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. healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hl… 🧵 1/5

#Milton is an extremely dangerous, life-threatening storm. LEAVE NOW if you are in an evacuation zone; there will not be time to leave on Wednesday. Get help evacuating: floridadisaster.org/disaster-updat…
National Weather Service@NWS

11am EDT #Milton video update. We'll begin with storm surge. A large area of destructive storm surge, with highest inundations of 10 ft or greater, is expected along a portion of the west-central coast of the Florida Peninsula. If you are in the Storm Surge Warning area, this is an extremely life-threatening situation, and you should evacuate today if ordered by local officials. There will likely not be enough time to wait to leave on Wednesday.

This is good progress! Nice to see the new buyers are all local (ish), too. Hospital mergers/acquisitions are always complicated, but stability for MA residents is the number one priority right now.

State leaders said preliminary deals have been reached to keep open six Steward Health Care hospitals in Massachusetts, including a plan for the Healey administration to take control of Steward’s flagship St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center by eminent domain. trib.al/xv55mMI

Nearly 40 people were in the Oval Office as President Biden delivered his address explaining his exit, including his children, grandchildren and top two advisers who deliberated with him as he decided to leave the 2024 race.

Why many nonprofit (wink, wink) hospitals in the U.S. are rolling in money. Legal maneuvering, industry lobbying and lax IRS oversight leave lots of room for “operating surpluses,” by @RosenthalHealth wapo.st/3WiT1EJ via @washingtonpost

Great to see FCC vote 5-0 today to slash prison and jail calling rates. Historically, many voice and video call contracts were awarded to the vendor that offered the highest kickback to the corrections dept. Vendors made these payments by charging those incarcerated astronomical rates. In 2018, phone calls could cost families $1+ per minute. The system was designed to maximize revenue rather than preserve familial connections. With this order, following up on 2022 bipartisan legislation, phone calls will be capped at 7¢ and video calls at 16¢ per minute at most facilities. A few have gone even further and made calls free, recognizing the potential value on behavior both while and after incarceration. We @Arnold_Ventures are funding research to test this theory. Congrats to our grantee @PrisonPolicy that has spearheaded this fight for more than a decade.

I have a new article out in the @projo about the proposed sale of Our Lady of Fatima Hospital and Roger Williams Medical Center in RI. "The sale...doesn’t fit into the nice, clean “mergers and acquisitions are bad” box...What it is is complicated." providencejournal.com/story/opinion/…

@IanDon @AGNeronha Thanks for sharing my piece! I think that's a great third option. It's curious to me that no one else has jumped in the ring thus far though.

It's OK to learn from our experiences. It should not be a partisan issue that we didn't do everything right during the COVID pandemic. The country was literally watching "petri dish science" in real time -- the mistakes, the unknowns, the learning as we go.
Ashish K. Jha@ashishkjha

Watching the hearings with Dr. Tony Fauci today, I'm saddened by what is not happening There are real, substantive issues about how we responded to the pandemic in 2020 How our failures in surveillance and testing meant some of the tools we used were likely too broad and blunt The challenges our country has in getting rapid testing scaled up How we didn't run enough scientific studies quickly enough to both understand airborne transmission and when/how masking might be useful How slow we were to pivot when it was clear that opening up schools was largely safe How we lack any real long-term program and infrastructure for vaccinating adults And so much more! These are not partisan questions. They highlight the challenges our country faced -- some of these issues are better and some of them still need work Because there will be more pandemics And we have to do better in responding to them
