So on the margin, there’s a small chance that a faculty member might see these posts, become aware of a candidate, and ask for the committee to consider them.

I don’t know how other departments work. But in our group, the interviews/flyouts are chosen by a small committee. That means there are a bunch of faculty who aren’t reading packets. If I saw a good health candidate I might take action bc otherwise the committee might not care.

Reining in costs is hard. But (paraphrasing my coauthor Boris) in a world with finite resources where providers have no qualms about prescribing low-value care, policies that discipline the use of care may be necessary.

This great article by Betsy Cliff (tradeoffs.org/2023/10/03/p...) discussed our recent paper about prior auth of drugs.
She makes a point I feel strongly about: PA is not ideal, but the alternatives are 1) cost sharing, which is worse; or 2) do nothing and let premiums explode, which is bad too.
