Thanks @AdamLBeckman for this 🧵

One of the concerns with pay for performance is that it can distribute payment according to population characteristics as opposed to quality of care for a given population

Should we worry less about this in attempts to "pay for equity"?

Well...

[Seth A. Berkowitz @SethABerkowitz]

@JMichaelMcW Agree. I think using disparities as a metric of health equity is unhelpful and often avoids focusing on the specific problems causing poor health. Chapter 2 of the below makes this case in depth (and the the rest of book discusses better approach):

Thanks to Dr. Rak and Po for having me on The Health Feast to talk about using social policy to improve population health!

Great paper led by @sungchul_p showing that despite Medicare Advantage plans being able to offer food benefits and financial protections, MA beneficiaries do no better, and often worse, on measures of food insecurity and financial burdens:

@jdcmedlock But it’s not actually a problem, right? I mean the numbers go up but you can always afford it (I think you’ve posted on this before): https://t.co/rUZbFHbK8T

[Seth A. Berkowitz @SethABerkowitz]

@DaveBrady72 💯! As you’ve shown in “Poverty, not the Poor” and in your work on single parent penalty, and as this great paper from Parolin shows, lack of income support policy is at the root of these outcomes (and focusing on within-US data not all that helpful):

https://t.co/5gWmlClnKs

[Seth A. Berkowitz @SethABerkowitz]

Frustratingly bad analysis about “economic opportunity”. The key reason for poor economic outcomes for so many in the U.S., bad income support policy, goes unmentioned, in favor of using “mobility” policy as an excuse for inequality.
