Merrill Goozner overviews a new study based on a massive claims database, finding that variation in utilization by place accounts for more healthcare spending variation than prices.

It's mostly overutilization, stupid

I saw something today about righteousness, and I thought, "Yeah, no one likes that. I don't like it when evangelicals or libertarians get up on their soapbox." And it dawned on me: that's probably what the Reasonable Right is objecting to re:wokeness. They don't like the Righteous Left either.

I'm having a bad night, and feel that it's better to keep it to myself. But somehow my mind comes back to this talk. It would be nice if I had someone to just sit with through this.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
