An important theme in our reporting on how Medicaid and ACA cuts are changing the U.S. health system:
Washington is increasingly skeptical of hospitals.
That reality could have major policy implications as hospitals look to blunt the impact of the cuts.

My colleagues and I spent the past few days digging deep into the history of Moderna and Merck's mRNA cancer vaccine.
Read our story, and learn:
-Why this was the breakthrough no one believed in
- Why Moderna’s former CMO Tal Zaks gets credit
-About the “rainbow spaghetti” whiteboard..
-..and a Post-It with the words “Cure cancer”
-Why the first study of the technology was too small
- Why Moderna’s stock went up so much on news of the success
And be in the room with the 8-person team that launched the vaccine effort – and in the hallway when Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel asked Zaks: “Is this thing going to work?”
With @Jasonmmast and @angRchen.

The event came under scrutiny earlier this summer after STAT reported the details of it for the first time.

New cancer treatment options are great — but it can take a frustratingly long time to get access to them, and the problem is getting worse, not better. Via @angRchen @statnews

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING CANCER NEWS! 🚨🚨🚨
Merck $MRK and Moderna $MRNA personalized mRNA cancer vaccine slowed the return of melanoma and its spread to other parts of the body in a Ph3 clinical trial.
No data disclosed yet, but the study was stopped for positive results at the first interim analysis.
Magnitude of benefit TBD, but this is a potentially huge breakthrough for cancer patients and the use of mRNA to treat cancer.

Everyone — including taxpayers — is shouldering a burden created by a health care system that is bleeding employers dry. Public-sector employers and workers are caught in an especially tight economic vise. Their generous health benefits are eroding. statnews.com/2026/08/18/publ…

The small HHS office tasked with protecting clinical research participants’ safety has lost half its employees — through "reductions in force," resignations, or early retirements.

Finally got our first #pancreaticcancer patient onto #daraxonrasib through @RevMedicines @FDAOncology Expanded Access Program. Turned into an unplanned bring-your-daughter-to-work day to get same-day consent to start therapy. Fingers crossed! – at Oakland, CA

Congratulations @ollywainwright on this laugh out loud review of the Obama center.

But I think this center isn't walls of granite. Having visited after ASCO, the pattern and texture of the material looks much more like gneiss

PICI CEO @DrKarenKnudsen joined @statnews' Science vs. Cancer event at ASCO this past weekend, alongside @DrRoyHerbst, Ensign Professor of Medicine and Chief of Medical Oncology and Hematology at @YaleMed and STAT News cancer reporter @angRchen.
The discussion explored key themes from ASCO, including the most significant developments in oncology and what lies ahead for the future of cancer research.
Thank you @statnews for bringing together an insightful conversation and including PICI in the discussion.

To call it granite is also interesting in a made up way. Granite is made by a hunk of once blazing hot magma slowly losing vigor until it freezes deep underground. maybe the feeling that some visitors get from the "obamalisk" judging by this review?
