As U.S. maternal mortality keeps climbing, a maternity clinic in Berkeley takes a modern approach to pregnancy care. In it’s one-year since launch, Millie Clinic counts a 100% success rate (healthy mothers and babies). See what they do differently: https://t.co/elpseRe8dG

ACA isn’t perfect but it does have many positives, and is popular. Republicans should really focus on improving the law vs trying to repeal it yet again. What upside do they see?

When I was overseeing the Medicare and Medicaid programs, peers in other countries told me they paid 1/10th of the price we paid in the US for insulin. For a product made in the US.

69% of patient out-of-pocket costs in employer health plans are for coinsurance or meeting their deductibles, where what they pay is based on the actual price of care. Price transparency would help, if patients are able to shop around before getting care. https://t.co/Ule0D9I95l

Between the measles outbreak and now this....there must be a clear line between personal beliefs and public health costs & safety. We are going backwards on preventable diseases even though we live in the golden age of new cures.
A child in Oregon contracted tetanus because he wasn't vaccinated — and spent 57 days in the hospital.

A 6 yr old Oregon boy whose parents refused vaccination got the first pediatric case of tetanus in the state in 30 years. Produced lockjaw requiring a tracheostomy and 5 wks on a ventilator. (And the parents still won’t give him any vaccinations.)

The boy was 6 years old and his parents refused to vaccinate him. He developed tetanus and landed in a hospital, the start of a weeks-long, gut-wrenching medical marathon.

To the anti-vaxxers.....feel free to have your beliefs, so long as you're willing to pay for their consequences too. I'd vote for you to pay a public health tax. There is no reason the rest of us should bear the burden of your choices.

Here's some really interesting research from @PennMedicine, showing that there's a big spike in health-related Google searches the week before a patient ends up in the emergency room. https://t.co/W9NrFznRO8

New research from Penn Medicine shows that patients search for health-related terms on Google about three times as frequently as usual in the week before they end up in the emergency room.

Training data is everything in AI, and even more so when applied to healthcare.
"Garbage in, garbage out": AI has the potential to bring unprecedented change in healthcare, but there's a long way before it can provide the unbiased care we dream of, @bobkocher and Zeke Emanuel explain:

Yes!
"In the US, taxpayers spend $140 billion every year supporting research they can’t easily access." Good on the UC system for taking a stand here. The academic publishing racket, particularly around taxpayer-supported research, is appalling.

Better healthcare also means better healthcare behaviors....
.@StanfordMed researchers examined the health records of 347,104 patients with cardiovascular disease. They found that more than a third who had been prescribed statins failed to take them daily—and experienced an increase in mortality as a result.

Agree. While "Medicare for All" might improve access, math doesn't hold on costs. Arguably, a national risk pool could lower premiums. But without lower US drug prices & delivery costs, we may be paying MUCH more...esp. as the population grows in size, sickness, and longevity.
Our nation’s desire for pain-free solutions has turned “Medicare for all” into the most-popular brand in healthcare policy today. Unfortunately, there are no 'magic pills' when it comes to fixing healthcare. https://t.co/xJhntG1CkX via @latimesopinion
