📢 Happy to announce that tomorrow I begin my new role as the Deputy Director of Social Policy at the @NiskanenCenter, working with @JoshuaTMcCabe. I'm very excited to learn as much as I can about the team and work with this amazing group of people!
We are proud to support the bipartisan Stronger Start for Working Families Act from @SenatorHassan and @SenToddYoung, which would make important improvements to the child tax credit to help working class families struggling to make ends meet. 👨👩👧👧 hassan.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
Super excited to share my first ever peer-reviewed publication! My colleague Sage Mehta and I are in INQUIRY, where we find that instituting site-neutral payments in Medicare would save certain cancer patients over $1,000 in their first year of treatment. 🧵
NEW: No piece from myself today (🤒) but we have our FIRST ever guest post from the one of the brightest minds in housing, @AWJustus via @NiskanenCenter on how preapproved building plans are cutting soft costs by $10k+ per project and making infill housing financially viable.
NEXT WEEK: Excited to talk with Jonathan Wolfson, Rep. @TomOliverson, and @dr_shaps about all things International physician licensing. In the last 5 years, over a third of states have passed new pathways to practice. Now they must implement them, and we have ideas. RSVP below.
How can states improve Unemployment Insurance eligibility verification to reduce improper payments? Join us on September 30th at 3pm for an insightful discussion with an all-star lineup of panelists. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
NEW: CMS is proposing notable changes to Medicare reimbursement. This weekend, public comments close on the proposed rules and we have thoughts! The TLDR: CMS wants to shift spending towards non-hospital settings, a much-needed change to combat healthcare market distortions.
My colleague @NicholsonSoc wrote about Connecticut's recent reforms and its lessons for New England neighbors here: niskanencenter.org/connecticut-la…
This is a common concern about streamlined licensing pathways for international docs. But all the states passing these laws have thorough supervision and experience requirements prior to granting full licensure. We don't need to compromise quality to fix the physician shortage:
Extremely disturbing trend is allowing physicians trained overseas to practice in the US wo American training. Medical Education overseas is NOT of the same quality as that in the US. Patients will suffer.
➡️ If California’s rental prices matched the national average, its poverty rate would fall from the highest in the nation to near the U.S. average.
This has been in the works for a few months now. We're very excited to finally share this piece from @ZParolin. Check out the full report to see how high housing prices contribute to poverty and what we can do to address the problem.
New report by @ZParolin: Housing costs, especially in high-cost states like California, are a massive driver of poverty. A few of Zach's key findings ⬇️ 🧵

The @NiskanenCenter has been at the forefront of analyzing ways to do this! One way is through the Build More Housing Near Transit Act! We urge members of Congress to support this legislation, & we stand ready to work to address this crucial need! niskanencenter.org/build-more-hou…

While working in NC‘s 1st Congressional District, despite being in opposing parties, we often had the opportunity to work with @SenThomTillis! He and his staffers will go down as some of the most hard-working public servants in North Carolina history. Godspeed, Senator!
🚨: The @NiskanenCenter’s new commentary—written by @lawsonhmansell—explores the new alarming data surrounding the No Surprises Act arbitration process!!
NEW: We analyzed the most recent data drop from CMS showing how the No Surprises Act arbitration process is unfolding. In short: It's growing healthcare waste. Providers are extracting HIGHER rates than before the bill was passed and program costs now exceed $1 billion! (🧵)

Finally they just come out and say it. I couldn’t disagree more with this framing. If you don’t think our funding structures and program design have contributed to poor health outcomes… You are just ignoring so, so much evidence to the contrary.
We don’t have a healthcare policy problem. We have a poisoning problem. Europe doesn’t have better healthcare policy than us. Their cells are just less poisoned. We need to fix that, and it happens outside of the doctor’s office.
RIGHT NOW in 1944, this is the scene in Normandy. The liberation of France is underway #DDay
NEW: The House reconciliation bill finds healthcare savings in the wrong places. Many Medicaid beneficiaries will unnecessarily lose coverage due to administrative burden and small, rural hospitals will be hit with higher uncompensated care costs as a result.
A new bipartisan bill would require private insurers to fully cover the cost of childbirth with no co-pays or deductibles. Average out-of-pocket costs today is nearly $3,000. It’s a big deal, with an unusual origin story, and backed by an even more unusual alliance of orgs 🧵
