Thank you @RepMarkTakano for the opportunity to share our research (with @joefigs2 and HQO Lab) with @VetAffairsDems
As VA shifts to community care, important to monitor quality of care veterans are receiving.

Sign of a broken US health care system when patients with cancer feel like this:
“I always told myself the stress of dealing with insurance was worse than the cancer.”

In their new Forefront article, @joefigs2, @eric_t_roberts, Jessica Phelan, and Kenton Johnston from @HarvardChanSPH, @PennMedicine, and @WashU discuss how, as CMS sets its agenda under new leadership, there are critical opportunities to develop integrated care models for dual-eligible beneficiaries in non-integrated Medicare Advantage plans and traditional Medicare. One potential strategy, they write, is to consider expanding Medicaid-risk accountability to the flagship value-based payment model in traditional Medicare—the Medicare accountable care organizations. healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377…

The true cost of the reconciliation bill will be measured in lives—over 50,000 per year.
It’s a predictable result when you cut off insurance to people who are old, poor and sick.

What happens when low-income Medicare beneficiaries lose subsidized drug coverage (aka the Part D Low Income Subsidy)?
Unfortunately, they are much more likely to die.
And these deaths are likely preventable .
Our new @NEJM study out today

New @nejm.org study with alarming results: The wealthiest Americans do not live as long as the wealthiest in other countries.
In fact, mortality among the wealthiest Americans appeared to be similar to people in the poorest quartile in parts of
Europe.

How are MA plans recruiting a favorable group of veterans that get most of their care paid by VA and not by MA?
1. Make it cheap to enroll (offer $0 premiums & cash backs)
2. Offer no Part D drug coverage (rare for MA)

Avoidable mortality has worsened for all US states while other high-income countries show improvement.
And while other countries seem to gain health with more spending, US states do not.

Special Needs Plans (SNPs) in Medicare Advantage are all growing — including Chronic Condition SNPs (C-SNPs).
In new @Health_Affairs study, we document their growth — and raise concern about them increasingly going after dual-eligibles.

There’s an emergence of Medicare Advantage plans aggressively enrolling Veterans.
(e.g., “Honor Plan, Patriot Plan”)
Our new @Health_Affairs study highlights why we think this is a troubling trend leading to billions in wasteful federal spending.

We explored if COVID+ hospital admissions to nursing homes early in the pandemic led to COVID outbreaks. Much discussed but never studied!

Feeling heard at work matters. But when do people feel heard (or not)? We conducted interviews with nurses to find out. Two different types of issues:
-->walls (outright dismissal)
-->voids (ideas get lost in the system).
Both can be overcome, but with different tactics
