"On average, older adults on Medicare spent $5,801 out-of-pocket for health care in 2017 — 36% of the average annual Social Security benefit of $16,104"

Imagine: you can spend $56 billion on improving care for older adults. How would you spend it? A relevant question in light of a new Alzheimer's drug that could cost that much annually -- and more. My latest. khn.org/news/article/paying-…

If you don't quite understand what horror the Trump administration inflicted today on transgender and non-binary people seeking medical care and why we're scared, let me tell you a quick story.

not surprising but very important to show this

Compared to pts w/o a #cancer diagnosis, those w/cancer & high-deductible health plans were more like to delay/forgo cancer care
Critical lesson for payers: high cost sharing for cancer care might increase costs & worsen outcomes due to delays.

Rural hospitals are closing. This data is so important. #Cancer patients traveling longer distances are more likely to:
-Face greater cost
-Get admitted to ICU
-Get care at sites w/o oncology care
Great work @GRocqueMD @StephWheelerUNC @MariaPisu1 et al @JCO_ASCO

NEW: On May 19, average out-of-pocket spending for people with employer coverage meets the average deductible. It’s what we call Deductible Relief Day.
Since 2009, deductibles are 150% higher, and people cross this threshold two months later. bit.ly/2W7V7Kk

Removing #costsharing increased primary care #access & did not negatively affect total #costofcare. Patients experienced a lower total healthcare spending trend through decreases in medical #utilization, driven by less use of the ED. @AJMC_Journal @UM_VBID businesswire.com/news/home/2…

Conversations about cost between patients & providers don’t happen enough. As part of a project supported by @RWJF, we built an online resource library of tools to help change this & ensure transparency. Check out the tools at TalkCostofCare.org. #TalkCostofCare
