The most powerful move to make a difference for democracy in November is to give money now to @votercenter the Voter Participation Center. They target new voters, young adults, unmarried women, and people of color in battleground states. The most effective use of your dollar.


What are the omens, the shadows in my crystal ball in the shape of today's system that tell us that #healthcare is headed for big discontinuities? Part 2. #healthcarefuturist @boltyboy @ASlavitt @THCBstaff thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2019/09/1…


The system is unstable. Opportunities are fountaining out of the coming disruption. The big legacy players in the #healthcare industry are so far looking the other way. Part 1. #healthcarefuturist #healthinsurance @boltyboy @ASlavitt @THCBstaff thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2019/09/1…

Strengthen audits of Medicare Advantage programs? Check for billions in inflated charges? "No!" says the health insurance industry. Because of course! MA is their growth engine, their cash cow! @boltyboy @ASlavitt #healthcarefuturist #healthcare axios.com/the-war-over-m…


What's possible? What's do-able? @ezraklein talks to the 4 top Senate Dems. Very thoughtful. Very real. So they are about: • Start where we are, expand and improve Medicare and Obamacare • Medicare at 50 • a "public option" • vigorous action against costs, especially drugs

Health reform lives or dies in the Senate. So what did key Senate Democrats learn from Obamacare — and what kind of bill will they write next time? I asked Sens. Brown, Stabenow, Warner, and Wyden. There’s more consensus than I expected: vox.com/policy-and-pol…



This is really significant: A vaccine to cure Alzheimers is in stage III clinical trials. If it works it would be the biggest thing to come down the pike in a long time. #healthcarefuturist @boltyboy @ASlavitt wired.co.uk/article/alzhei…


The Rebellion of the Buyers: Who's turning into rebels with a cause? The buyers of healthcare who are finding that they can be shrewd and tactical and stop paying these ridiculous costs. #healthcare #futurist @ASlavitt @ezraklein @statnews @boltyboy imaginewhatif.com/the-rebellion-…

Brilliant takedown. "In reality, Americans don’t like their private health insurance so much as blindly tolerate it." #healthcare #M4A @ASlavitt @boltyboy @thedeductiblestaff latimes.com/business/story…


300,000 more people with coverage! Virginia passed Medicaid expansion last year, started enrolling people last fall. An estimated 400,000 people were eligible. Now 3/4 of them have signed up. Good for them, good for Virginia! #healthcare #medicaid


Single payer advocate @KipSullivan's portrait of a M4A town hall in @thedeductible not only illustrates the political tensions around healthcare reform, it shows how the plans differ—some of them are viable, others not so much. @boltyboy @ASlavitt thedeductible.com/2019/07/29/por…


Maybe. Maybe. Two things, though: 1) Canada may not allow this. They are already suffering a drug shortage. 2) So far all of this President's executive orders to lower the cost of healthcare have been fought to a standstill in the courts. aarp.org/politics-socie…
