It Has Come to This? - Donald Trump's "Truly Absurd," "Word Salad," "Gibberish" Health Care Policy
Health Care Renewal is officially non-partisan.  We do not endorse candidates for office, or political parties.  That does not prevent us from commenting on policy issues, and on pronouncements and actions by politicians and government officials when they relate to the issues that interest us.So, we have criticized excessive coziness among politicians and government officials on one hand, and big health care organizations and their leaders on the other.  We have noted conflicts of interest affecting politicians, particularly the revolving door, and other shadings towards corporatism.  We have noted how ...

Analysis Shows Health Care Cost Predictions Grossly Incorrect
This study, once again disproves the misleading claims that pharmacy benefit managers and insurers (among others) make about spending on new innovative medicines. The report found that predictions of health care costs made prior to the introduction of new medicines were often dramatically overstated.

The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) predicted that the one-year cost of the two PCSK9 inhibitors would be $7.2 billion. However, in reality, based on reported sales, the actual cost will be approximately $8...

Amwell ’s Roy Schoenberg: Telehealth Post-Pandemic is “Entrenched Inside” Traditional Health Care
By JESSICA DaMASSA There are few better positioned to speculate on what’s next for telehealth than Roy Schoenberg, co-CEO & President, of Amwell.

The reality of COVID,” says Roy, “has literally opened the door to the question, can telehealth be better?” From the...

Quality Virtual Care Is Within Reach – But Only If We Act Now
By JULIA HU Though it will be impossible to overstate the devastation that the COVID-19 pandemic is leaving in its wake, we can also acknowledge that it has pushed humanity to creatively adapt to our new, socially-distanced reality—necessity is the mother of invention, as they say. Telehealth is not a new invention, but the necessity of keeping people physically apart, especially those particularly vulnerable to COVID, has suddenly put virtual health care at the center of our delivery system.  Patients and providers quickly pivoted to at-home care as in-person visits were limited for safety, and use of telehea...
