lol I've said it once before and I'll say it again: People don't trust economists because economists don't talk to people.
The only time the public know about what economists are doing is when economic policies are not working. There is very little countering that hence the bad rap.

Economists Are in the Wilderness. Can They Find a Way Back to Influence?
Economists have long helped to shape policy on issues like taxes and health care. But flawed forecasts and arcane language have cost them credibility.

Huge, huge thanks to @shooshan.bsky.social who took on the work of compiling many more health economists than I had yet added to the Starter Pack. So many names I recognize for early health econ Twitter, and so many new voices that I don't but look forward to hearing from.

State regulators know health insurance directories are full of wrong information. They’re doing little to fix it.

State agencies say they’re holding insurers accountable for errors in provider directories. But ProPublica found that the actual actions taken so far do not match the regulators’ rhetoric.
