Sanidenialbel
As you probably know now, if you didn ' t before, Sanibel is a barrier Island near Fort Myers, Florida. Until Wednesday, it was connected to the mainland by a causeway, which has now been severed in 5 places, and long stretches of road are partially washed away.The average elevation of Sanibel is 3 feet, which means that according to the National Weather Service estimates of storm surge, the entire island was under seven to ten feet of ocean, with powerful current and battering waves. I decided to catch some disaster porn on Thursday, so I checked out the cable news. They showed an aerial view of the island. I didn ' t hav...

Commentators and Journalists Weigh In On Digital Health And Related Privacy, Safety, Social Media And Security Matters. Lots Of Interesting Perspectives - September 27, 2022.
Conclusions:This study revealed strong and consistent patterns of association between digital health literacy and the use of a web-based PHR.

Uptake may also be improved through more responsive digital services, strengthened health care, and better social support.

In Liz They Truss ‑t: Britain’s New Prime Minister
Ryan BourneToday Liz Truss becomes the UK ’s fourth Prime Minister in just over six years. She will be the third female Prime Minister in the country’s history (after Conservatives Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May).Earlier this summer, Conservative members of Parliament (MPs) toppled incumbent Prime Minister Boris Johnson. First they forced a Tory MP confidence vote on his leadership, which he survived. Soon after, a slew of high‐profile Cabinet resignations made his position untenable.Notionally, the triggers were revelations of several COVID-19 related lockdown breaches and then a government sex scandal in...

Taxes, Regulations, and Small Business in California ’s Marijuana Industry
David BoazCalifornians voted in 2016 to legalize marijuana for adult recreational use. The voter initiative,Proposition 64, provided for taxes, licensing, and a county option on whether to allow marijuana businesses at all (much like the alcohol rules in my home state of Kentucky, where some counties are “dry” to this day). Libertarians applauded the advance for liberty, and mostly understood that some taxes and regulation were inevitable — what product isn’t taxed and regulated in modern America? — butwarnedthat excessive taxes and regulations could keep much of the marijuana tradein the black market.Well, ...

Long COVID cardiac studies: More questions than answers.
BY ANISH KOKA
The NIH recently announced $1.2 billion dollars in funding for research on Long COVID. This is in part because of a faction of scientists that have mined electronic health record databases to find evidence that the long term impacts of COVID on a variety of different organ systems is significant.
I have some concerns when it comes to the cardiac complications discussed related to Long COVID.
One of Dr. Al-Aly’s long COVID papers illustrates the issues with using large datasets to differentiate signal from noise. The authors used the US Department of Veterans Affairs national healthcare datab...

SingerFourteen million individuals wereadded to the Medicaid and Children ’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) rolls during the COVID-19 public health emergency, with total enrollment reaching 85 million by September 2021.

Cryptocurrency in the Shadow of the Infrastructure Act: An Update
Nicholas AnthonyIt ’s been over six months since theInfrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was passed with its cryptocurrency reporting provisions intact.

Worse yet, it’s only six months until the reporting requirements will start to go in effect.Much has happened ...

Paul Krugman and the “Ersatz” Theory of Private Currencies
George SelginAlthough I ' ve devoted many essays here to exploding myths about historical private currencies, there ' s one I ' ve yet to directly challenge. That ' s the belief that such currencies only thrive in the absence of official alternatives. Otherwise, the argument goes, people would drop private currencies like so many hot rocks. Since this opinion assumes that private currencies are inevitably inferior to official ones, I hereby christen it the " ersatz " theory of private currency. Note that " currency " means circulating or (in today ' s digital context)peer-to-peer exchange media: nobody denies that other so...

The New Deal and Recovery, Part 18: The Recovery So Far
George Selgin(Although my contributions to this series have so far been more-or-less in their proper order, this one isn ' t: it occurred to me only relatively recently that it would be worthwhile to take stock of the overall progress of the recovery up to the outbreak of the Roosevelt Recession before delving into that episode. Had I done this in the first place, this installment would be Part 10 of the series, with the present Part 10 and all subsequent installments moved up a notch. –Ed.)When it struck down the Agricultural Adjustment Act in January 1936, the Supreme Court dropped the final curtain on the original New...

What the Pandemic Taught Us About Value-based Care
By RICHARD ISSACS
You’ll recall that we ran a long piece (pt 1, pt 2) about Medicare Advantage from former Kaiser Permanente CEO George Halvorson earlier this year. Here’s a somewhat related piece from the current head of the Permanente Medical Group about what actually happened there and elsewhere during the pandemic–Matthew Holt
The COVID-19 pandemic has provided important lessons regarding the structure and delivery of health care in the United States, and one of the most significant takeaways has been the need to shift to value-based models of care.
The urgency for this transformation was cle...
