  • Beautiful but heartbreaking

    Just listened to your wonderful interview with Dr. Lagu from October 2022. As a med student at Columbia, I keep learning just how much has changed in medical education. I’m sure we’ll have our own problems to overcome, but I can’t think of a single classmate who wouldn’t find these behaviors completely unconscionable.

  • Love the show - very accessible, and great research highlighted!

Will AI Fix Health Care? Robert Wachter Weighs In
Q: How do you recommend other folks in this space reconcile those two attitudes?
Admit that we can't possibly deliver what our society and our patients need without digital help. And that this is the form of digital help that we needed.
Medicaid vs. 340B: A Drug Pricing Clash (Sayeh Nikpay)
Q: And can you briefly just tell us a little bit about what went down there?
Both Medicaid and 340B programs have significantly expanded over the years, driven largely by policy changes and the Affordable Care Act, which increased the number of eligible hospitals and safety net providers.
Medicaid vs. 340B: A Drug Pricing Clash (Sayeh Nikpay)
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about sort of how they were envisioned and maybe who their benefits were intended to flow to?
The Medicaid Drug Rebate program was intended to ensure Medicaid received the best drug prices to save costs for the states and benefit patients, while the 340B program was created to help safety net providers access discounted drugs.
How Oregon’s Hospital Payment Cap Brought Stability Amid Change
Q: Have other states pursued similar pricing caps?
Yes, several states including Colorado, Nevada, and Washington have considered or passed legislation similar to Oregon's.
How Oregon’s Hospital Payment Cap Brought Stability Amid Change
