Can’t wait to catch up with my people in person!

[Laura Wherry @LaurawherryR]

On my way to ASHEcon, excited to see friends and learn about cool new research! @DrSumedhaGupta @BethMunnich @LauraDague @alicejychen

[Beth Munnich @BethMunnich]

Amazing work, @LaurawherryR! 🎉 Thank you for your service!

ICYMI! On Fri., The White House released the 2025 Economic Report of the President. Kudos to the Council of Economic Advisers on a job well done! I am particularly proud of the lead editor on this one, and of brilliant health economist @LaurawherryR... 1/3

Nice shoutout to the awesome health economist, @j_a_benitez, in this @washingtonpost article!

[Dan Diamond @ddiamond]

Vance’s comments reflects a late-campaign push to recast Trump as a defender of the Affordable Care Act — a move that’s baffled health policy experts and Democrats, who say Vance is trying to rewrite history.

New story with @isaacstanbecker.

This is an excellent overview of the obstacles and policy opportunities for child care/early childhood ed, written by the amazing economist trio @kevinrinz, @chloergibbs, and @aaronsojourner.

[Kevin Rinz @kevinrinz]

Today in @Briefing_Book, @chloergibbs, @aaronsojourner, and I talk about the child care policy landscape (trying a new style of post, let us know what you think!) https://t.co/bJd3nAVorV

@kteltser @citizeness Email me, @citizeness! As a resident of the Commonwealth, I’m happy to help!

@nd_econ I still regret that I never dressed up as the Calvo Fairy in grad school.

[Beth Munnich @BethMunnich]

@AssumeNormality @FriedsonAndrew @smilleralert I think it would be perfect for an MPH class. I’ll be using it in my MBA class. It provides background, intuition, and examples/applications, without the equations.

[Beth Munnich @BethMunnich]

A+ to @FriedsonAndrew for creating this awesome, and much needed, health econ resource! Pre-order yourself a copy now!

[Andrew Friedson @FriedsonAndrew]

Early reviews of the book are now available, including some very kind words from @BethMunnich, @smilleralert, Jim Marton, and Natallia Grey.

@LaurawherryR @spalaniBU @JPubEcon Thank you @LaurawherryR !

[Beth Munnich @BethMunnich]

So thrilled that our paper on occupational regulation and practice patterns in medical care is out at @JPubEcon! Spoiler alert: Medicare relaxed independent practice restrictions for nurse anesthetists; not much changed.
