  • I keep trying to give this a chance,

    ….but I really do wish you were not so blatantly partisan. Balance perspective-wise would be very refreshing and maybe help us be a less divided world. Please.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Government Shutdown: Health Policy Back in the Political Crossfire
Q: So, how long do you think the shutdown will last?
I think it's going to take more pressure from Republican constituents before they develop a message that allows them to say we didn't lose, we won.
Future of Primary Care: Bright or Broken? w/ Troyen Brennan
Q: How realistic is single payer as a remedy considering entrenched interests?
While there is strong opposition from large insurers, many primary care doctors support the idea, suggesting it has potential.
Future of Primary Care: Bright or Broken? w/ Troyen Brennan
Q: What might it take to get to peak primary care as a major talking point for policy makers?
More commitment from the government to shift towards prospective payment systems and the need for innovation in federally qualified health centers.
Future of Primary Care: Bright or Broken? w/ Troyen Brennan
Q: How do you think the movement towards value-based care is actually going right now?
There is support for value-based care from various stakeholders, and there are examples of practices successfully implementing it, even though progress is slow in some areas.
Future of Primary Care: Bright or Broken? w/ Troyen Brennan
Q: How are value-based care and primary care intertwined in your eyes?
They are interconnected as a value-based approach allows primary care doctors to focus on long-term health, rather than a high volume of patient visits.
