Having relied on HHS's planning and evaluation office to provide solid evidence for assessing important policies, I'm very disappointed at their hack job supporting the Trump work requirements. @adrianna.bsky.social and @chloeneast.bsky.social have the goods. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...
You have no idea how bad a report has to be to pull me back into the world of blogging.
So we wrote this post to tell you.
moved to the outdoor office
Is this a stupid fight? Yes.
Is STAT on the right side of history? Also yes.
Cherry-picked studies and unrealistic assumptions define a new government report

Do read @citizencohn.bsky.social on that ASPE report, quoting three former top appointees of the office.
"If you read the report itself... you can detect the whiff of serious, longtime HHS analysts trying their best to produce a truthful document."

Good. Grief. Here's my latest on how Dr. Oz's CMS is at every turn taking these already terrible Medicaid cuts and making them harsher for the most vulnerable (gift link):
Satisfying to help set the record on work requirements straight with @adrianna.bsky.social
"Given the research evidence and policy details, we conclude that, in the real world, Medicaid work requirements are much more likely to worsen poverty than to reduce it."
One year into new federal health leadership, new poll findings show a sharp fall in trust in the CDC, as well as continued support for childhood vaccine requirements and recent changes to dietary guidelines.

Is it “health care” or “healthcare”? STAT readers had strong feelings.
The poll, "One Year In: Public Views of a Changing Public Health Landscape," was conducted by Harvard Chan School and the de Beaumont Foundation's Public Health Listening Lab.
New at Can We Still Govern: The Trump admin released a report saying that Medicaid work requirements will increase work and reduce poverty. There is a technical term for this: malarkey.
Actual experts @chloeneast.bsky.social & @adrianna.bsky.social break it down.

Why does the Trump administration bother with issuing reports that people who study work requirements will not take seriously? Because most people don't know the topic. Reporters might assume there is some disagreement about the research, but not recognize just how misleading the claims are.
When Congress passed sweeping Medicaid cuts as part of President Donald Trump’s signature tax bill last year, the headline numbers were grim: Some 7.5 million people were expected to lose coverage due...
Dr Oz on Medicaid requirements: "You have to work. You were not put on this planet to sit at home and watch television. The average person who's on Medicaid, who's able-bodied, watches 6.1 hours of television, or just hangs out, every day. That's not why God put you here."
