Not a lot of money, but it’s enough to analyze USRDS data (which are free; hint, hint). Ping me if you would like some pro bono support on methodology.

This is a great study linking Medicare data (via USRDS) with Colorado's all-payer claims database to examine how the ACA healthcare exchanges affected insurance choices and health care spending for dialysis patients. #nephsky

CMS nominee Dr. Oz is a strong supporter of Medicare Advantage. And there was good reason to be optimistic. MA companies promised they could improve care, provide extra benefits, & create more patient choice all while reducing costs. Sounds great. But that's not what happened. 1/x

The migration of MedTwitter, along with a large cohort of science journalists, to BlueSky is striking in its scale and rapidity. In a short time, this shift has effectively transformed BlueSky into the essential hub for breaking medical news and vibrant scientific discourse.
