S the other night: "Wait, I thought that was a church song" (it [finally] happened!!)
My kids' preferred bedtime songs are a handful of Latter-day Saint hymns and DCFC's "I Will Follow You Into the Dark". I *really* want to be there when they realize the latter isn't in the hymnal.

A week or so ago my 7 year-old showed me I'd been using the TV remote incorrectly—bald-headed, NPR-loving, and bespectacled, it's yet another step in my metamorphosis into the Platonic form of a dad

Today my 7 y.o. broke down in tears when he learned Mom squished Spinner, the spider living in the loft bathroom. Here’s the gravestone my 6 y.o. made to remember him by

Good morning, I think we haven't talked enough yet about that new paper on cost-sharing for drugs in Medicare: tradeoffs.org/2021/02/19/the… The findings are staggering, and we talked about that, but we haven't discussed how clever and creative the methods in the paper are.

Important Update: We aimed to cover 91,000 Idahoans with Medicaid Expansion. Eleven months in, Idaho has now surpassed that number with 94,004 enrolled. Thank you to everyone at IDHW for their hard work and for keeping us updated. #idpol

Can’t wait to have a CMS Admin who understands selection
.@SeemaCMS:"Despite its extraordinary and growing costs,Medicaid rarely produces results worth bragging about.Only about half of adults on Medicaid report that their health-care needs were met all the time, and far too many babies are born prematurely or serious healthconditions"

Alrighty, time for more reflection on being a patient. My short stint @BrighamWomens reminded me of the privileges that make it easier for me to navigate our health care system and hospital than for my patients—and more motivation to make it easier for everyone. 1/n
Well folks, I said goodbye to my appendix tonight. I may ultimately have something more insightful to say about the experience of being a patient at my workplace, but for now just want to say how grateful I am for the amazing staff, clinical and otherwise, @BrighamWomens.
