This week (Apr29), I am co-convening a Congressional briefing on the huge disparities in payment for surgeries for women and how that leads to really bad outcomes -- lifelong pain, disabilities, and even death. You get what you pay for!

Yesterday I spoke @ industry conf for giving expanded access (EA) to drugs prior to FDA approval (aka "compassionate use"). Politicians have exploited patient desperation by passing a "Right to Try" (RTT) law that also immunizes companies & doctors (who have no liability anyway). My fav slide.

Happy New Year, except for those with big medical bills. For them, the deductible resets so they are essentially uninsured until they spend $1000 or so out of pocket. Crazy way to design health coverage, as I have argued in my book.
