Roses are red, violets are blue,
Let's try out Spoutible, Twitter's leadership is askew!
Moving the health research community, where we can be free,

In this cross-sectional study of 18 top-selling brand name drugs, a new method to account for Medicaid’s best price discount, one component of the total Medicaid discount that is sometimes overlooked by researchers, was demonstrated. https://t.co/FD2LXr4M9e @LisaClemansCope

7/ Effective & compassionate approaches to reducing overdose death & other harms includes community partnerships & attention to social needs. Watching Oregon’s historic drug decriminalization law impact, as treatment funds were just released https://t.co/0xN892Hh1i

1/ Combating fentanyl supply is politically necessary, but research shows it can perpetuate the Iron Law of Prohibition, leading to stronger substitutes & distracting from focus on harm reduction & demand reduction https://t.co/xmPi6WVJnL #sotu2023 @urbaninstitute

6/ But to ensure access to treatment, Medicaid reimbursement for health care providers needs to increase substantially in many states. For opioid use disorder treatment, Medicaid pays 56% of Medicare fees and fees vary more than 4-fold across states https://t.co/VCmQzwXvUY

9/ #HealthEconomics is the most caring, thoughtful and fun group of economists on the planet, and @StaceyMcMorrow was the best of us. Technically excellent, open-minded and fair, always learning, always ready to laugh. She will be so deeply missed.

Heartbroken that my colleague and friend @StaceyMcMorrow, a brilliant health economist, passed away last week https://t.co/lrh1LNNOpq. Thread on our last paper together, out this month, on an idea we had been thinking about and debating over for the past 3 years.

8/ Clear and interpretable disparity estimates are crucial for understanding disparities, setting equity policy agendas, guiding interventions to reduce them, and evaluating progress towards reducing disparities in health care. #RacialDisparities #HealthCare #Equity
