In @who.int Bulletin, Matthew McCoy, Johan Dellgren, and I argue that more public engagement in health financing decisions won’t inherently lead to more equity. Policymakers should focus instead on substantive policy decisions to drive meaningful progress.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

Reinstating the rule from 2017-2021 "increased the number of maternal & child deaths by about 27,000 per year" and led to an estimated 360,000 new HIV infections
