"The reality is we should be looking at value to the patient. This policy doesn’t work as smoothly as most states thought they would."

Looks like my twitter was hacked...and not as creatively as the "yam yam yam sweet potato" incident of 2014....please disregard anything not related to health care, cats, or Taylor Swift until I get this sorted out....

Thank you @kathjoyleen ...without your assistance it may have taken me months to realize this.
The potential gene therapy has for rare disease patients is incredible.
"A 2 pt improvement on the North Star is associated with the gain of a function like jumping...a 6 pt improvement is an impressive change 18 mos later."

In his new Forefront article, @HonTonyCoelho from @PIPCpatients discusses how in implementing the Inflation Reduction Act’s drug negotiation provisions, @CMSGov should state it will follow the law + stay true to its commitment to health equity. bit.ly/41M9VMN

"By setting appropriate standards, CMS could push researchers to abandon economic or clinical metrics steeped in stigma in favor of measures that encourage treatments valued by patients and people with disabilities." #ValueOurHealth #BeQALYAware pipcpatients.org/blog/chairm…

THIS👇: Matt Valliere w/ @PRAFund writes about real-world impact of a #QALY mindset - people needing costly care not covered b/c considered "worth less" than non-disabled. Not about $$ but assumes living with disabling conditions is fate worse than death. newsweek.com/brutal-tragic-c…

So impressed by @KhrystalKDavis testimony on #HR3 sharing her deeply personal story of a son with #SMA. Khrystal so clearly represented how complex our debate about health care policy is and why solutions must keep patients at the forefront.

Good read: In Canada, access to vaccines has lagged, just like access to new therapies lags there. Let’s think twice before we look at other countries as a model. We must do better, but grateful the U.S. works toward access & nondiscrimination! ottawacitizen.com/opinion/gr…
