The United States, which has all the resources, infrastructure, and historical capacity to maintain measles elimination - is instead bracing to lose its status this coming week. This will be the first time since it gained elimination status 26 years ago.

There is an overwhelming sense that the U.S. will soon lose its hard-won measles elimination status, according to CDC staffers and public health groups at a meeting this week. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…
U.S. set to lose measles-free status thanks to another communicable disease: minsinformation.

U.S. set to lose measles-free status thanks to another communicable disease: minsinformation.

At a meeting this week, CDC staffers and public health groups agreed vaccines must be a major part of containing measles. How will the agency respond under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?

Great quote from David Lewallen at @AAHKS annual meeting: 2000 years ago you got your name in the bible if you raised the cripple and made them walk. Now you get your reimbursement cut because you are doing too many of them.

87% doing more for less. I'd call that a failing model in any other business, in Medicare we just call it a survey

Physician ownership changes the whole equation — scheduling, block time, and what each case is actually worth. The ASC owners who do best usually watch cost per case as closely as volume. — Dr. Jake

So in other words, one has to be insane to go to medical school at this point. As a semi-retired urologist, I truly feel sorry for younger doctors.

Imagine Netflix charging you a monthly subscription, then making you pay again to watch a movie, then sending you another bill three months later because one actor isn’t part of their deal and you owe him separately. That would be RIDICULOUS, right??? Anyway, this is about health insurance.
