the moral imperative to provide #healthcare as a human right
@TheLancet @Alison_Galvani @YaleSPH @MeaganCFitz @UMCVD @EPI_UF @UF The interactive with this paper is fun. You can play around with all the variables and save the US a trillion dollars a year😉 shift.cidma.us
Also, the #openaccess link to the paper

via @MeaganCFitz, one of the authors
@TheLancet @Alison_Galvani @YaleSPH @MeaganCFitz @UMCVD @EPI_UF @UF It was supposed to cost $15 trillion in the next decade, not save $450 billion/yr.
This unexpected modeling result will undoubtedly be cited by @SenSanders @BernieSanders to support universal #healthcare
#openaccess @TheLancet
Much more work on cost reduction is possible & needed

We need new antibiotics to counter resistance. Now @MITdeptofBE's James Collins,@BarzilayRegina @ItsJonStokes @MIT_CSAIL @WyssInstitue, @broadinstitute & team have trained a
#deeplearning #AI model to help the path of discovery

@MITdeptofBE @BarzilayRegina @ItsJonStokes @MIT_CSAIL @broadinstitute @CellCellPress @AIHealthMIT @CellPressNews When there's any report about an #AI and drug discovery effort, my "go to" is @Dereklowe for perspective.
When he says "So overall, this is an impressive paper," it has gravitas:

@MITdeptofBE @BarzilayRegina @ItsJonStokes @MIT_CSAIL @broadinstitute @CellCellPress @AIHealthMIT @CellPressNews @Dereklowe "The study is remarkable, says Jacob Durrant @LabDurrant ... The team didn’t just identify candidates, but also validated promising molecules in animal tests."
nature.com/articles/d4158… @NatureNews by @JoMarchant May be the best #AI-drug story yet, especially for unmet need.

Improving the prognosis of health care in the USA thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Yale researchers do the numbers on #MedicareForAll: it will save 68,000 lives and $450b PER YEAR.

Where do the savings come from?

* Reduced fees for hospital and clinical services (Medicaid pays up to 74% less than commercial insurers do for the same procedures, and the outcomes are the same)

By now, you've heard about the @thelancet analysis from @yalesph led by @Alison_Galvani with some rather impressive, predictable top-line findings:

#Medicareforall would save:
$458 Billion/year (13%)
68,500 lives/year

But let's dig in. A thread 1/
thelancet.com/journals/lance…
Let's look at the cost estimates first.

They built a model called "single-payer healthcare interactive financing tool" which allows users to toggle between various assumptions about the savings, costs, revenue w/ #MedicareforAll. Check it out:

Savings:
- Reducing Pharmaceutical prices (by negotiating)
- Reducing Hospital prices (by setting them lower)
- Reducing clinical service prices (by setting them lower)
- Reducing overhead (Medicare's overhead is ~2%, private insurance is ~15%)
- Reducing fraud

The Wuhan coronavirus has reached Thailand, and it is now confirmed to be spreading between people. reuters.com/article/us-chi…
"With Chinese New Year approaching on Jan. 25, when many Chinese tourists visit Thailand, the WHO called on Thai authorities, the public and holidaymakers to be on alert." Eerie timing.

Much of the low-carbohydrate diet movement is fraud. A thread. 1/n
The purpose of this thread is not to show that low-carbohydrate diets do not work. Low-carbohydrate diets do work for many people. 2/n
The anti-inflammatory properties of the ketogenic diet are interesting and potentially important, as are the brain effects. We need more research on these, and we should use ketogenic diets when they can be useful. 3/n
