American Hero: Dr. Sidney Wolfe

Few people in American history have saved more lives than Dr. Sidney Wolfe. Dr. Wolfe and his small staff at the Health Research Group of Public Citizen have taken on Big Pharma and the FDA to pull over two dozen dangerous drugs and countless hazardous medical devices off the market, not to mention putting numerous incompetent doctors out of business. Over the course of his storied career, Sid worked relentlessly for workplace safety and with his best-selling book and subsequent newsletter Worst Pills/Best Pills, provided the American people with the most reliable, up-to-date, evidence-based, easy-to-read guide to pharmaceuticals ever compiled. Today we pay tribute to the man who invented the concept of the “public interest doctor.”Dr. Steffie Woolhandler is a co-founder of Physicians for a National Health Program, which is a non-profit research and education organization that advocates for single-payer national health insurance. Dr. Woolhandler is a practicing primary care physician, distinguished professor of public health and health policy in the City University of New York (CUNY) School of Public Health, an adjunct professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and lecturer in medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Woolhandler has authored more than 150 journal articles, reviews, chapters, and books on health policy.Dr. David Himmelstein is a co-founder of Physicians for a National Health Program. Dr. Himmelstein is a practicing primary care physician, distinguished professor of public health at the City University of New York, a lecturer at Harvard Medical School, and a His more than 150 peer reviewed studies include widely-cited articles appearing in the New England Journal, Annals of Internal Medicine, JAMA, Health Affairs and the American Journal of Public Health on the excess death rate among the uninsured, medical bankruptcy, health care administrative costs, insurance firms' misbehaviors, and dangerous medications.For over 50 years, Dr. Sidney Wolfe—who directed Public Citizen's Health Research Group—has been what I would call the doctor's doctor. Stressing the prevention of trauma and sickness, stressing accountability for gouging and unsafe practices by the drug companies, and pushing for effective regulation by the Food and Drug Administration and the Occupational Safety and Health Agency.Ralph NaderI think that Dr. Sid Wolfe had that emotional intelligence that went with his cognitive intelligence, which makes all the difference in terms of whether someone just knows something and bewails it, or someone just knows something and connects it to action that saves people's lives and prevents injuries.Ralph NaderDr. Sid Wolfe was insistent that those who sell drugs and profit from drugs have to prove that the drug is actually safe, that the harms do not outweigh the benefits. And for many, many drugs on the market in the United States, Sid and others found out that the harms were much greater than the benefits. In identifying literally dozens of drugs that were unsafe, that should not be used, Sid has saved hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of lives of Americans who were threatened by unsafe drugs.Dr. Steffie WoolhandlerDr. Sid Wolfe was meticulous about the truth. Sid insisted that you couldn't overstate what you didn't know, that the most important responsibility of doctors was to be honest with the patients, with the public, with the government about what we know and what we don't know—and often what we don't know is critically important. He never stretched the truth. That was important, not just because others were watching and trying to find flaws in what he did, but it was inherent in Sid's character that he cared about telling the truth and about doing what was right.Dr. David HimmelsteinRobert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the President of Public Citizen, Weissman has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations and the wealthy have over our democracy.Outrage may have been Sid's catchphrase, because he saw so much outrageousness in the health field. Precisely because he knew that things were being put on the market that shouldn't be, or services were being withheld from people that shouldn't be— not because of any lack of information, but because of the improper influence and political power and economic power of Big Pharma and the for-profit health insurance industry. And he was outraged about that. Because he understood it rightfully as a matter of life and death.Robert WeissmanDr. Peter Lurie is President and Executive Director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest—an independent, science-based consumer advocacy organization that advocates for a safer, healthier food system. The CSPI also publishes NutritionAction, a healthy-living guide for consumers. Dr. Lurie previously worked with the Food and Drug Administration and Public Citizen's Health Research Group, where he co-authored their Worst Pills, Best Pills consumer guide to medications.'Dr. Sid Wolfe was the person who really held [the FDA's] feet to the fire and held us— or even me, when I was there—accountable. He was the person who raised the impertinent questions. He was the person who asked why you couldn't do more, or he was the person who asked why you did what you had done. All of those were appropriate to do. And all of those challenged the agency in ways that I think were healthy, even if not always welcomed by the agency.Dr. Peter LurieI didn't think, personally, that you could actually win in this life. What I thought that I would do was tilt at windmills for the rest of my life, fight the good fight, maybe be an honorable person, maybe my kids would appreciate it. That's all I really thought would happen. But what Dr. Sid Wolfe showed me was that if you picked the right project, if you picked the project that was the right size, that involved a question that was actually being posed to a regulatory agency… If you picked that right-sized project and you brought the right data to bear, you actually could win. You could get that warning on the box. And if you won the first time, that told you that you could win a second and a third and a fourth time. And that is what keeps you going.Dr. Peter Lurie Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She hosts Adrienne Buller, Senior Fellow at Common Wealth, to discuss her recent book The Value of a Whale: On the Illusions of Green Capitalism. Then, in a pre-taped conversation, Emma sits down with Mark Himmelstein and Marshawn Brewer of the bargaining committee for Fordham University graduate students, to discuss their recent organizing efforts and yesterday's walkout from classes. First, Emma runs through updates on Manchin's future, Disney's lawsuit against DeSantis, Tucker's firing, Montana's fascist GOP ousting Zooey Zephyr, Schumer's meeting with Elon Musk, and Trump's myriad legal battles, before diving into Tucker Carlson's weak debut post-Fox. Adrienne Buller then dives right into her recent piece on green capitalism, first exploring how the title parodies an IMF article evaluating the capital worth of whales to the global economy, and parsing through neoliberalism's emphasis on financialization and market-driven solutions. Next, Buller steps back to assess green capitalism as a whole, understanding its recognition of the climate crisis as progress while still recognizing how it seeks to exploit said crisis, walking through the myriad “green” tactics, like carbon pricing/capture and ESG, and exploring how they work to incentivize rather than regulate, thus providing more than enough loopholes for capitalists to offshore and offset exploitation. Wrapping up, Adrienne and Emma look to Biden's IRA as a perfect example of green capitalism's market-based solutions, the importance of grounding solutions in justice, and why social justice can't prioritize profitability. Then, Emma is joined by Mark Himmelsbach and Marshawn Brewer as they walk through the impetus for the unionization of Fordham's graduate students, from the University's failure to respond to COVID to New York's growing cost-of-living crisis, and explore what its like to battle against an institution that refuses to recognize you, much less your struggles. Wrapping up, they dive into the union's recent walkout, where the union's hopes lay, and how those of us outside of the union can help. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder as they tackle Bernie's Biden endorsement, watch Crowder get eviscerated by an up-and-coming Amy Schumer, and Wayne from Iowa holds Emma accountable for her child-labor-phobic comments. They also tackle Dwayne Wade's recent comments on Florida's growing fascism, Nico from San Francisco helps the crew parse through SF's anti-homeless fury, and Ron Johnson doesn't give a sh*t about your crops. Marjorie Taylor Greene capitalizes on her committee seats with some staunch homophobia, and Robert from Georgia dives into the Tucker Carlson firing, plus, your calls and IMs!

The Harm of Weight Stigma

Weight and Healthcare

This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing!I've written before about weight stigma in healthcare practice, and I'm currently co-authoring a study with Dr. Lesleigh Owen about the harm weight stigma does to the highest-weight patients. Today I'm going to dig into the research that already exists that explores the harm done to fat* patients by weight stigma.As we get into the research, a few reminders:First, weight stigma is rooted in and inextricable from racism and anti-Blackness, and continues to do disproportionate harm to those communities today. I urge you to read Sabrina Strings' Fearing the Black Body – the Racial Origins of Fat Phobia and Da'Shaun Harrison's Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness to understand more about this.Second, typically research over-represents privileged people and under-represents (or fails to represent at all) marginalized people, and thus the harm done to them is also under- or un-represented.Third, I wrote here about how weight stigma research is often still rooted in anti-fatness. I recommend reading this to contextualize a lot of the research and researchers I will talk about here.Many of the studies that will be discussed in this article look at perceived weight bias/weight status. In this way, weight stigma can harm people of many different sizes, so just a reminder that weight stigma, in particular structural weight stigma, always does the most harm to those at the highest weights and/or those with multiple marginalized identities.I also want to point out how often the things that are correlated with both weight stigma and body size are blamed on body size itself without any discussion of weight stigma as a strongly researched possible confounding variable (this is also common with weight cycling and healthcare inequalities.)In this piece I'll be looking at studies that show harm to physical and/or mental health, including iatrogenic harm, which means harm that is done by the healthcare system/healthcare practitioners. Weight stigma does much, much more harm in all aspects of the lives of higher-weight people that won't be examined here. Also, this provides brief overviews of the studies included and is far from an exhaustive list. Please feel free to add other examples in the comments.Finally, just a reminder that my policy is that when I refer to studies that perpetuate anti-fatness and harm, I will provide enough information to Google them, but I won't link to them directly. Last last thing before we dig in: studies refer to this variously as weight stigma, weight bias, sizeism, and other less common (sometimes more stigmatizing!) terms, I'm combining those for the purpose of this article.Content note: This section will discuss physical and psychological harm that can result from weight stigma, including bias and self-harm, and may be harmful/triggering to higher-weight people, so please take care of yourselfI think therefore I am: Perceived ideal weight as a determinant of health, Muennig et al., 2008This study looked at whether stress related to negative body image perception and the desire to lose weight could impact health, and found that the difference between actual and desired body weight was a stronger predictor of physical and mental health than actual body mass index (BMI) in cis women. “[cis] Women who say they feel they are too heavy suffer more mental and physical illness than women who say they feel fine about their size - no matter what they weigh.”The body politic: the relationship between stigma and ob*sity-associated disease, Muenniug, 2008This work examines the relationship between weight stigma and health issues, and finds that weight stigma may drive health issues that are typically blamed on body size.“Stigma and prejudice are intensely stressful. Over time, such chronic stress can lead to high blood pressure and diabetes.”The Weight of Stigma: Cortisol reactivity to manipulated weight stigma, Himmelstein et. al:Young women who were told in an experiment that their weights “weren't ideal” experienced higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol, regardless of their actual size.“Experiencing weight stigma was stressful for participants who perceived themselves as heavy, regardless of their BMI. These results are important because stress and cortisol are linked to deleterious health outcomes...”Associations between perceived weight discrimination and the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in the general population, Hatzenbuehler, 2009* Perceived weight discrimination is associated with substantial psychiatric morbidity and comorbidity.* The results remained significant after adjusting for perceived stress (a possible confounding variable)* Social support did not buffer against the adverse effects of perceived weight discrimination on mental health.* Controlling for BMI did not diminish the associations, indicating that perceived weight discrimination is potentially harmful to mental health regardless of weight.They concluded that “These results highlight the urgent need for a multifaceted approach to address this important public health issue, including interventions to assist [higher-weight] individuals in coping with the mental health sequelae of perceived weight discrimination.”Weight stigma as a risk factor for suicidality, Brochu, 2020This study examined the connection between subjective perceptions of “overw*ight” and risks of suicidality and found that they were “associated with increased risk of suicidal ideation, plans, and attempt in a large sample of US adolescents, even when controlling for participant age, gender, race/ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), and depression.”I think that this is part of the serious danger of the new AAP guidelines which call for an intense focus on the weight of children, starting to label them as “overw*ght” and “ob*se” as young as two years old.Weight Discrimination and Risk of Mortality, Sutin et al, 2015The study found that* Perceived weight discrimination was associated with an increase in mortality risk of nearly 60%* This increased risk was not accounted for by common physical and psychological risk factors* In addition to its association with poor health outcomes, weight discrimination may shorten life expectancyWeight stigma and health behaviors: evidence from the Eating in America Study, Lee et al., 2021This study points out that “weight stigma is pervasive across the U.S. and is associated with poor health outcomes including all-cause mortality” and seeks to find if weight stigma drives poorer health behavior. (As a reminder, health is an amorphous concept and is not an obligation, barometer of worthiness, or entirely within our control.)The study found that weight stigma was significantly associated with greater disordered eating, sleep disturbance, and alcohol use.Overcoming Weight Bias in the Management of Patients With Diabetes and Ob*sity, Puhl, et al., 2016The health impacts of weight stigma can include:* increased blood pressure, blood sugar, and levels of the stress hormone cortisol* reduced engagement with health care services, reduced trust of health care providers* depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicidal tendency* unhealthy eating behaviors, binge eating disorder, and lower motivation for exercise* long-term health impacts including more advanced and poorly controlled chronic disease, and low health-related quality of lifeI want to point out here, again, how much overlap there is with health issues that get blamed on body size, and that studies that link being higher-weight to health issues typically don't even mention weight stigma, let alone control for it.Weight Stigma Among Healthcare Practitioners that Can Impact CareStigma in Practice: Barriers to Health for Fat Women, Lee and Pausé, 2016https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.02063/fullI recommend reading this in its entirety. Some of the highlights:* Fat individuals are less likely to access healthcare, and are less likely to receive evidence-based and bias-free healthcare when they do engage* Anti-fat attitudes are found in both practitioners and students, from physicians/doctors, researchers, clinicians, physiotherapists, dieticians, and nurses and  students in the medical and dietetic fields* Negative attitudes about fat patients result in doctors choosing to spend less time with fat patients and often resulting in fewer preventive and diagnostic tests for fat patients* Whether due to improper equipment, lack of education, bias, or an interaction between the three, it is clear that providers also present a barrier to the health and well-being of fat individuals.Nurses' Weight Bias in Caring for Ob*se Patients, Tanneberger & Ciupitu-Plath, 2018* Nurses found higher-weight patients lazy, stupid, noncompliant, less healthy, gluttonous* Biases stemmed from belief that weight is under the individual's control and/or that they would require more resourcesImpact on Nurses* Care was given out of disapproval or condemnationImpact on Patients* Canceling or delaying appointments after experiencing negative attitudes, discourteous treatment, and too small equipment being used during careThe Stigma of Ob*sity: A Review and Update, Puhl and Heuer, 2009* Over 50% of doctors found their higher-weight patients awkward, ugly, weak-willed and unlikely to comply with treatment.* 28% of nurses were “repulsed” by higher-weight patients* 12% of nurses said that they did not want to touch higher-weight patientsWeight bias among health care professionals: A systematic review and meta- analysis, Lawrence et al., 2021This is a systematic review and random- effects meta-analysis of 41 studies. It's important to note the overall quality of these studies was very low and the authors point out the need for better-quality research.“Findings show that medical doctors, nurses, dietitians, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, podiatrists, and exercise physiologists hold implicit and/or explicit weight-biased attitudes toward [higher-weight] patients.”I agree with Lawrence et al that we need more and better-quality research. And I think a major aspect of better quality is research that comes from a perspective that affirms the existence of higher-weight people and not from a perspective that is fully invested in the pathologization and eradication of existing fat people and the prevention of any more from existing. Weight stigma research that is invested in the weight-centric paradigm, as so much of the research above is, both displays and perpetuates additional weight stigma. Did you find this post helpful?

He also serves as a staff physician at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and is the co-founder of Physicians for a National Health Program. This is the first of a two-part series with Dr. Himmelstein.  Check out the Show Notes and Transcript for helpful links and more!

Today on Sojourner Truth: The COVID-19 virus is once again spiking across the United States, infecting hundreds of thousands of people and forcing states to shut down. Over a million new cases have been confirmed over the past week as elected officials in all 50 states have reported higher infection rates, according to The New York Times. Texas, New Hampshire, Tennessee and Oregon are among 39 states that have set weekly case records in the last few days. The number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 continues to set new records, with more than 73,000 patients in the hospital on Monday, November 16, according to the Covid Tracking Project. That figure has remained above 61,000 for the past week. Deaths from COVID-19 are also on the uptick, as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a countrywide average of more than 1,100 a day. Overall, 248,429 people have died from COVID-19 in the United States, with over 11.3 million people being infected, according to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center. Our guest is Dr. David Himmelstein, a Distinguished Professor of Public Health at the City University of New York, a lecturer in Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a primary care doctor in The Bronx. Dr. Himmelstein co-founded Physicians for a National Health Program, a group whose 23,000 members advocate for Medicare for All. As Donald Trump continues to claim election fraud, President-elect Joe Biden is busy assembling his inner team of White House advisers and Cabinet officials. Ten people have been appointed thus far, seven of which include women and people of color. Biden will also nominate officials to head the federal government's domestic and international security teams. Despite the President-elect receiving praise for hiring women and people of color, many are concerned about his top picks for security and defense. Susan Rice, who is being considered for Secretary of State, backed the invasion of Iraq and echoed the long debunked claim that there were weapons of mass destruction there. Tony Blinken, who is being considered for National Security Adviser, supported the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan under former President Barack Obama.

Today on Sojourner Truth: The COVID-19 virus is once again spiking across the United States, infecting hundreds of thousands of people and forcing states to shut down. Over a million new cases have been confirmed over the past week as elected officials in all 50 states have reported higher infection rates, according to The New York Times. Texas, New Hampshire, Tennessee and Oregon are among 39 states that have set weekly case records in the last few days. The number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 continues to set new records, with more than 73,000 patients in the hospital on Monday, November 16, according to the Covid Tracking Project. That figure has remained above 61,000 for the past week. Deaths from COVID-19 are also on the uptick, as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a countrywide average of more than 1,100 a day. Overall, 248,429 people have died from COVID-19 in the United States, with over 11.3 million people being infected, according to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center. Our guest is Dr. David Himmelstein, a Distinguished Professor of Public Health at the City University of New York, a lecturer in Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a primary care doctor in The Bronx. Dr. Himmelstein co-founded Physicians for a National Health Program, a group whose 23,000 members advocate for Medicare for All. As Donald Trump continues to claim election fraud, President-elect Joe Biden is busy assembling his inner team of White House advisers and Cabinet officials. Ten people have been appointed thus far, seven of which include women and people of color. Biden will also nominate officials to head the federal government's domestic and international security teams. Despite the President-elect receiving praise for hiring women and people of color, many are concerned about his top picks for security and defense. Susan Rice, who is being considered for Secretary of State, backed the invasion of Iraq and echoed the long debunked claim that there were weapons of mass destruction there. Tony Blinken, who is being considered for National Security Adviser, supported the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan under former President Barack Obama. And Michle Flournoy, who is being considered for Secretary of Defence, also called for preemptive strikes against Iraq.

Our guest this week is David Himmelstein. He is a distinguished professor of public health and health policy in the CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College, adjunct clinical professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and lecturer in medicine at Harvard Medical School. He has served as chief of the division of social and community medicine at Cambridge Hospital. David has authored or co-authored more than 100 journal articles and three books, including widely cited studies of medical bankruptcy and the high administrative costs of the U.S. health care system. His 1984 study of patient dumping led to the enactment of EMTALA, the law that banned that practice. He is also a co-founder of Physicians for a National Health Program and is a principal author of PNHP articles published in the JAMA and the New England Journal of Medicine in conjunction with Dr. Steffie Woolhandler. We talk about how he got his start in research by looking at patient dumping practices as a trainee, and how he views advocacy as a natural outgrowth of his research findings. We also talk about his work as a leader in advocacy for a national health insurance program and talk about a few common arguments against such policy changes. Lastly, he gives some advice for folks early in their career who would like to follow his model of research blended with advocacy.

This pod discusses a paper by Himmelstein and Venkataramani about the prevalence of low income and of poverty among female health care workers in the US and estimates the ability of a minimum wage of $15 to improve the condition of the currently 1.7 million female health care workers who live in poverty. My interviewees are: Kayty Himmelstein, one of the authors; Mandy Rae Hartz from the Healthcare Workers Council of the United Steel Workers; Henrie Treadwell who is with Community Voices in Atlanta; and Paul Leigh, who is a labor and health economist in Davis, California. Who are the health care workers? How prevalent are low wages and poverty among them? Is the culprit the health care industry or more generally gender and racial inequity? Finally, if the minimum wage was raised to $15 per hour, what would be the impact for health care workers, and also for US workers in general.

Fakery abounds in our news media, I'm afraid to report. Ben Rhodes, a big wig with the Obama Administration said about the news media in regard to their coverage of foreign affairs: "The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That's a sea change. They literally know nothing.” Unfortunately, the media is also just as bad at pushing false narratives for domestic issues too. In this episode, I read from an article which tore apart the "study" conducted by Elizabeth Warren and a Marxist physician, both from Harvard which was used as complete propaganda to scare people that health costs caused the majority of bankruptcies. The study was click bait. The media fell for it, hook, line and sinker and then offered their own version of click bait to further the dialogue. They were so successful that nearly EVERYONE seems to think that bankruptcies are caused by medical expenses. Yet, the study said no such thing. Sadly, the study authors KNOW IT TOO but they knew even better they'd have a willing media as accomplices to pushing their fraud. Lo and behold, 12 years later, Warren is on the cusp of a presidential campaign. What's Himmelstein doing? He's a regular contributor for The Nation magazine. There are no capitalists or believers in private property at The Nation. In fact, he wrote in the Washington Post, just last year, that repealing Obamacare would KILL 43,000 people a year. Not hurt people, literally KILL them! Yet, these two people are the source of the widely cited studies of medical bankruptcy which the media ran with NO consideration of the evidence of the claims. It's as if they push an agenda. Frightening actually. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3105661 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/josh-scandlen-podcast/support

David Himmelstein, M.D. — Harvard Medical School, co-founder, Physicians for a National Health Plan is the guest on this edition of Tell Somebody. The following came in a press release from Public Citizen: Two-Thirds of Bankruptcies Are Medically Related; National Health Insurance Needed NowStatement of Sidney Wolfe, M.D., Director, Health Research Group at Public CitizenA nationwide study showing that 62 percent of bankruptcies in 2007 were related to medical bills or illness underscores the need for a single-payer health care system.The study, conducted by researchers at Harvard Medical School, Harvard Law School and Ohio State University (David Himmelstein, Steffie Woolhandler, Elizabeth Warren and Deborah Thorne) found the high bankruptcy rate even though more than three-quarters (78 percent) of the people having medical bankruptcies had health insurance - mainly private insurance - at the start of their illness. It is astounding that medically related bankruptcies increased by half from 2001 to 2007 - well before the current economic crisis.Dr. Himmelstein, one of the authors of the study, will talk about it and why a single payer plan is the only solution that makes sense. Dr. Himmelstein practices and teaches primary care internal medicine at the Cambridge Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts and is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard. He was a co-founder of PNHP and one of two National Coordinators for the first five years of the organization. Dr. Himmelstein co-authored PNHP’s original proposal, its long-term care proposal, and its proposal for financing a national health program.
