📢New in @Health_Affairs! PE acquisitions in gastro ⬆️prices by 28% relative to hospitals, driven by a 78%⬆️ in professional fees. As policymakers shift care from $$$ hospital to outpatient settings, PE ownership of outpatient settings can undo policies to promote affordability.

Take a look at one of my favorite findings I’ve had in recent years. We document how Vision Zero — NYC’s major traffic reform policy — reduced traffic injuries among low-income New Yorkers by 25-30%, using nearby counties for comparison. https://t.co/VZQbZEE4as

Physician payment reform is in the air.

So I wanted to share our paper about the Medicare Shared Savings Program.

We find that the MSSP has had virtually no budget impact for CMS.

Also lol that JJ McCarthy knocked all that out before turning 21

He may not be everyone’s top QB prospect, but many teams will fall in love with way he carried himself in the pressure cooker of the last 3 years, the way his teammates followed him, and his athletic potential
