This reminds me when I wanted C-SPAN to add a "watch random video" button to their video library lol

[Margot Sanger-Katz @sangerkatz]

@FloorCharts A+ idea!

Our article on protein junk food has a random protein button you are going to want to push. @larrybuch

[Margot Sanger-Katz @sangerkatz]

Here's a link to our article, which includes photos of protein pasta sauce, protein pudding and protein popcorn, just to name a few foods starting with the letter p.

More analysis like this could help inform debates about surprise billing arbitration.

If insurers or providers change their offers, do outcomes differ? By how much? That would help distinguish competing theories. (If I was an insurer I'd experiment and see what happens)

@swinshi @kevincorinth I wonder how many people struggling to generate $580 in monthly income can afford this strategy or easily borrow the money to execute it.

[Margot Sanger-Katz @sangerkatz]

@swinshi @kevincorinth But you would need enough cash to cover both sides of that bet, right?

I feel vindicated in my long-held position that popcorn is a whole grain. https://t.co/Jgg5nL66le

New exclusive: In his 25 years as an OBGYN, Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas repeatedly sued patients for outstanding medical debt. At least 81 were arrested during their court proceedings. Some had debt from c-sections; others from miscarriages.

So many incredible quotes in this @paulheintz article about bears in Vermont. https://t.co/FD7zGkcxf1 ht @dfriedman33

@MargaretManto Congratulations! Do great things.

@rickpicciocca @sarahkliff This article is comparing NSA arbitration to MLB arbitration.

A stat you don't see every day:
In the past year, US economy has generated MINUS 121,500 non-healthcare jobs! Thus, HC jobs as a % of tot jobs= 11.66%, a new ALL-TIME high

it’s peak Congress that this leaked

[Sarah Kliff @sarahkliff]

Earlier this year, @sangerkatz and I wrote about a chain of autism clinics that were limiting preschoolers' naps to 7 minutes so they could bill more to Medicaid.

Yesterday, Medicaid rolled out new guidance to states that would address this type of billing behavior.

"For hospitals eligible for 340(B) discounts, each Keytruda patient was associated with $102,680 in annual revenue..."

Compared to: $67,825 at non-340B hospitals and $3,094 at physician practices.

@dfriedman33 @sarahkliff Baby steps.

[Margot Sanger-Katz @sangerkatz]

Congress copied baseball's arbitration system when it set up a law to fix surprise medical billing. But it's turned out really differently. @sarahkliff and I went deep on baseball to find out why.
