the system is broken. Great to see CMS exploring a national provider directory. This is the kind of admin streamlining we need to reduce costs without compromising care. www.modernhealthcare.com/politics-reg...

Did you know a hip replacement could cost you $20K or $98K in the same city? In a new @nejm.org Catalyst study focused on physician intervention, we found that even modest referral changes can result in huge cost savings. catalyst.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" just exempted critical treatments like Keytruda, which made Merck over $29B in 2024, from Medicare negotiations. This will cost the govt billions. If you believe in the "art of the deal," why not negotiate the best deal for cancer patients? www.wsj.com/health/pharm...

Social connectedness is critical to our health and well-being. I was reminded of this during an unexpectedly wonderful DMV experience (I know, impossible!). The clerk was friendly, asked about my day, and even restarted my process when I missed a section. We could all use more of this!

When you truly care about the future of American healthcare, you pick up the phone when duty calls – no matter what. My thoughts about how we can create a more efficient system that works for everyone on the @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/inside-tru...

Analysis by @zekeemanuel.bsky.social argues that middle-income countries with high death tolls were treated most inequitably, not low-income nations. Ethics demands more than equal shares—it demands vaccines go where they save the most lives. Read the essay: ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2...

LDI Fellow @zekeemanuel.bsky.social believes Democrats must fundamentally fix Medicaid, not merely repair Trump-era policies. He proposes seven changes to Medicaid to improve the program and deliver quality health care to more Americans. Read more: ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/res...

If we're serious about prevention and better chronic disease management, we need to fundamentally change how we pay primary care physicians: higher pay and bonuses tied to outcomes like ensuring diabetes is well-managed.

Trump's bill could strip Medicaid from 12 million Americans. Repeal isn't enough. Democrats must use this opportunity to propose bold reforms that truly fix Medicaid’s core problems. In @thebulwark.com, I share how to build a system that actually works: www.thebulwark.com/p/democrats-...

The US spends more than other countries on health care AND has worse outcomes. One clear opportunity to lower spending without compromising patient care: reducing admin costs. Our recommendations to improve the data and identify savings ⬇️

All of this was avoidable. When we choose not to vaccinate with this safe, very effective vaccine, there will be more measles, more hospitalizations, more suffering – and tragically, people will die.

One of America's most overlooked problems: healthcare churn. 20% of Americans change insurance plans yearly, and insurers are disincentivized to invest in preventative care. I discussed this on @planetmoney.bsky.social.

Surprising finding: When private equity acquires ophthalmology practices, they actually shift toward Medicare patients and away from higher-paying commercial insurance - the opposite of what we expected. New research in @jamanetworkopen.bsky.social: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
