As reported out of the House E&C Committee, the reconciliation bill would cut the 90% #Medicaid expansion matching rate to 80% for any expansion state that uses its own funding to provide coverage to undocumented immigrants. 14 states + DC do so for kids and smaller number cover others (3/X)

Under the "ICHIA" option enacted in 2009, states can provide #Medicaid and CHIP coverage to certain legal immigrant children and pregnant women. Most states have taken up this option - 38 states for kids and 32 states for pregnant women (2/X): www.kff.org/report-secti...

Thread. 33 of 40 #Medicaid expansion states (+DC) will now face a 10 point cut in their expansion match rate under House GOP reconciliation bill. Latest language penalizes not only states using own funds to cover undocumented kids but also states covering legal immigrant kids/pregnant women (1/x)

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion.

Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates.

What’s “moderate” about that?

Important not to overtest. There is no test for confirming pain.

Families don’t hear what they say, they are looking at our reaction. When we order more tests, we are sending the message that families should worry.

Diagnosis needs a good history & physical exam. Not everyone needs testing.

On the same day that my pediatric practice forms its first-ever Measles Task Force.

Patterns of U.S. Firearm Injury Emergency Department Visits by Month, Day, and Time During 2018 to 2023 | Annals of Internal Medicine Background: Monitoring temporal trends in firearm injury–related emergency department (ED) visits is challenging because traditional surveillance systems lack detailed temporal information. Objective:...

Tell us again that this isn't our lane. 93,022 firearm injury ED visits from 2018–2023 in just 9 states + DC. That’s 1 every 30 minutes. Nighttime, weekends, and holidays saw the most.

For herd immunity against measles, 92-95% of the population must be vaccinated.

As a live vaccine MMR can’t be given to pts who are immune suppressed (including pts receiving chemo/radiation or immunosuppression)

And it’s not effective in newborns.

So if you CAN get it, we REALLY need you to.

Change in Default Prescription Length and Statin Prescribing Behavior This quality improvement study examines the association of changing the default supply for statin prescriptions to 90 days with clinician prescribing behavior.

If you have to take a daily pill to reduce your risk of heart disease, wouldn't it be easier get your meds at the pharmacy 4 days/yr instead of 12?

We made a simple tweak in the default order that made things easier for patients and reduced disparities... 🧵👇#nudge
