American health care is totally dysfunctional. And everyone knows it. But what people are willing to give up is *the* fundamental question of the U.S. health care system.
New from @zekeemanuel.bsky.social:
Hey you, yes you: if you want healthcare in America, you have to give *something* up. So what'll it be?
ICYMI @zekeemanuel.bsky.social:
What are you willing to sacrifice for a much better—if not the best—American health care system?
To make the best health care system, everyone needs to give up something. In @thebulwark.com, I offer a few suggestions.
“Eat Your Ice Cream” is the name of my book. Not only is it catchy–it’s true! It’s good for you AND it makes you happy. Need I say more?

Join me at the Wende Museum in Culver City tonight, as I discuss my book, “Eat Your Ice Cream” and how to cut through the noise of the wellness industry. Thank you to Village Well Books and Coffee for hosting me. RSVP at the link below (it’s free).
Wellness fads like supplements may be popular in California, but they don't actually work when it comes to aging well.
Research shows that smartphones reduce cognitive capacity even when they're turned off and face-down, and handwritten notes drive increased retention. Fellow teachers and professors: will you be next to try the experiment? Links to both @theatlantic.com and my @nytimes.com piece below.
7th graders in Colorado and Penn students have more in common than you might think. Both perform better in a classroom without technology use.
I banned phones and laptops from my Penn classroom. A Colorado teacher banned Chromebooks. We both saw a better environment for learning.
CMS fixed it for 2026. But in Health Affairs, my co-authors and I write how that fraudulent spike is now being embedded into Medicare Advantage payment rates for 2027.

Medicare spending on skin substitute bandages rose nearly 40-fold between 2019 and 2024.
Not because of an epidemic, but because of a documented billing scandal.
Tanning beds are dreadful, and RFK Jr.’s recent move allows children to use them.
As I write in “Eat Your Ice Cream,” tanning beds are one of the schmuck-iest things you can do. Good health decisions are simple ones. More on this in @jonathancohn.bsky.social’s @thebulwark.com piece below.
Frequent @solomonctryls.bsky.social speaker and collaborator @zekeemanuel.bsky.social joined the Health Affairs “A Health Podyssey” podcast to discuss his new book on how to lead a longer and healthier life. Listen to the full episode today! www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/h...
Everyone agrees that the American health care system is failing.
One step on the path to improving health care is site-neutral payments. Surgeries and treatment should cost the same regardless of where they’re performed.
Great to discuss ways we can reform health care with Knowledge at Wharton.
I sat down with Jean Chatzky on Her Money to discuss "Eat Your Ice Cream" and why our fixation on longevity distracts us from what actually makes life worth living.
The goal shouldn't be more years. It should be better ones.
Obsessing over your sleep tracker, step count, or protein intake?
It's probably not adding a second to your life, and it's definitely making you more anxious.
My @nytimes.com Bestseller “Eat Your Ice Cream” is now available as an audiobook, narrated by yours truly.
Whether you're commuting, cooking, or getting in a walk (Rule #5: Move It!), this is 6 hours and 50 minutes well spent.
🎧 Available everywhere now.

Science says that when we gather, cheer, and connect to root for our team, it’s actually good for our health as it increases social connection. As I wrote in “Eat Your Ice Cream,” social connection is one of the most powerful predictors of a long and healthy life.
The Penn Quakers are in @marchmadnesswbb.bsky.social! Can March Madness be good for your health?
Doctors need to take on fewer patients. To reinvent health care in America, we need to decrease the patient load on primary care doctors.
Great to chat with Lucy McBride about “Eat Your Ice Cream,” her upcoming book “Beyond the Prescription,” and my bullish take on AI.
