Bold! I thought increasing payment to PCPs would fix all our problems.

Yes. And wondering if anybody in the single payer movement is absorbing any lessons here

Oh yes. And the peculiar failure to cite any of those prior papers

…but it might work for us

Yes. I don’t think the senders have any appreciation for how much I subliminally hate any politician who allows their name to be used in donation spam. It’s unavoidable even if I like them, rationally. Little by little the spam is hardwiring name-associated revulsion in my reptile brain.

Ma’am, would you like several fiddly tests whose results about 1% of the medical community can interpret correctly followed by *maybe* a surgery or would you like a once a day pill that will probably sort things?

Like, what does it mean when a Medicaid program increases its spending on primary care? Seems critical to know if provider taxes also increased and what if anything is known about their incidence on PCPs. Ditto equity investments accompanied by tax hikes. Etc.

Disgusting. And likely illegal.
