Joe Biden promises to "provide health care for all"
Joe Biden makes campaign stop in Lancaster, Pa., promising to provide health care for all
The former vice president is slated to talk about health care as he makes another visit to Pennsylvania, a key in the battle for the White House.

Biden said he’d be unveiling more specifics on his health care plan in the next few weeks. But he said if elected, he would get to universal coverage quickly. He pointed to giving Americans a public option of a government-run health insurance program, similar to Medicare.
Biden said Americans nee...

Why no one has any trust in medicine and science in regards to COVID-19 now...
I expect the fall out from absolutely ABYSMAL decision making to last for years on medicine and health care in general in this country.
You thought the anti-vaxxers were bad? People are gonna avoid all healthcare, well aside from all the COVID-19 cases which will flood in and collapse the dying husks of the remaining hospitals. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Northstar and NAPA in SE Michigan
Today in the Metro Detroit area it was announced that Beaumont Health - one of the largest health care system in the Detroit area was turning toward Northstar for it's anesthesia services. Attached is the letter from Beaumont's CEO. NAPA recently acquired Mednax's American Anesthesia division which has the physician contract at Beaumont's other main hospitals in the area. I imagine that Beaumont will ask NAPA to take on the CRNAs or risk losing it all to NorthStar. I do not work for this...

Health question
Hi guys,
I am probably posting in a wrong forum, but could not find where to ask...
So what is your opinion on preventive health care, what kind of testing do you recommend to patients besides yearly physicals?
Lets say 50-60 -70 etc.. year old.
1) colon cancer screening
2) for women breast cancer screening (mammogram, ), OBGYN papsmear
for men prostate screening
3) do you recommend periodically Xray? Tb test? Or only if symptomatic?
anything else am I missing?
Thank you (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Our entire health care system which was predicated largely on fee-for-service has come tumbling down. It will be interesting to see how things look once we start to pick up the pieces and move forward. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

NYT: Hospitals Get Bailed Out While Independent MD's Struggle
Doctors Without Patients: ‘Our Waiting Rooms Are Like Ghost Towns.’
As visits plummet because of the coronavirus, small physician practices are struggling to survive.
www.nytimes.com
“Here’s the scary thing — as these practices start to break down and go bankrupt, we could have more consolidation among the health care systems,” Dr. Crow said. That concerns health economists, who say the steady rise in costs is linked to the clout these big hospital networks wield with private insurers to charge high prices.

HS Senior looking at Pre-Med
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone could help me out. I recently was accepted to both Princeton and UPenn, and at Penn, I was admitted to the Life Sciences-Management dual degree program. I'm passionate about working in health care; I have a pretty bad medical history, so that's always been an ambition. I'm not completely sure about the business side, but I do like to study both natural and social sciences with respect to health care. I like Princeton's...
