Uncertainty Over Cost and Access to Future COVID-19 Exposes Flaws in US Drug System (0:30)Guest: Robin Feldman, Arthur J. Goldberg Distinguished Professor of Law, Director of the Center for Innovation at University of California Hastings, Author of "Drugs, Money, & Secret Handshakes: The Unstoppable Growth of Prescription Drug Prices"A vaccine for COVID-19 is currently being tested on humans in Seattle, but it'll be at least a year before it's available publicly. Even then, it's unclear who will be able to afford it. That all depends on how much the drug company that develops the vaccine decides to charge for it and how much of that cost health insurers will cover. You would think that a vaccine like this would be somehow made available to everyone regardless of cost – but that's not how our system works, says Robin Feldman. Emotionally Intelligent Bosses (22:38)Guest: Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, Research Scientist for the Yale Center for Emotional IntelligenceIf you're working from home now, tensions might be high between you, your boss, and other coworkers. Remote working sure makes it easy for miscommunications to happen. But a new study out of Yale University shows that if supervisors recognize and acknowledge high emotions, employees are happier and more creative. And not just when we're all in crisis. Community Theater for Neurodiverse Performers and Audiences (39:26)Guest: Karalyn Joseph, Student at Harvard University, Founder and Director of the Community of Actors Sharing in Theatre (C.A.S.T.).As a high school junior, Karalyn Joseph started a community theater program for people with disabilities. Today, Joseph is a junior at Harvard, studying theater and neuroscience and she continues to direct the C.A.S.T. Theatre group in her Pennsylvania hometown. Apple Seed (50:40)Guest: Sam Payne, Host, The Apple Seed, BYUradioSam Payne waxes nostalgic on one of the best tricks on April Fool's Day. Prosecutors Are Using Rap Lyrics as Evidence in Court (1:03:05)Guest: Erik Nielson, Associate Professor of Liberal Arts, University of RichmondGangsta rap is notoriously violent and vulgar, bragging about killing cops, shooting rivals, assaulting women, and selling drugs. It's perhaps not surprising then, that lyrics like that have been used as evidence in hundreds of court cases charging rappers with crimes.  But that's not what happens to other types of artists – Johnny Cash didn't get charged with murder for singing, “I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.” Nobody called Francis Ford Coppola a mobster because he made “The Godfather” movies. Erik Nielson says using a rapper's lyrics against them in trial is a violation of Free Speech – and it's also racist. Why the Ultra-Rich Are Putting Their Money Into South Dakota (1:20:36)Guest: Oliver Bullough, Contributor to the Guardian, Author of “Moneyland: Why Thieves and Crooks Now Rule the World and How to Take It Back”Time was, the world's super-rich would park their billions in a place like Panama, Switzerland or the Cayman Islands to avoid paying taxes. Today, they're just as likely to send their money to the United States, and South Dakota is leading the way.

In this health care podcast, seven thought leaders talk about the areas of promise they see in health care in 2020. Seven thought leaders include: Kimberly Noel, MD, from Stony Brook Medicine Eric Weaver, from Innovista Health Solutions Suzanne Delbanco, from Catalyst for Payment Reform Sue Schade, from StarBridge Advisors Naomi Fried, from Health Innovation Strategies Joe Grundy, from Grundy Consulting Adrian Rubstein, from Merck Just a couple of comments up front here. I don’t want to further my reputation for dropping major spoilers, however, so I’ll keep this short. Many of the thought leaders today talk about AI in various contexts. Are you rolling your eyes right now? If so, let me remind everyone about the Gartner Hype Cycle. The first step is wild-eyed enthusiasm. The next step in the hype cycle is anger, the old trough of disillusionment. I’d suggest that as far as AI is concerned, we are coming out of that trough and AI—be it artificial intelligence or augmented intelligence or machine learning or deep learning or whatever you choose to call it—it is being used, for reals, for various applications. Other corroborations among our thought leaders include the importance of exalting primary care, in the form of what some may call direct primary care and Zeev Neuwirth calls complex-condition care or condition-specific care—a relationship model, if you will. Another idea that comes up in various ways is the idea of breaking down silos and getting everyone with a stake in patient health to the table and focused on achieving better patient outcomes using all the technology and wherewithal available to us in 2020. By all the stakeholders, I mean going beyond the usual suspects of providers and insurance carriers—meaning employers. Also meaning Pharma, in the sense of Pharma taking the opportunity to collaborate more deeply toward outcomes their medications can potentially confer … IRL with RWE. Today’s episode features the following guests: Kimberly Noel, MD, MPH, is a board-certified, preventive medicine physician.

Class action lawsuits have undergone many changes in recent years as a result of U.S. Supreme Court decisions and changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Episode 2 of our special podcast series marking the 50th anniversary of the first publication of Wright & Miller’s Federal Practice & Procedure discusses those changes as well as the future of class action cases.  Federal Practice & Procedure is one of the most respected and enduring legal treatises.  The treatise has been cited in federal court an astounding 90,000 times, according to Westlaw estimates, and has been cited by the U.S. Supreme Court every year since 1973. In this second episode, Professor Arthur Miller, founding author of the treatise, talks with Professor Mary Kay Kane, Emerita Dean and Chancellor and Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of California-Hastings.  Prof. Kane is also co-author of fourteen volumes of Federal Practice & Procedure, including those that cover class actions. Professors Miller and Kane discuss the evolution of class action lawsuits and the challenges facing the class action system as it tries address new problems such as the opioid crisis.  Thomson Reuters is presenting this special podcast series throughout 2019 featuring Prof. Miller with leading legal scholars and thought leaders as they explore the issues and challenges facing attorneys practicing before the federal judiciary.

“Those who say it cannot be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.” That’s a James Baldwin quote to keep in mind while considering employers ginning up real change in the health care industry. Generally speaking, employers who still don’t believe they could have an impact helping their employees get better health care at lower prices, don’t listen to this podcast. But if they did, I’d suggest this James Baldwin quote is apropos. It’s probably also apropos for providers, carriers, Pharma … anyone who isn’t paying a whole lot of attention to the success of organizations like Catalyst for Payment Reform. Americans, meaning employees, can no longer afford their health care. Deductibles are higher than savings, basically meaning that employees have health plans they can’t even afford to use; and it costs as much as a midsize sedan—a new one every single year. Furthermore, we have employer health care spend chewing up raises. Employers and their CFOs are increasingly in a position where they have to act. It’s no longer an option. I speak today with Suzanne Delbanco, PhD, executive director of Catalyst for Payment Reform. In one of her past lives, Suzanne was the founding CEO of The Leapfrog Group. You can learn more at catalyze.org. In addition, for a curriculum of podcasts to get you up to speed on what’s happening in the employer space, check out this blog post.

Suzanne holds a PhD in public policy from the Goldman School of Public Policy and an MPH from the School of Public Health at the University of California–Berkeley.   02:25 The moment when Suzanne’s colleagues realized Leapfrog was needed. 03:58 Suzanne’s work at Catalyst for Payment Reform vs Leapfrog. 06:48 EP217 with Steve Watson—price points of hospitals and how the data evade us. 08:11 “At the end of the day, it’s very difficult to know if you’re getting good value if you don’t know what you’re paying.” 09:48 “The balance of power varies from market to market and has been changing over time.” 12:00 How employers can ban together to reduce their health care costs. 13:33 Price transparency. 16:04 Elevating the best practice. 16:51 A surprising contract point that everyone needs. 17:30 Getting rid of gag clauses. 19:26 “There’s never going to be 1 solution.” 19:38 Payment reform and what we mean by that. 20:42 Shared savings, shared risk, and bundled payments. 23:06 Today’s tipping point. 24:29 Trading choice for affordability. 26:43 Controlling costs 2 ways. 26:59 “Even if employers were … to … create a narrower network, not necessarily narrow, there’d be huge savings to be had.” 27:16 The limited sight of narrow networks. 27:36 Getting to a narrow network of high-quality, low-cost providers. 30:30 Suzanne’s advice for health care executives. 31:55 “Be prepared to demonstrate value, because employers [will] be asking.”

Joan Williams is a Distinguished Law Professor at the University of California Hastings and Founding Director of the Center for WorkLife Law, which promotes gender and racial equality in the workplace. She’s written extensively on gender and work, including What Works For Women At Work, Reshaping The Work-Family Debate and Unbending Gender: Why Family And Work Conflict and What To Do About It. She and others at Hastings have a new initiative to help reduce bias against women and minorities at work, called Bias Interrupters. In this episode Stew and Joan discuss Joan’s new book, White Working Class: Overcoming Class Cluelessness in America. It is based on a blockbuster article in the Harvard Business Review published days after the presidential election titled What So Many People Don’t’ Get About the U.S. Working Class. They focus on the matter of dignity, an essential aspect of one’s identity that affects all aspects of one’s life. Joan believes the American elite neither understands nor appreciates the working class’s struggle for a prosperous middle class life; a dream that is getting harder and harder to realize. Trump understands the need for good paying jobs for the working class and Joan believes that is why he is now POTUS instead of Hillary. Stew and Joan explore ways the elite and working class can achieve harmony instead of conflict and policy solutions that can help the working class economically. In the second half of the podcast, Stew takes calls from listeners of the radio show who share their perspective about working class dignity.

Can you plan to prevent workplace bias before it starts? In some cases yes, says Joan Williams, the founding director of the Center for WorkLife Law at University of California Hastings. The ABA Journal's Stephanie Francis Ward discusses with Williams tips on how to create what she calls “bias interrupters” to head off potential discrimination.
