3 Standout Innovators at #HLTH2022
The annual HLTH conference is a smorgasbord of healthcare innovation. There are startups offering cutting-edge solutions alongside well-established health IT companies introducing their latest transformational products.

The slow death of primary care: a Canadian perspective
Loss of autonomy, gaslighting, abuse, exploitation, and hypocrisy are all strong words. Just writing them brings to my mind the harsh reality of my experience and the collective experience of others who have dared to speak up. These words come to mind when I think about primary care in Canada. I recognize similar sentiments are

More on Hitler
Although the name of the Nazi Party is short for " National Socialist, " the Nazi were not socialists in any way whatever. The reason for the name is that Hitler took over an existing party, called the German Workers Party, later renamed the National Socialist German Workers Party, and its initial platform had socialist elements, although it was primarily racist and nationalist. Those socialist platform items were dropped long before the Nazis took power. The Nazis were closely allied with German capitalism and enjoyed the full support and collaboration of Germany ' s industrial barons. They were also bitter opponents of s...

Did Something Happen in Crypto This Week?
Jack SoloweyFrank Sinatracrooned, “You’re riding high in April, shot down in May.” When it comes to CEO of the FTX crypto exchange and would‐be policy impresario Sam Bankman‐Fried (“SBF”), it’s more like “You’rethrowing twitter shade on Saturday, looking for a bailout next Tuesday. ”In crypto, karma moves fast. And in Washington, a crisis —such as a prominent brand in a buzzy industry losingbillions—is thought to be a terrible thing to waste. Nonetheless, policymakers should not hastily patch perceived regulatory gaps in counterproductive ways, such as by scapegoatin...

What Is The Duty To Act?
This week I’d like to explore two related topics that tend to create a bunch of confusion – the duty to act and the good Samaritan law. If you want to see a room full of EMTs argue with each other, ask a question like, “So, when does an EMT have a legal duty to act?” or “To whom does the good sam law really apply?” These are subjects where myth and confusion are more common than fact so lets jump in to these two, often confusing, legal tenants.
Today we’ll look at the duty to act and on Thursday we’ll dive in to the good samaritan law.
On duty or off duty, paid or vo...

Promises Made – Promises Kept: President Biden’s Support for “Obamacare.”
BY MIKE MAGEE
As the saying goes, “History repeats!” This is especially true where politics are involved.
Consider for example the past three decades in health care. It is striking how many of the players in our nation’s health policy drama remain front and center. And that includes President Biden who recently commented on the 12th anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare):
“The ACA delivered quality, affordable health coverage to more than 30 million Americans — giving families the freedom and confidence to pursue their dreams without the fear that one accident or il...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, October 31st 2022
This study used mice to evaluate how their lifestyles - eating fatty foods vs. healthy and exercising vs. not - affected the metabolites of their offspring. Metabolites are substances made or used when the body breaks down food, drugs or chemicals, or its own fat or muscle tissue. "We have previously shown that maternal and paternal exercise improve health of offspring. Tissue and serum metabolites play a fundamental role in the health of an organism, but how parental exercise affects offspring tissue and serum metabolites has not yet been investigated."
Researchers used targeted metabolomics - the study of metaboli...

These 8 Countries Could Put Together The World ’ s Most Advanced Healthcare System
If we are looking for the one thing common in the healthcare systems in various countries, is that no one has ever been truly satisfied with their own. The level of satisfaction/dissatisfaction of course varies widely between countries and is closely related to the economic performance and possibilities available for the given country in the past centuries/decades. But as we will see, with having focus and working for the right goals, it is possible to fully transform a country and its healthcare in just a few decades.
Can we, dreaming freely, come up with the perfect system? There are so many good examples all over the...

More on the Debate Over the Classification of Aging as a Disease
Whether or not aging is clearly listed as a disease in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) maintained by the World Health Organization (WHO) only matters because medical research and development is heavily regulated. Since aging isn't classified as a disease, there is no clear roadmap to obtaining regulatory approval to treat aging with a working rejuvenation therapy, and therefore no investor is willing to commit to funding that work. What happens instead is that the range of biotech companies presently working to produce age-slowing and rejuvenating therapies pick a specific age-related disease to start wi...
