We discuss with Guthrie County Health Service Director Jotham Arber.

Saint Lucia's Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Program is broadening its range of services to improve access to essential healthcare. The expanded package includes enhanced support for chronic diseases, cancer screening, maternal and child health, dental and mental health services, as well as new treatments and diagnostic services. The Ministry of Health says the services have been introduced in phases since 2023, with additional investments in healthcare infrastructure and information systems to better meet the needs of the population.

Private Equity in Primary Care: Just Another Inflationary Business Model? What Does the Data Actually Show, With Yashaswini Singh, PhD (EP528) Private equity has been buying up primary care practices for years, promising the capital that chronically underfunded clinicians badly need. But does the money actually make care better? Yashaswini Singh, PhD, MPA, the Thomas J. and Alice M. Tisch Assistant Professor of Health Services, Policy, and Practice at Brown University, has spent years studying that question — and her newest research, published in Health Affairs and JAMA Health Forum, finds PE-affiliated primary care physicians negotiate prices 8% to 10% higher than independent doctors, while patient outcomes barely budge. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ Why negotiated prices for PE-affiliated primary care physicians run 8% to 10% higher than independent doctors — and why hospital-affiliated physicians still command the highest prices of all ✅ How a national study of roughly 200 PE-acquired primary care practices found a 20% increase in preventive services, including the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit, with no evidence of low-value care ✅ Why "cognitive atrophy" — deskilling from rigid, box-checking visits — isn't inevitable under PE ownership, but why the "best case scenario" often isn't what's actually happening ✅ How opaque common ownership — the same investors owning primary care, GI, orthopedic, and oncology practices — can create hidden referral incentives current data can't detect ✅ Why site-of-care payment arbitrage — a hospital-owned MRI can cost double or triple an independent one — drives referral-machine incentives regardless of who owns the practice ✅ Why PE's promise to reduce fragmentation through consolidation has instead produced physician turnover that undermines the patient-doctor relationship WHY THIS MATTERS Primary care clinicians are chronically underpaid, and private equity promises the capital to fix that. But Dr. Singh's research shows a real tradeoff: costs rise 8% to 10% while quality barely moves. Whether professional capital builds sustainable, whole-person care or becomes, as Stacey puts it, corporate arbitrage in a different Halloween costume depends on realigning payment incentives around outcomes rather than throughput — something no ownership model, PE included, is yet built to do.

A plan's been halted to roll out Rongoa Māori health services to all prisons, including traditional massages. Newstalk ZB can reveal the expected $9 million programme would have offered the traditional Māori health services to prisoners across the country. It included spiritual work and the holistic healing mirimiri massage. ACT's Todd Stephenson told Mike Hosking it shows how woke and out of touch some parts of our public service are, and Corrections should've known better. He says victims of crime would be outraged to know that this kind of money is being spent on these kinds of services for prisoners. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Clare MEP says it "beggars belief" that Ireland's health service is still largely reliant on paper records. A 2024 EU Commission study found that this county has the lowest level of access to electronic health records of any member state. The HSE One Health Record, which will be a single, integrated digital health system, is due to be operational in 2032. Addressing Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill in the European Parliament, Scariff Independent MEP Michael McNamara says we're lagging behind our neighbours.

ER closures and escalating strike action by B.C.'s nurses are just the latest issues for the province's health-care sector. So how can we ensure residents have access to care?

Heart health has become one of the most fear-driven topics in modern medicine. One lab value comes back flagged, and suddenly it feels like a countdown has begun. Many women leave their appointments wondering if they should immediately start medication, completely overhaul their diet, or accept that heart disease is simply part of their family history.That isn't the conversation I want us to have.In this episode, we're taking a completely different approach to cholesterol by asking a question that often gets overlooked: Why is your body raising cholesterol in the first place?Cholesterol isn't simply something to lower. It serves essential functions throughout the body, supporting hormones, brain health, vitamin D production, cell repair, and every single cell membrane. Understanding its purpose changes the way we approach heart health and shifts our focus toward identifying what the body is responding to instead of simply chasing numbers on a lab report.We'll also talk about stewardship, fear-based health decisions, why perfection isn't the goal, and how building strong foundations creates lasting health that extends far beyond cholesterol.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice or discouraged by lab results, this episode will help you see your body through an entirely different lens.Health isn't about living in fear. It's about faithfully stewarding the body God entrusted to you.Resources mentioned in this episode:• Join the Wilderness of Wellness community on Substack• Leave a review if this episode encouraged you• Share this episode with someone who needs hope and a new perspective on heart healthSERVICES & MEMBERSHIPS:AdventurerSubstackCoffee Cafe How to Fix Your Energy Cravings and MoodFirst Steps ClinicBeholdWork With Dr. DanielleFoundational PackageComprehensive PackageAmazon StorefrontFREE RESOURCES:Telegram - The Wilderness CafeDr. Danielle's Root Cause Reset Guide

Robert gives us the 250th July 4th Tick Report, nature's revenge for climate change. This week's report includes a menacing headline from the Boston Globe, There's a terrifying uptick in tick-borne illnesses. We educate our listeners on the dangerous and deadly tick-borne disease, the Powassan virus, which transmits in 15 minutes and can include fever, headache, vomiting and weakness. Severe cases can bring brain inflammation, loss of coordination, difficulty speaking, seizures or lasting neurological damage. Ticks and the current heat wave are climate change induced. We discuss new research saying Wisconsin is 2.9 degrees warmer than 1970. We picked up on a story Battleground Wisconsin covered in June, that Democratic-lead states sued the Trump Regime on Medicaid “medically frail” exemption for work requirements. Now, many states and health policy experts say surprise Trump regime regulations are unworkable. Despite the outcry, crickets from Wisconsin's Department of Health Services. So-called “targeted enforcement” keeps the Trump/Miller assault on rights of immigrants out of national headlines (and politics) but continues under the radar. In recent weeks ICE has amped up operations in Milwaukee arresting many with no criminal records. Masked agents and violent arrests traumatize families in Milwaukee. ICE also is refusing to follow Milwaukee's mask ban for all law enforcement officers. We take a dive into the final Supreme Court decisions before the justices go on their long summer hiatus. While immigrants' rights advocates celebrated the birthright citizenship ruling by the US Supreme Court, it is outrageous that it was a 6-3 decision (really, 5-4 on the constitutional question) and not 9-0. Also, SCOTUS further deregulated big campaign cash (modeled on Wisconsin's law) further elevating the “rights” of the wealthy and well-connected over everyone else. We are joined by Kate Zolandz, an organizer with the National Union of Healthcare Workers, who was fired by the sleazy Rogers Behavioral Health. She tells us about the workers successful organizing drive that has resulted in Rogers firing workers and targeting the licenses of staff fired after union vote. The union has started a new website with more details.

The worthy aims of the NHS's prevention shift include reducing childhood obesity, cutting the prevalence of smoking, and tackling harmful alcohol consumption. But previous Institute for Government work shows that shifting to prevention is incredibly difficult, with successive governments' actions rarely meeting lofty rhetoric. So, one year on from the launch of the 10-year health plan, how much progress has the government made on its prevention goal? This event brought together a panel of experts to discuss the following questions: What has the government done to shift the NHS towards prevention since July 2025? How is the government assessing its own progress on this shift? What would demonstrate success in its eyes by the next election? Where has it made the most progress? Where has progress been slower? What does the NHS bill mean for the prospects of future progress? What are proving to be the particular stumbling blocks to implementation within the department, central government and local systems? What could the government do to push this agenda ahead faster? To explore these questions and more, this event brought together a panel featuring: Dr Zubir Ahmed MP, former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health Innovation and Safety Dr Jennifer Dixon DBE, Chief Executive of the Health Foundation Ravi Gurumurthy, Group Chief Executive Officer at Nesta Ian Walker, Executive Director of Policy, Information and Communications at Cancer Research UK The event was chaired by Stuart Hoddinott, Associate Director at the Institute for Government.

The No Surprises Act was designed to protect patients from unexpected medical bills, but nearly four years after the law took effect, many experts say parts of its implementation aren't working as intended. Insurers, hospitals, physician groups and federal regulators continue to battle over the law's payment dispute process, raising questions about whether one of the nation's most significant health care consumer protection laws is achieving its goals.In this special live episode of Tradeoffs, host Dan Gorenstein moderates a conversation with three leading experts on surprise medical billing, health insurance regulation and federal health policy. They explain how the No Surprises Act was implemented, how litigation has shaped the arbitration process, why providers have won a disproportionate share of payment disputes and what policymakers could do to improve the law.Guests:Zack Cooper, Associate Professor of Public Health and of Economics, Yale University; Director of Health Policy, Tobin Center for Economic Policy; Director, Health Care Affordability Lab at YaleBenjamin Chartock, Assistant Professor of Economics, Bentley UniversityLindsey Murtagh, Senior Fellow in Health Services, Policy and Practice, Brown University School of Public HealthRachel Werner, Executive Director, Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics; Professor of Medicine, Perelman School of Medicine, University of PennsylvaniaLearn more: Read the full reporting and explore additional resources on our website.Want more Tradeoffs?

Dr. Rob Bart is the Chief Medical Information Officer at UPMC, where he is leading one of the largest EHR consolidations in the country- bringing the entire health system onto a single Epic instance. A pediatric intensivist by training, Rob has been a pioneer in the CMIO role for more than two decades, with prior leadership at Cerner and Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. In this episode of DGTL Voices, Rob tells Ed about growing up in Hawaii (his high school classmate happened to become President of the United States), the conversation that pulled him from research into medicine, why clinicians need to keep practicing to keep their credibility, and his case against the endless creation of new C-suite titles every time technology evolves. Plus: the trust framework he uses with his team, why recovering from a wrong decision matters more than being right the first time, and how bike rides through a cemetery near his home keep him grounded.

In this episode of Elevate Eldercare, AgingIN CEO Susan sits down with Otis Woods for a candid and insightful conversation about the evolution of aging services, culture change, and the future of long-term care. Drawing from decades of leadership experience—from supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to directing the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Woods shares how his journey shaped his commitment to person-centered care. Their discussion explores the dramatic growth of assisted living, the ongoing decline in nursing home beds, and the urgent need for clearer regulations. Woods also reflects on the lessons learned during the pandemic, the importance of collaboration between regulators and providers, and the critical role of workforce development in ensuring quality care for older adults. Susan and Otis dive into topics including culture change in eldercare, the Civil Monetary Penalty (CMP) program, transparency in regulation, and the growing influence of private equity and REITs in aging services. This episode is a thoughtful look at where eldercare has been, and where it must go next, to better support frail elders, individuals with disabilities, and the workforce that cares for them.

NHS trade unions have persistently ignored the pernicious effects of this ideology, both on their own members and on the children in their care. This illustration featured in an article on caring for transgender patients in the Royal College of Nursing's magazine. The RCN has been silent on the need to protect the single-sex spaces and rights of its female members. And it has said nothing about the physical and psychological damage being done to young patients by the experimental and often mutilating ‘transgender care‘ they receive in NHS institutions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!
