in your latest article:
“caregiving duties most often fall on women, as they are more than twice as likely to be caregivers compared to men. Most often, they do not get paid for this, adding to the stat that women’s unpaid labor

And for the healthcare founders out there - working with the

Studies have already shown that training family members to deliver care reduces costs by up to 40% and lowers hospitalization rates by more than 20%. The future of home care is coming &
@oma_care
will be the one to deliver it. 💜

@Oma_Care
(YC W24) helps you get paid for taking care of your loved ones. Family caregivers use Oma's platform to get trained and reimbursed up to $60,000/year for doing what they're already doing.
Congrats on the launch,

Last year, family caregivers in the US provided $600B in unpaid care to their loved ones. We're on a mission to get them trained (for free) & compensated up to $60k/year.
Meet Oma Care.

Last Tuesday, CMS backed the 80-20 wage mandate for its home and community based services (HCBS) - forcing HCBS providers to direct 80% of reimbursement rates to direct care workers (1/5).

Existentialism is set to make a comeback as general purpose AI robots start to free up our time. I wonder what new avenues of meaning will emerge in the age of UBI

Aging at home can extend life expectancy by up to 3+ years compared to aging in a nursing facility. This is the science behind Blue Zones - where multi-generational community-living boosts longevity

This is a great example of a policy with the right intention that will likely have anticompetitive and potentially disastrous consequences to small businesses in practice. I encourage CMS to consider the 2000 comments written by smaller providers (5/5).

It seems like the only players that will benefit from this ruling will be legacy players as we’ll likely see consolidation in the industry from smaller providers going out of business (3/5).

The cost of having a home health aide increased by 10% last year to 75k/year... no wonder family caregivers are filling in the gaps

50% of W24 companies are building in AI and 10% in healthcare. Over the next few decades, at least 50% of the $4.3T American healthcare market will be AI-driven.
I'm excited to see my fellow batch mates be part of that trajectory

But, many DC law firms are saying there is no statutory precedent to the ruling. It’s creating a level of micromanagement between CMS and state Medicaid programs that hasn’t existed before (4/5).

Providers and advocates are vehemently opposed to the ruling - arguing that this will put smaller providers out of business as they lack the technological and scale capabilities to withstand small operating margins (2/5).

@AmericanCancer
just updated their recommendations for lung cancer screening. Now older adults who smoke or formerly smoked (no matter how long ago they quit smoking) should get screened. That's 5M more people annually - though I see potential for even more.

Homeschooling numbers surged by 51% last academic year from 2017-2018 levels. Disruption in the traditional schooling paradigm is evident. The future of education might just be at home.
