Doesn’t really answer your question as to why it isn’t better, though. Probably a combination of price setting patterns, general lack of regard for insured people, suspicion of motives, stuff like that. The ACA open season was shortened to discourage people from enrolling, I think.

If I remember correctly, annual open enrollment for employer plans was required for preferential tax treatment purposes. You had to give all relevant employees a chance to know what their options were and time to make choices. There are labor regs, tax regs, maybe HIPAA regs all premised on it.

I hate that you made me snort/laugh out loud with that one.

The Spotlight Is on Medicaid Cuts, But the ACA Marketplaces Could See a One-Third Cut in Enrollment In his latest column, President and CEO Drew Altman shows how proposals contained in the House reconciliation bill could result in a one-third reduction in ACA Marketplace enrollment. “While all eyes ...

Super important and damaging changes could be coming to the ACA marketplace with the new budget being debated right now. This piece does a great job summarizing them. www.kff.org/from-drew-al...

Baby Is Healed With World’s First Personalized Gene-Editing Treatment

This is something that should inspire such hope for our future, but now it is coupled with fear that we may not be able to build on it because of federal retrenchment from supporting research. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/h...

I am very excited to share that my most recent law review article is freely available at this link: ecollections.law.fiu.edu/lawreview/vo...

Thank you for this, super helpful.

She did a TikTok where she read it aloud. Was painful to watch. She is such a smart, formidable and kind woman.

WHO Withdrawal Could Be a Disaster—or an Opportunity Trump’s attempt to leave may clear the way for global health diplomacy.

I found this article to be a really good starting point for looking at the Trump admin executive order about withdrawing from the WHO. foreignpolicy.com/2025/01/23/w...

So excited to use this!

Transgender Minors Unable to Stop Lawmakers' UNC Records Request Transgender minors, their parents, and a doctor challenging North Carolina’s gender-affirming care ban for youths can’t block lawmakers’ request for mental-health records of nonparty adolescents treat...

Have any of my health law friends seen this weird decision out of North Carolina about not protecting trans kids’ medical records from discovery? As reported, it’s bizarre and worrisome, I was wondering if anyone might know what is actually going on with it. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...

That’s so good!

This looks great! May I shamelessly self promote an adjacent article I wrote a few years ago that contexualizes how medical necessity sits within a broader power imbalance? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Adding, I had to go to NYC for a procedure because no one could do it in Columbia SC. And had to wait months.

Pretty much everyone who has to access healthcare has to wait, if they are lucky enough to either have a doctor or find a qualified provider who is taking new patients. I like the data in this set because it is pretty straightforward. assets.ctfassets.net/4f3rgqwzdznj...

That is an awesome article, but I thought I saw someone refer to claims denials as a form of medical violence,that’s the framing that’s blowing my mind right now, so clean and comprehensive. I might have actually made the leap myself, just wanted to be careful I wasn’t short changing someone else.

There’s a framing I’ve seen about too that I think is brilliant, wish I knew who did the original work, where claims denials, etc. are acknowledged as a form of medical violence.

I’m not surprised by the numbers, but once people hear more about private equity, they get really mad. I think it goes to the top of blame for people who know about it.

That’s really scary stuff. Also, her thesis sounds amazing.

Oh, I have one for this! In eighth grade, my social studies teacher wrote this in my report card and my father saved it, gave it back to me when I got my promotion to full professor, ‘Hi, I’m Jacqueline, I fancy myself an intellectual.’

This looks great! Excited to read it.

Thank you so much for putting this together!
