“I disagree with @CMSGov’s coverage decision to tightly restrict coverage for an entire class of FDA-approved Alzheimer’s drugs. There's a huge disconnect when FDA can approve a drug & CMS will not cover it.” Thank you @RepBarragan for being a leader for all that need #AccessNow.

My latest in @WSJ 👇🏻 "Using Qalys to make coverage or reimbursement decisions violates existing anti-discrimination laws designed to protect people with disabilities."

Disabled lives aren’t worth less, writes @MaryVought. Congress should ban the use of ‘quality-adjusted life years’ in healthcare coverage and insurance reimbursement decisions. on.wsj.com/3lfqOj2

For my first story @latimes, I went to Mexico and got drugs. Specifically, @ConnorASheets and I went to pharmacies, got pills & tested them. Turns out, some are selling oxy & Adderall over the counter – but the pills are actually fentanyl & meth. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Today is the deadline for cancer programs and practices to apply for CMMI's new Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM). In case you missed it, I'm linking my blog post and commentary comparing EOM to its predecessor, the Oncology Care Model. Are you applying? accc-cancer.org/acccbuzz/blog-…


Governors across the political spectrum—in AZ, IL, LA, and RI—have supported similar legislation to expand access to #BiomarkerTesting. But @CAgovernor vetoed this bill, despite unanimous bipartisan support. #CallOnNewsom Read more: accc-cancer.org/acccbuzz/blog-…

#BiomarkerTesting is key to matching patients to targeted therapy that can improve their quality of life & survival. @CAgovernor's veto of #SB912 fails #cancer patients. We stand with @ACSCANCA to #CallOnNewsom. Sign the petition & make your voice heard: bit.ly/3CDG1ka
