Toughness is not infinite and is not defined by a dollar amount
We knew the job would be tough but never considered how tough. Demanding jobs should be compensated accordingly, but what is the correlation between job choice, toughness, and salary? Is no job too tough as long as they pay you enough? After residency, I narrowed my options down to two private practice positions. One was

It ’ s time to retake the call room
For years, residents have tried valiantly to extract themselves from the hospital by physically moving out of the premises or reducing duty hours. Now it may be time to return. Rents are rising, and in the major metropolitan areas where most residencies exist, this is being felt acutely. Salaries are generally static, but rents have

How the Pandemic has Impacted the HealthTech Marketplace
The following is a guest article by Tray Chamberlin, Principal at Alexander Group.
Industry Growth Requires New and Improved HealthTech Commercial Models
As the COVID-19 storm settles, the HealthTech industry has seen a shift to positive growth. The influx of investment into the sector saw a flurry of new technologies and market entrants. As HealthTech companies raced to unite piecemeal offerings into comprehensive solutions through mergers and acquisitions or disrupt existing markets by shifting end-user expectations, they invariably needed to reconsider their organization’s commercial model. Recent research shows...

Overdue for Change: Social Security at Age 87
Romina BocciaThis past Sunday, Social Security – the single largest federal government program – turned 87 years old. The world has changed, but this massive federal program has not kept up with the times. Change is overdue.When President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Social Security into law on August 14, 1935,he referred to it as “a law which will give some measure of protection to the average citizen and to his family…against poverty‐ridden old age.” From a modest income support program, targeted toward individuals who lived beyond the age of life expectancy, Social Security now redistributes more than $...

The New Deal and Recovery, Part 20, Appendix: The Fate of Rosie the Riveter
George SelginInassessing the possibility that a severe downturn occurred at the end of WWII, I took issue with conventional wartime and postwar output statistics, while taking the period ' s unemployment statistics at face value. In so doing I set aside a hypothesis that disputes the unemployment numbers themselves. According to it, large numbers of would-be wartime women workers left the labor force not because they didn ' t want to keep working, but because they faced impossible odds of staying employed. If that was the case, then official figures substantially understate the real extent of unemployment, and whatever act...

Border Chaos and the Catch ‐22 of Immigration Reform
Alex NowrastehThe immigration system of the United States is more restrictive than most other developed countries. As my colleagueDavid Bier has shown, the foreign ‐born U.S. share of the population is the 35th highest out of 47 countries, including illegal immigrants. The United States has a foreign ‐born share of the population between Spain and Estonia. Using just thelegal immigrantshare of the population, the United States would have the 40th highest share that is foreign ‐born, between Denmark and France.A big difference in immigration between the United States and Europe is that illegal immigrants...

The Biggest Challenge to Lowering Costs in Healthcare
In all of my conversations, people know that I often go back to one basic principle: Follow the Money. It’s amazing how often that explains various behaviors, market dynamics, or trying to understand the why of something that seems unexplainable. However, in healthcare I find this is often dramatically more complicated than people realize. The number of people and organizations that profit off the dysfunction of healthcare is troubling to say the least.
I thought of this when Gabe Charbonneau, MD shared one of his favorite quotes:
All of us employed by healthcare corporations need help to assess our blindspots...
