1/8 Lets unpack the Labour health briefing document that was published yesterday ⬇️.
#NHS #healthpolicy
2/8 👍There are some promising elements - like an increased focus on staff numbers, a much-needed shift to prevention, and an emphasis on bettering pay and conditions within social care. But….
3/8 ❗️….the briefing reiterates a commitment to private sector delivery, particularly to cut waiting lists. This means further erosion of public provision and privatisation of our healthcare services, and your taxes flowing out of the NHS to boost profits. #NHSPrivatisation
We could write a book about this short article:
1) explaining complex insurance terms— ok good
2) using a healthy white married man with f-t employment and a wife with access to excellent benefits at work as your lead example — wow *lots* to unpack there: nytimes.com/2022/09/30/bus…

3) Array of brokers & financial advisors weighing in as experts.
4) None of the 26yos featured in the article are parents, which is telling.
5) Are we finally witnessing a normalization of ACA marketplace plans as part of ins landscape rather than a new experiment?

A while back my brilliant colleague @jmullig5 and I wrote an article about the “young invincibles” and what it means over decades to build the insurance “system” around a presumed young white healthy male consumer. It’s long been a fraught concept: read.dukeupress.edu/jhppl/article-…
A reflection on one year at @StanfordHP , and a bit of what I have learned over the last year studying US #HealthPolicy at one of the top universities in the world. (And a photo tour.)
During my time here I learned about health policy in the classroom, through my own research, and by being both a patient and resident doctor in one of the most expensive health systems in the world. I have experienced US healthcare from all angles.
1. No health system in the world is perfect. Each system is designed for the outcome that it gets. The USA has the most expensive systems in the world, this means that some people get the absolute best care, others get absolutely no care.
(1/10) ❗️Disclaimer❗️: Not an #intersectionality expert but care about #intersectionality & #healthequity. I want my research to reflect personal values. Below are just some of my musings on this ⬇️
(2/10) In my #epidemiology research, often constrained by what data is available to me...
e.g. forced to conflate #sex & #gender, treat gender as binary construct, collapse #ethnicity into meaningless categories etc. This is not good research! ☠️

@ePatientDave @HealthHats @DrDannySands @lizsalmi @tessajlrichards @BMJPatientEd So much truth - IMO this flip to consumerism WITHOUT full participation of both clinical experts and patient community leaders in creating health literacy resources for humans is root cause of much "I did my own research" nonsense now driving medical misinformation online.
@ePatientDave @HealthHats @DrDannySands @lizsalmi @tessajlrichards @BMJPatientEd What I mean by that is "the academy" (in this instance the @AmerMedicalAssn who I give fish-eye to on the regular over their K St lobbying in service of status quo in US healthcare spend, but I digress) has missed eleventy-million-and-five opportunities to ... /2

Still reflecting on a Grand Rounds presentation by @TaraLaguMD last week on people with disabilities as an unrecognized health disparity population. And how there needs to be systemic change, with attention to detecting, understanding, and reducing. #DisabilityPolicy

She pokes around, makes eyebrows, says let me go look at that X-ray again.
Pokes around some more, pauses for a moment.
“Let’s just leave it alone and watch it.”

I’m de facto happy but also curious about the reasoning. She explains. It makes sense (but not quite enough for me to relate it here).
On my way out I ask her if there’s a billing code for her careful consideration.
Nope. You only get paid if you do stuff.

🔑Takeaways from @Chemonics @USAIDGH @HRH2030Program #HSR2020 Session: How do #healthworker #data & decisions improve #healthsystems #resilience? 🧵(1/n)
#ReimagineHealthSystems
#ReimagineHealthSystems
1⃣ Awareness. Most policymakers are challenged to understand how many #health workers they have, their locations, status & latest qualifications when making #health decisions. These challenges are exacerbated during crises like #COVID19 where real-time data are essential.
2⃣ Self-regulation. Effective human resource information systems are not built overnight. Most resulted through #healthpolicy mandates & required #multisectoral governance & buy-in, including health, IT, education, labor, finance, private sectors, as done in the #Philippines.
Hmm..so have to say, the most misogyny I have encountered is on #MedTwitter mostly from anon account doctors or anti-vaxx.
& tho I repost "The Female Lead" I have rare to no trolls or harassers. I have found @LinkedIn pretty female-friendly, in fact. Rarely get a weird message

My first run in was an all male group of doctors discussing IVF and ridiculing acupuncture as not evidence based but they had fragility to any aspect of IVF itself at all questioned or perceiving even tolerance of acupuncture as "quackery"
My point then was more a people in glass houses should not throw stones. There is a difference between clinical trials existing and #EBM as I know from having been on the payer side where business-minded clinicians' narrative advances ahead of science: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
I don't know who needs to hear this, but providing examples of being nice or supportive to women in your own family does not make on a feminist or pro-woman nor does that make you anti-racist regarding POC or WOC or BIPOC. The "I am a good person" is at the root of much harm.
Okay, I do know who needs to hear this and this was not really a subtweet because the individuals who fit this description do not use Twitter. But there is more than one individual who may or may not need to have some deep reflection on what "I am a good person" says about ego.
This is from Australia. If in these times, as a not BIPOC, certainly as a not Black person in America, you are asking "Are you calling me a racist?!" (when that word not uttered but, yes, #implicitbias exists and racism is a #public health crisis)....

My great-grandfather was given title "Khan Bahadur" (brave). As a judge, a brown man under Colonial rule, he threw the book at a British attorney. "Learn the law" if in his courtroom. Hence my stiff moral backbone

For the most part, asthma, hypertension, and diabetes are inequalities — differences that are a direct result of racism, poverty, disinvestment, and other structural barriers — not “pre-existing conditions.”

The government’s removal of the time modifier is aimed at saving $200 million, which is about half of the #healthcarecuts government is looking for. (1/13) #ABdocs4patients
#Healthpolicy research and basic economics both suggest that the government’s proposal is in the wrong direction. It will not save money; it will damage health. (2/13)
The incentive is toward the short visit, with physicians spending less time with patients. #10minutemedicine (3/13)
“If health economists were in charge of the health system, not a lot would change,” which tells you just about all you need to know about most health economists in the United States. @afrakt ow.ly/bJO030qj6KX
@afrakt More constructively...the responses to this survey's normative questions confirm something that I’ve observed anecdatally: there is a mountainous structural ideological-bias problem in #HealthPolicy.

@afrakt @KosaliSimon @cawley_john The health policy professions skew left, because federal and state health policy skew left; thus the set of individuals who select into these professions skews toward those whose ideas concern *how* government should allocate resources/regulate rather than *whether* it should.

A brief #tweetorial for those curious as to why I spend countless hours on a non-specialty medical organization. The basic premise of the @AmerMedicalAssn House of Delegates is actually simple. #healthpolicy #publichealth #MembersMoveMedicine 1/
It’s a representative democratic body consisting of members of societies from the US states and subspecialties of medicine, convening twice a year as the @AmerMedicalAssn House of Delegates (HoD). The majority of each meeting is spent deliberating policy proposals. #AMAmtg 2/
Any member or organization can bring resolutions with various policy goals to the HoD to be debated and voted on. These go through a multistep vetting process where everyone has the opportunity to speak on and amend these policies under the rules of parliamentary procedure. 3/
