I make my statement in my personal capacity at 4:30. It frightens me that health policy and health systems are not priorities when we told our leaders we need a fighting CR to keep the ACA afloat. #hspr #hpsr #hpss #shutdown

Democrats are the origami party. All they do is fold.

What do Democrats and oxytocin have in common? Let down.

Dear Statisticians, Survey Methodologists, Data Engineers, Data Scientists, Dashboard Creators, and Other Data Enthusiasts - Your worth is not tied up in just your ability to code or use software. Your worth is not tied up in just your deep expertise in a single area. Your worth is not tied up in just your ability to tell a story. Your worth is not tied up in just the speed you can produce output. Your worth is not tied up in just your ability to automate. Your worth is a product in all of these things along with your ability to be creative, to communicate, to work well with others, to be enthusiastic, to have a desire to grow at all skill levels and stages.

This is from my #hpss colleague and friend, @drjasonbrinkley.bsky.social . I remind you that your value as a human being is not tied to your employment history, your salary, or your organization. #srms #statssky #CDC #HHSStrong #FEDStrong

Errors in new Medicare plan portal mislead seniors on coverage The directory, intended to help older Americans navigate Medicare Advantage open enrollment, produces conflicting responses about which providers are covered by health plans.

Great reporting from @kffhealthnews.org . File this under "waste of time" analysis. I can talk your ear off that #CMS greater "fraud" comes in poor algorithms where preauthorization denials occur. Stop the fraud claims; even the Cato Institute agrees. #hspr #hpss #statssky #Medicaid
