Our new study just up in @JournalGIM looks at RSV vaccine uptake in MA towns — finding *lower* uptake in communities with *higher* pulmonary risk (e.g. COPD prevalence), & higher uptake in wealthier towns. In other words, not going where it's needed

It is unconscionable that we charge prisoners copays for medical care. New research from @LabCambridge led by Emily Lopez finds that many incarcerated individuals are more likely to go without any medical care in prisons that impose copays.

Emily Lupez & @LabCambridge newly show that 90% of state prison residents were in facilities requiring co-payments for a medical visit. Most co-pays exceeded 1 week’s prison wage. And 42% of respondents in severe psychological distress had not received mental health treatment.

We (@labcambridge) have a new study just up examining how healthcare spending at the state level (1991-2019) in the Medicare and non-Medicare population corresponds with supply (e.g. bed/doctor #) and demand factors (e.g. insurance).

Medical and Educational Indebtedness Among US Health Care Workers. Many health workers likely owe debts to academic medical centers (where they trained or received their own health care, or as the song says “owe my soul to the company store”.). jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
