@Bob_Wachter I’d heard about Ian, but not Jim Reason. You’ve beautifully summarized their contributions in brief @Bob_Wachter Both are undoubtedly advising God on how to improve the world if he’d just follow their advice. And they’d be right. @boltyboy @donberwick @healthythinker @bklepper1

Read it here first! @AmerMedicalAssn sells JAMA to #privateequity, @realDonaldTrump #healthcarereform plan covers $100/day of med expenses & post-Musk HHS agency combo known as ABCDEFFF. All wrong - but amusing. #healthpolicy @jrovner @petridishes @politico

Original source material is clear: Abuses by doctors and hospitals led to insurers' clout over coverage. Which doesn’t excuse absues by #healthinsurers or providers. Or violence. @wendellpotter @lowninstitute @KFFHealthNews @ryansolsten

Can't get new @HisenseUSA TV to detect TV channels or soundbar. Much time, tech person couldn't solve. She gives up, says supervisor will call back "today or tomorrow" (!) takes my email & phone. And that's the last I heard. #customerservice

@hkumar747 @BestBuy @bestbuy @GeekSquad is bait&switch. Over 1 hr to get to right rep. New TV won’t work. Won’t come to house w/o charging $300 to take down old Tv and set up new. Can’t talk to local store. Broken promise.

Men, ready for that special finger insertion? Also does breast exams. And you thought #DigitalHealth just meant an app. #prostatehealth #breastexam #MedicalAI

Is the medical establishment ready for #PatientsUseAI as part of #MedicalAI & #DigitalHealth? See: “Medical Journal Webinar Shows Ambivalence On AI, Patient Partnership” #BeLikeLight @BeLikeLight @HugoOC @NEJM_AI @forbes

@PostOpinions @crampell @crampell As a former journal, current wonk, I wrote in my Forbes column that the #healthpolicy issues we saw at the #DNC2024CHICAGO & #RNC are ones to win votes, not what wonks want to see; eg, no one demonstrating about #Medicaid.

Politics drives #healthpolicy, so pay attn to issues invisible at #DNC & #RNC, like #Medicaid, #hospitalprices, #claimsdenials, #medicalerror. Also invisible, big donor influence. I look at @UnitedHealthGrp @OpenSecretsDC @wendellpotter via @forbes

@WSJ says NASA's seeking to standardize time on moon, then make new standard interoperable for all nations sending missions. Who will be interoperable first: the moon or US hospitals? #interoperability #HealthIT @Lygeia @aneeshchopra @Farzad_MD @boltyboy

@jrovner Absolutely right.

d @BretStephen_NYT Libs, moderates don’t see how mainstream conservative media enable Trump. @WSJ editorial 7-22-24 criticizes convention speech tone, ignores untrue election claims. Ditto “Reich” usage. Or’ threats of “civil war.” Post-Jan 6, chilling.
