When I hear "value-based care" these days.

If confirmed, RFK Jr. will take the reins at a $1.7 trillion agency that oversees vaccines, medicines, scientific research, public health infrastructure, and the health care plans of millions of Americans. statnews.com/2024/11/14/tru…

DOJ is essentially alleging UnitedHealth rigged the entire bidding process for Amedisys. statnews.com/2024/11/12/doj…

DOJ is officially suing to block UnitedHealth Group's takeover of home health and hospice giant Amedisys. Read from @TaraBannow and me, including link to DOJ's full complaint: statnews.com/2024/11/12/doj…


The health care industry has feasted on the public regardless of who is in the White House. It gobbles up the savings, wages, and tax dollars of patients and workers everywhere. There is no indication that will change now that Trump is back. statnews.com/2024/11/11/tru…

Beyond however Donald Trump might shape U.S. health care, his return could mean an awful lot for the businesses that actually deliver that care: pharma, hospitals, insurers, etc. New from @rachelcohrs @bobjherman @TaraBannow statnews.com/2024/11/11/tru…

With @broderick_timmy, what a Trump-empowered RFK Jr. could do to undermine vaccines, and what he likely can’t. The CDC may be more vulnerable to his influence than the FDA, experts told us. statnews.com/2024/11/08/tru…

"Florida’s difficult 60% threshold for passage is also a tactic advocates anticipate other state legislatures deploying to ward off future [abortion] ballot measures." Read more from @owermohle on the election's post-Roe limit to protect abortion rights. statnews.com/2024/11/05/flo…

Finally, the story you've all been waiting for today: Supreme Court justices appear split on case over $9 billion #hospital payment program statnews.com/2024/11/05/sup… via @statnews


Here's an election day story for you: Sutter Health's wealthy CEO shelled out $50k to support Kamala Harris, the same Kamala Harris who initiated an investigation into Sutter's anticompetitive practices as AG a decade ago. w/ @rachelcohrs: statnews.com/2024/11/05/sut…


This is pretty damn scandalous. statnews.com/2024/11/04/med…

Private Medicare plans collect billions for care veterans are actually getting from VA  "It makes sense why they’re really eager to enroll veterans in their plans because they’re basically not paying for any care for them.” statnews.com/2024/11/04/med… via @statnews


Most health care CEOs are not donating to either presidential campaign. For the few who are, it’s only to Harris. Yet again, Trump remains toxic to health care executives. statnews.com/2024/11/01/pol…

ACA is again in the crosshairs. My conversation with @larry_levitt breaks down the ACA’s track record and what GOP alternatives may look like. tradeoffs.org/2024/10/31/ele…

Trump quickly responds to Harris, saying he "never even thought about" ending the ACA. (As president, Trump fought to repeal ACA via legislation, undo regulations via executive action and nuke it via SCOTUS. Last month he called ACA "lousy" and said "we're going to replace it.")
