If you want a read about the recent anti-constituonal attempt to denaturalize American children from their claim to birthright citizenship using bad history, @evanbernick.bsky.social, @gowder.io, I wrote about it in the Cornell Law Review Online. publications.lawschool.cornell.edu/lawreview/wp...

The Trump administration’s proposed changes to public charge regulations could lead to between 1.3 million and 4 million people in immigrant families disenrolling from Medicaid or CHIP, including 600,000 to 1.8 million citizen children. https://on.kff.org/4pmhzK8

NEW: Despite decades of evidence showing mifepristone is safe, less than half of the public say abortion pills are safe when taken as directed. 1 in 5 say the pills are unsafe, while 4 in 10 aren’t sure. The results are similar among women ages 18-49: https://on.kff.org/44GyYos

For ACOs, the new ACCESS Model from CMS isn’t just another innovation pilot, it’s a strategic participation decision that will start affecting attribution, benchmarks, and competitive positioning over the next several years. A few things that stand out to me as most relevant for ACO leaders:

The Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) continues its positive financial momentum, achieving $2.4 billion in net savings for Medicare in Performance Year (PY) 2024, the eighth consecutive year of success.

People used to say, with great confidence, that variable renewables could never safely provide more than 5% of grid power. That estimate has crept up ever since, though the "great confidence" part never wavers. Anyway, about China ...

That's just a bad take. There's plenty of evidence that adding housing stock, affordable or not, addresses demand in the market leading to lower prices.

The most compelling evidence for value-based care (VBC) is its ability to directly slow costly disease progression and mitigate future financial liability. A new study on Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progression offers powerful financial validation.

I've been trying to get this message, that all AI isn't LLM, across and it really feels like screaming into a void.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved. Don't look up!

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

Medicare Advantage covers over half of eligible Medicare beneficiaries and costs the government more per enrollee than traditional Medicare. Our explainer demystifies how Medicare Advantage plans are paid and summarizes proposals to change the payment system: https://on.kff.org/48kv71k

Research indicates that with UBI, under or unemployed people don't have to take 3 part-time jobs, and are therefore able to focus on a better job search. Results show that UBI is a path to a better job.

A New Orleans nonprofit is training caregivers who take care of dying family members at home. “We’ve gone to a place in our country where we’re so removed from end-of-life care in a way that we didn’t used to be,” says Osha Towers of Compassion & Choices. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

The American framing of health care as a consumer good, something earned or purchased, is a fundamental policy choice that contributes to our chronic financial and outcome failures.

Most home care services are delivered through Medicaid waiver programs. Of the 50 responding states (including D.C.), 44 manage waiver costs through limits on total enrollment (37 states) or total spending (15 states): https://on.kff.org/48so73J

Growing up in Louisville, KY, if you got a degree in mathematics you either became a teacher or got a job with Humana (not true but that's what it felt like). I tried doing something different, a few times, but I needed to pay off my student loans so actuary it became, and I found a way to love it.

Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else? What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?

For four years, I’ve worked across the aisle to end stock trading in Congress.    Today’s hearing on our legislation in the House Administration Committee is a critical step. But the time for action is NOW. It is time for a vote on the House Floor, and for us to get this done!

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
