1 week ago | thehealthcareblog.com | Mike Magee

By MIKE MAGEEThis past week, Trump’s posting of himself as The Pope surfaced once again David French’s classic Christmas, 2024, New York Times column titled “Why Are So Many Christians So Cruel?”As I wrote at the time, “French and his wife and three children have experienced the cruelty first hand since he openly expressed his opposition to Donald Trump during the 2016 Presidential campaign.
Medicaid Should be Abolished. But Not Like This!

1 week ago | thehealthcareblog.com | Matthew Holt

By MATTHEW HOLTA long time ago in a different country, there was a landslide election from a population looking for change. And change they got. Americans had been campaigning for national health care since 1917. There had been failures in 1933 and 1946 and 1961. But in 1965 they got it. Sort of. But a weird thing happened in the Congress. Out of the political sausage making came a plan that “Cared” for those over 65. While another plan came out that “Aid”ed the poor.

Welcome to the (U.S. Science) Apocalypse

Health PolicyBy KIM BELLARDI’m starting to feel like I’m beating a dead horse, having already written a couple times recently about the Trump Administration’s attacks on science, but the hits just keep on coming. Last Friday, for example, not only did the Administration’s proposed 2026 budget slash National Science Foundation (NSF) funding by over 50%, but Nature reported that the NSF was ceasing not only making new grants but also paying out on existing grants.
Pope Francis Links to Scalia on Due Process: The Case Made by a Skadden Litigator

3 weeks ago | thehealthcareblog.com | Mike Magee

By MIKE MAGEE The Pope’s passing interrupted an epic battle between Trump and the rest of the civilized world over whether America remains a society “under the law.” Critical to the rule of law is the principle of “Due Process,” as described in not one, but two Amendments to our Constitution.
Fair Warning: There Won’t Be Fair Warnings

3 weeks ago | thehealthcareblog.com | Kim Bellard

By KIM BELLARDPerhaps you are the kind of person who acts as though that the food in the grocery store somehow magically appears, with no supply chain vulnerabilities along the way. You trust that the water that you drink and the air you breathe are just fine, with no worries about what might have gotten into them before getting to you. You figure that the odds of a tornado or a hurricane hitting your location are low, so there’s no need for any early warning systems.

By KIM BELLARDAmidst all the drama last week with tariffs, trade wars, and market upheavals, you may have missed that the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (NSCEB) issued its report: Charting the Future of Biotechnology. Indeed, you may have missed when the Commission was created by Congress in 2022; I know I did. Biotechnology is a big deal and it is going to get much bigger.
We Need to Nationalize to Prevent Fraud

1 month ago | thehealthcareblog.com | Matthew Holt

By MATTHEW HOLTTwo weeks ago I wrote an April Fool’s piece that claimed that Elon Musk and DOGE were going to nationalize American health care to save some money. That piece was half-joking but full-serious. If you look at what Musk is complaining about there are two major areas of “waste, fraud and abuse” in government spending. One is people directly employed by government agencies.
“Health Care” vs. “Healthcare” Signals Change Greater Than Grammar

By MICHAEL MILLENSON“The New Yorker House Style Joins The Internet Age” announced the magazine’s daily newsletter under the byline of Andrew Boynton, whose appropriately old-fashioned title was “Head of Copy.” Among the alterations Boynton acknowledged readers might feel “long overdue,” were “Internet” becoming “internet,” “Web site” consolidating to “website” and “cell phone” becoming “cellphone.” Other quirky spellings (teen-ager, per cent, etc.) were deliberately retained.
Feeling the Pressure

1 month ago | thehealthcareblog.com | Mike Magee

By MIKE MAGEEAfter Trump crashed the markets, citizens worldwide are “feeling the pressure.” But in the spirit of calming us down, let’s consider a story of human cooperation and success from our past. It has been estimated that a medical student learns approximately 15,000 new words during the four years of training. One of those words is sphygmomanometer. the fancy term for a blood pressure monitor.
