Appreciated this conversation between Dan Gorenstein and @aaronecarroll.bsky.social on the threats to my field of health services and policy research and what we could do better— if we had the funds. (Which we do not.)

What happens if President Trump cuts billions of dollars from research on how to make our health care system work better?

Tradeoffs spoke with Aaron Carroll, the president and CEO of AcademyHealth, about what we could lose by cutting this research.

⚡ KFF’s @ashleykirzinger.bsky.social breaks down KFF polling showing broad public support for extending the enhanced ACA premium tax credits — and what’s likely driving that rare agreement across party lines. #QuickTake https://on.kff.org/4n3Gjox
KFF graphic featuring a quote from Ashley Kirzinger, KFF’s Director of Survey Methodology; Associate Director for Public Opinion and Survey Research. It says, “The debate over these enhanced tax credits can be seen as a proxy for the broader public’s concerns about health care affordability which may be why the public is largely in favor of extending these subsidies – even as overall views of the ACA are still very polarized.”

Thorough and important coverage on Medicaid estate recovery, a policy that continues to be understudied, misunderstood, and deeply harmful to families. Behind every bad policy is somehow always, disturbingly, private equity. Follow up this article with our recent MER paper in @jhppl.bsky.social

NEW: @weparmet.bsky.social and me in @amjpublichealth.bsky.social on last Supreme Ct term & impact on health. TLDR: Major concerns about the Court's politicizing health agencies, dashing protections for marginalized groups, and eroding access to justice.

Our latest poll shows the public’s trust in the CDC continues to slide — and is now at its lowest level since March 2020.

Share who trust the CDC a great deal or a fair amount to provide reliable information on vaccines:
September 2023: 63%
July 2025: 57%
September 2025: 50%
KFF line chart showing rates of U.S. adult trust in the CDC for information on vaccines spanning from September 2023 to September 2025. The chart shows, as of September 2025, the percent of total adults (50%), Democrats (64%), Independents (47%), and Republicans (39%) who have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the CDC to provide reliable information about vaccines.

Following the Trump administration’s recent warning that using acetaminophen — the active ingredient in Tylenol — during pregnancy can increase the risk of autism in children, KFF’s latest poll finds that many people are uncertain what to believe.
KFF stacked bar chart showing the level of belief that U.S. adults, parents, and by partisanship, have in the false claim that Tylenol during pregnancy increases the risk of the child developing autism. The chart shows that many are uncertain if Tylenol use during pregnancy increases the risk of autism; and that most Republicans say it’s probably or definitely true.

Just published in @amjpublichealth.bsky.social: a collective analysis of the power ecosystem that jeopardizes public health and produces inequity, titled “Why Building Power is Key to Protecting Academic Public Health and Advancing Health Equity”
We are angered and disheartened by the lack of progress our fields have made over the last 20 years and dismayed by the dismantling of health equity efforts happening in real time. In response, we are determined to reimagine academic public health and drive social change. We believe public health scholars need to share and build power with communities facing inequities now more than ever.
