Admiring the three (!!) recent positive read-outs of Medicaid care delivery interventions. (Perhaps now is not the time to knee-cap Medicaid innovation?!)

Shout-out to all of the rural health care providers, w/extra gratitude for those who care for my family. #healthcareheroes

If you care about rural #healthequity, you care about #Medicaid. It's doing the work. (And even if you only care about racking up rural votes, you should still care about #Medicaid).

📢Please help spread the word:

I'm no political scientist, so please excuse my naiveté....but perhaps cutting #Medicaid isn't the best political strategy for the Republicans given these demographics? Just sayin'....

Started in 2002 - fun we overlapped!

Love it. I have these same syllabi and was greeted by that same state senator for an “Aims of Public Policy” academic year kickoff address. Ever grateful for my Harris PhD (vintage 2007)

Nerds against infectious disease?! IN! Can’t wait to read the book.

When the public health comms pundits pummel each other on the socials, the best MO for those on the ground is to keep CALM and carry on…..

Link to eval: www.cms.gov/priorities/i.... Gotta get my thread game back - I've been off Twitter/X for 3ish years :)

Rossi's Rules A friend of mine who runs the evaluation division of the U.S. government's Department of Housing and Urban Development once pointed me to a clever 1987 article by sociologist Peter H. Rossi, who disti...

Good day for #medicaid #healthdata peeps. Accountable Health Communities eval dropped, and the results are hopeful.

Hi Donna 😀

I love this piece.

This is the post-election piece that has most resonated with me!

Hoping to rekindle connections w/fellow (health) data nerds #onhere. In that spirit, I offer up a mean reversion haiku "co-produced" w/ChatGPT, taught alongside the Camden Coalition RCT in class last week.

Chef's kiss!

Decided to come back to BlueSky and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. (I've missed you on the socials, @johnmullahy.bsky.social) #dollyrocks cc @drjenndowd.bsky.social

And vice-versa!!

Wow, thanks so much, Sean! Really appreciate the kind words.

Thanks so much, Gregg. High praise coming from you!

EXACTLY! That's our entire *job* as a health policy professionals. Just because he missed the boat doesn't mean the rest of us did. Ugh.

Some of us "public health people" were screaming from the rooftops about policy tradeoffs. (Receipts: thosenerdygirls.org/new-cdc-isol...). Does his intellectual arrogance implicate ALL of us?! Oof - this really stings. (And reminds me why I quit X 🥴)

Thank you! #StillLearningHowToBluesky :)
