🎬 That's a wrap on #WHES2026!

On Day 2 at @MorningConsult, we asked what Day 1's new research means for policy. Three panels brought the paper authors together with policy experts to discuss the state of the national healthcare system and how to turn their insights into real-world solutions.

Easily becoming the highlight of the year. These conversations are quite unique and distinct from 1,000+ conferences with endless too short sessions. Each venue have their place, but real understanding of problems and opportunities in a very complicated health ecosystem need serious engagement ~30 engaged humans at a time. Kudos to the academics, policy makers, organizations and young hungry MBA minds for making the 3rd WHES the best yet.

Junket? After 10 years I’m not so sure when the papers presented end up in Econometrica, American Economic Review, Quarterly Journal of Economics, Journal of Public Economics, Journal of Human Resources, Journal of Risk and Insurance plus a bunch of health journals. Publish and Thrive (not perish)!

.@STParente breaks down why healthcare price transparency is pivotal:

“Healthcare is so opaque. If you actually ask somebody: What does it cost to get, say, a hip replacement? It can range all over the place… If people had access to these prices, it would actually work much more like a regular market.”

📄 NEW RESOURCE: New research examines the long-term effects of prescription drug price controls on pharmaceutical innovation. The paper finds that lower expected drug revenues can reduce incentives for R&D, with potential implications for the development of future medicines and patient access to new treatments.
