Netflix for Drugs?
By KIM BELLARD
A relative — obviously overestimating my healthcare expertise — asked my thoughts on The New York Times article Can a Federally Funded ‘Netflix Model’ Fix the Broken Market for Antibiotics? I had previously skimmed the article and was vaguely aware of the Pasteur Act that it discusses, but, honestly, my immediate reaction to the article was, gosh, that may not be a great analogy: do people realize what a tough year Netflix has had?
I have to admit that I tend to stay away from writing about Big Pharma and prescription drugs, mainly because, in a US healthcare system that seems to pride i...

Disruption Final
BY JEFF GOLDSMITH
If you read the business press, as I do every day, It is impossible to escape the “disruption” meme. Clayton Christiansen’s 1997 Innovators Dilemma explored how established businesses are blindsided by lower-cost competitors that undermine their core products, and eventually destroy their businesses. Classic examples were the displacement of film-based cameras by digital cameras and, now, cell phones, the destruction of retail shopping by Amazon and video rental outlets by streaming video services.

Stop Talking About the Bubble and Start Telling Your Story
BY MICHELLE SNYDER
Unless you have been off the grid for the past few months (which frankly sounds kind of nice right now), you know that the digital health market has changed dramatically. While not surprising to those of us who have been through the boom-and-bust cycles of the past two decades, it nevertheless has been an awakening for many investors and entrepreneurs.
As an entrepreneur, there are some things you cannot control – the macro-economic climate, supply chain disruptions and narcissist led wars halfway around the world. But what is entirely within your control is how you tell y...

Senate Bill: IRS Funding Hypocrisy
Chris EdwardsThe Senate ’s Inflation Reduction Act includes an $80 billion increase in the Internal Revenue Service budget over a decade, which would roughly double the agency’s budget by 2031.It ’s nearly impossible for taxpayers to contact the IRS for timely answers to filing questions, but the Senate bill devotes just $3.2 billion of the new spending to “taxpayer services.” The lion’s share—$46 billion—goes toward jacking up IRS enforcement. The thrust of the bill is against t he people, not for the people to understand the code and voluntarily comply.Senators supporting the bill talk about “tax cheat...

Empowering Trainees to be Leaders and Change Agents
We described several wellness initiatives that were done at individual campuses. The University of Illinois where I attend, we had a wellness committee that we formed led by students. We were able to partner with local companies to bring in more healthy food options. We were able to set up a counseling center dedicated specifically towards medical trainees.
Joe Geraghty:
And so that’s at the institutional level, but then in our local community, we had several letters from places like the University of Chicago. We had a medical student who wrote about how they were developing kind of like easy to digest infograp...

When Crypto Comes to Health Care
By KIM BELLARD
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been called many things. To most of the world, of course, it’s considered an invasion, a war between the two countries. To Russia, it’s a “peacekeeping” mission. The description that I can’t get out of my head, though, is one that I believe The Washington Post first used: it’s the world’s first crypto war.
“There is something about the war in Ukraine that feels different,” a former U.S. intelligence official told Nick Bilton. “We’ve seen wars documented on Twitter and images shared on the internet before, but this time it isn...
