Some health centers just get it right. Brookside Community Health Center in Jamaica Plain is one of them. *And we are recruiting a Medical Director.* Team-based care for immigrant communities. An extraordinary culture. Mission-driven and full of joy. Link to apply below!

New research finds immigration literally saves American lives When more immigrants move into a community, older Americans are less likely to die. 25% increase in immigration = 5,000 fewer American deaths nber.org/papers/w34791 To make America healthier, welcome immigrants

A year ago, a city official reflected on how Brookside Community Health Center shaped his childhood. “I felt like we weren’t just going there for an appointment,” he said. “It felt more like community.” This version of primary care is what I hope we can protect and grow in 2026.

It’s such a joy to be training as a primary care doctor at a community health center where ~70% of patients speak Spanish This is the kind of healthcare access I wish my Latino community had when I was a kid Slowly but surely, we’re going to make this a reality for everyone ✊🏽

🚨Cancer patients have medical debt in collections that lasts for years after diagnosis/treatment despite >95% insurance coverage. After years of analysis, we report in @JAMAOnc on debt, collections, bankruptcy, & credit scores in >74k control-matched patients over 10 years.

Despite high insurance coverage rates, individuals diagnosed with #cancer in Massachusetts experienced increases in medical debt, with those having bladder and colorectal cancer facing additional increases. ja.ma/3UKRUxb @NishantUppal7

I want to emphasize that this is 18,000 avoidable deaths per year *of Medicare enrollees.* They aren't in CBO's "uninsured" count — they're older people and folks with disabilities on Medicare who won't get extra financial help because of a proposed moratorium on a regulation.
Jose Figueroa, MD, MPH@joefigs2

CBO projects that House reconciliation bill will cause 1.38 million low-income Medicare beneficiaries to lose Medicaid coverage. We estimate that this will lead to over 18,000 avoidable deaths/year stemming from loss of LIS. Link to memo led by @PennLDI: bit.ly/4mwfcDA

Between this and accelerating Medicaid work requirements to Dec 2026 (with states permitted to start even sooner), I have to imagine that the increase in uninsured would climb 2-3 million. Maybe more? But it doesn’t sound like the House is planning to wait for a new CBO score.
Matt Fiedler@MattAFiedler

The updated reconciliation language doubles down on the bill’s Marketplace cuts by ending “silver loading” for the 2026 plan year. This would greatly increase many Marketplace enrollees’ premiums, compounding increases due to expiration of enhanced tax credits.

The Medicaid work requirement in the House bill is a lot stricter than work requirements in previous legislation.

Medicare Advantage plans target veterans & justify high reimbursements with offering dental & vision benefits. But we find veterans in MA used these services with the same frequency as veterans in traditional Medicare. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
Jose Figueroa, MD, MPH@joefigs2

Many Vets enrolling in Medicare Advantage get zero care paid by plans. MA insurers argue that vets get extra benefits (vision + dental). But in new @JAMA_current study, we find that this claim is NOT actually the truth. @AdamLBeckman @HarvardChanSPH jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Medicaid is a more cost-effective way to save lives than lots of other things the government pays for, like vehicle inspections or some cancer treatments. More from me + @sangerkatz on a big new Medicaid study: nytimes.com/2025/05/16/hea…

Therefore, the comprehensive CMS payments MA plans get to care for vets (especially those who get little to no medical care paid by MA) are not justified by the “extra” MA supplemental benefits. Urgent need for VA and CMS to fix this inefficiency to tune of $BILLIONS per year

Using national survey data, we find: 1. No significant differences in total utilization or spending of dental & vision services between vets in MA vs TM. 2. MA plans only spend ~$82 per veteran enrollee on dental care and ~$6 more on vision aids than what TM vets get.
