Thanks to Paul Keckley for putting together a first list of RFK/et.al.'s list of MAHA (Make America Health Again) target initiatives. The scary thing is that many actually make sense, e.g., more price transparency, focus on chronic conditions, MD payment reform.

WSJ -- Hospitals beware: "With the GOP in control...hospitals could face budget cuts and tighter oversight, after a period of benefiting from generous federal spending under President Biden. Much of it comes down to hospitals’ reliance on government insurance programs"

WAPO writes about hospital-at-home (H@H) as if it's something new.

Uber doesn't own cars.
Airbnb doesn't own rooms.
Facebook doesn't create content.

Why do hospitals/health systems continue to consolidate & try to OWN all the pieces of local health care delivery?

Americans go to the doctor 3x per year, vs 16x for South Koreans. How do we explain the difference? cost of care? access? NP alternatives? ??

TEFCA was voluntary, so its success was NOT guaranteed. BUT...with Epic and Oracle adopting it, we're past the tipping point!! #NetworkEffects are kicking in. TEFCA functions as a virtual #platform for sharing data.
