A “free market” for less expensive health services might improve prices, but it would shut a ton of people out of care. People skip even high-value care when it costs a bit more. Esp. low-income folks. Is our goal just low prices or getting the right care to the right people?

This is a false boogeyman. Both Sanders’s and Warren’s proposals allowed supplemental private coverage. Just like the single-payer systems in the U.K., Spain, etc., do. elizabethwarren.com/plans/m4a-tran…

Uhh, so apropos of nothing, my research looks at how declines in health can drive people to the political extremes. Sometimes those extremes are on the far-right. In a forthcoming work, we find it can happen on the left. Here's a helpful review: eurohealthobservatory.who.int/publications/i…

The use of race in clinical risk models is heavily debated. While race-aware models can be more accurate, some are concerned about reinforcing racialized views of medicine. In our paper in @AnnalsofIM, we offer a new perspective on this debate. 🧵👇 annals.org/aim/article/do…

Thanks @AdamLBeckman for this 🧵 One of the concerns with pay for performance is that it can distribute payment according to population characteristics as opposed to quality of care for a given population Should we worry less about this in attempts to "pay for equity"? Well...
