My mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was the district attorney of San Francisco. I remember cooking meals for her and taking her to her appointments. I did what I could to make her comfortable. I figured out which clothes were soft enough that they wouldn't irritate her, and told her stories to try and make her laugh. Caregiving is about dignity—not just for the patient, but also for the caregiver. We must lower the costs and ease the burdens faced by our caregivers to make it easier for them to provide care, while pursuing their aspirations. Today, I am announcing a new historic Medicare at Home benefit as part of my plan to help families with caregiving needs and strengthen Medicare for the long-term. Over 67 million people are covered by Medicare, yet many Americans don’t realize that Medicare does not cover long-term services and assistance like home health aides. As a result, many American families face challenging and sometimes impossible choices. My plan will strengthen Medicare to cover home care services and support for seniors. This will include providing care workers with better wages, improving the quality of care for seniors and those with disabilities, and treating our seniors with the dignity they deserve.

One of the biggest abortion fights in the country this November is not in a red state. It's here in New York. When you go to vote, turn over your ballot and on the back vote YES on Proposal 1.

I'm blown away by the fact that most people have moved on from the police failure when my son, his classmates, and teachers were killed at Robb Elementary in Uvalde on May 24'th 2022. 376 officers waited outside for 77 minutes!!! Share this if you haven't moved on!

Next time you’re inclined to blame physician compensation for your healthcare costs, take a pause. This study is relevant to Medicare-related procedures.
Here is a nice schematic from our first @aahks health policy fellowship meeting outlining what everyone is discussing - reimbursements to hospitals have a law factoring in inflationary benefit while physicians do not

This course is really incredibly well done. I would recommend to anyone who wants to maximize their training in palliative medicine, who is not yet ready to do a fellowship.

A beautifully written article about how CPR is misunderstood. It has become so commonplace, despite its poor outcomes. It is a wonder for some, but not many.
Friends, I am so excited to share my first piece for the New Yorker about how we misunderstand and misuse CPR. CPR exists to reverse death. And reversing a death does not always mean restoring a life. newyorker.com/news/the-weeke… @UMass_Medicine @UMassChan
