- USAID cuts
The episode on USAID cuts is superb. Every American with a heart should listen to this first-hand explanation of how the cuts are impacting global health now, with implications for future US health. In surgery, a scalpel is more useful than a buzzsaw.

United States8 months ago - Did anybody bother to read the Oregon paper?

They did not have hypertension, and they had no diabetes. It would’ve been very unlikely that Medicaid would’ve made them healthier. Also note they were only 10% African-Americans.

As we... more

I love the health policy “sensemaking” by way of stories! Very timely discussions. Very authentic stories. And not afraid to touch on the controversial aspects of health policy. One of my fave podcasts of all time!
Apple Podcasts5droxrichUnited Statesa year ago - A must-listen podcast show
Listened to Nicholson's interview and enjoyed that conversation. A good episode for diving deep on the privacy of the patient with the use of AI. Saddened by the news of the girl regarding about her pregnancy. Hope she is doing well now.
