I was always amazed at MedStar's "Power to Heal" campaign soliciting *employee* donations specifically to support wellbeing programs. "Your wellbeing is important to us, insofar as you will self-fund efforts to support your wellbeing." Ignore the >$700m cash on hand; we need your wages for "kits"

There are tons of great insights along these lines in Rick Rubin's book "The Creative Act" all about his lessons learned in the music industry. The whole time I was like "this is also true of research!"

Eric Roberts and @joefigs.bsky.social led a groundbreaking new study on Medicaid and Medicare, out today in NEJM. I’m lucky to have been a part of it. Medicare saves lives. But is it enough to save lives of the most vulnerable Americans? The study suggests no; Medicaid still matters. (1/11)

A friend (and disgruntled former HHS staffer) just summed up the situation at HHS as best as I've heard so far: "They are just systematically committed to ruining anyone’s ability to understand anything."

RFK is planning to merge ASPE and AHRQ into one "Office of Strategy" at HHS. Unlikely to be good news for AHRQ's research mission. from @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
