@msboyleRM102 @JMUCoE @hearstes Congrats! Our kids are lucky to have you :)

[Nupur Mehta @nupemehta]

Great testimonial, thank you sir!

So glad the New York Times is shining a bright light on the convoluted negotiations that go unchecked between hospitals and payors with patients often holding the bag. There has to be a simpler way? Is there any other industry like this? https://t.co/FqbmmLjXVJ

To the unvaccinated: Delta is ready when you are.

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Vaccines prime your immune system to fight the virus, so you can avoid not just severe illness and death but also the possible debilitating effects of long Covid, which tens of thousands of Americans are suffering from.

@sacjai @scanhealthplan Fantastic! An inspired choice to have Michael Hochman as the leader of this important initiative. Rooting for you and the impact you'll have.

Interesting takes on the OM acquisition of Iora. One interesting assertion is that @CMSGov pause on direct contracting made the acquisition more attractive.

[Christina Farr @chrissyfarr]

Special edition of Second Opinion here. I interviewed the amazing @malayhgandhi about the $2.1B One Medical acquisition of Iora Health.

He answered the all important "why" question & more.

It's so sad that scientists have to even entertain this kind of nonsense. The ingredients of the COVID vaccines are widely available, people.

[Larry Levitt @larry_levitt]

Given the experiences many patients have with the American health care system, it's hard to blame people for being skeptical that COVID-19 vaccines really are free, whether you're insured or uninsured.

https://t.co/nlhTOep9xM A shocking set of graphs. Come on America - the vaccines aren’t political.

This is so great - yes, COVID should be our priority right now, but let's not forget that so much more could be done to actually help people if we could just reduce administrative waste and redeploy it in the right ways (e.g., to reduce health disparities).

[Bob Kocher @bobkocher]

Here are opportunities to reduce healthcare cost that don't require full payment/delivery reform. I hope we can tackle these and Covid at the same time.

@rajpanjabi @POTUS @PMIgov Excellent Raj! Inspired choice and thank you for your dedication to stamping out Malaria.

[Nupur Mehta @nupemehta]

Amen @RanuDhillon you’re totally right and glad to see the lessons learned from global pandemic response applied to the situation in the US.

[Ranu Dhillon @RanuDhillon]

We're deploying vaccines like we do annual flu shots rather than the mass vaccinations done in Africa & Asia where millions are vaccinated in weeks

Years ago, Joe Rhatigan & I studied these campaigns. They offer several lessons that can inform what we need in the US now

Very disappointing though can’t say I’m surprised. Need disproportionate (read: very easy) access to people who have been disproportionately affected and have been historically shut out of the system. Wonder how much of this disparity is vax hesitancy?#umchospitalist

[Nupur Mehta @nupemehta]

@choo_ek You know you’ve made it when...

Congrats!

[Nupur Mehta @nupemehta]

@HillaryClinton Shouldn’t be too hard. Oh wait...

[Nupur Mehta @nupemehta]

Great story @uche_blackstock keep fighting the good fight

[uché blackstock, md @uche_blackstock]

I received this DM today from a stranger. Actually, the person wasn’t a total stranger. They had been my patient last spring during the very beginning of pandemic here in NYC. I’m crying right now and feel honored to be a physician.😭😭😭
