www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u... This is a rulemaking failure as much as a policy writing failure. The house failed, the senate failed, HHS failed. All compelled to failure by special interest groups mucking it up for everyone else. The way of health care policy in the United States.

We are heartbroken to share that Dr. Dominique Vervoort has passed away after a long battle with melanoma. He was 31. Co-founder of #InciSioN, architect of early global surgery advocacy, and host of IGSS2018. Dominique helped build the movement many now stand on.

How many EDs out there putting PREOXI trial in to practice by using a BVM with a peep valve + nc for preoxygenation rather than the bipap machine for logistics reasons? anyone just hooking a bipap mask up to a BVM? I love that idea

In addition to the usual proposals — work requirements, spending caps — the House Budget Committee Chair explicitly names more frequent eligibility redeterminations in Medicaid, processes that screen out both ineligible and eligible people from the program.
