Somehow a year flew by and I finished intern year! I feel like I’ve learned so much yet know absolutely nothing. Anxious (but also excited!) to be a PGY-2, looking forward to working with the new interns soon, and so glad to have my co-interns by my side 💙

Gosh. Look not at the absolute but relative medical costs in low vs high income families. Our wealth transfer healthcare system is especially bad b/c it most harms those who make less. Important data 👇🏻👇🏻

There is a lot of chatter about OOP spending as a financial burden for lower income individuals (it is), but there isnt enough chatter about the burden of rising premiums. This great study by @_sukruth @kejoynt and @rkwadhera puts a spotlight on this issue. 👏👏

In @CircAHA, I discuss value-based payment reform in #cardiology What have learned over the past decade? Where do we go next? And imp. of recognizing that we may need to spend more - not less - to improve health in populations w/ social risk factors. bit.ly/46vr2F4

New in @JAMA_current: We find that CMS's premier bundled payment program has paid-out $1.15B in net bonuses. Reductions in clinical spending have been an order of magnitude less. Maybe it's (past?) time to question the viability of voluntary payment reform.
