I appeared on Freedom Rising, hosted by Andrew Lewis @MyCommonwealth. Here's the episode: youtube.com/watch?v=15FoF_BI…
If you've been waiting for the right opportunity to offer financial support to the Center for Modern Health, we have two exciting video projects in the early development stage that you might love. Reach out to set up a time to talk. @centermodhealth
In New Hampshire, every insurer that issues or renews a policy for medical or hospital expenses must include coverage for Scalp Hair Prostheses. If you were hoping to save money by not insuring yourself against the chance of needing that, you can't. centerformodernhealth.org/pu…
Yeah, Ceres is small but it would still take you six earth days on a moon buggy to circumnavigate it. Someday!
11-yo daughter whose headphones ran out of battery power while we were each quietly working at the table reassured me that it's ok, she can just play her music from the speaker on my phone.

In this psilocybin depression study, at one year out, 16 of 17 participants in the psilocybin group correctly guessed which group they were in (treatment or placebo), as did 16 of 16 in the niacin group. 😜 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
I'd like to give a special shout out to the "eighty percenters" out there. Health policy is multitudinous. If you agree with ~80% of what we write/say @centermodhealth and disagree with the other 20%, but you still follow us, then that's pretty cool of you. You're our kind.
If you have the soul of a builder but for whatever reason right now is not the time to pursue that, try to find a job where they're willing to give you the keys to some program where they've laid out the basic goals and conditions, but how you do it is up to you. Doesn't even matter what. Wide berth is what is key.
Victor Wooten has said that how a person reacts to unexpected disruptions during travel is a good indicator of one's character. I propose another one that's just as good: how a person treats referees in youth sports.

Ever wonder how much health coverage mandates add to the premium you pay?
@jaredrhoads joins me on the podcast to talk about his recent paper that estimates the cost of state coverage mandates.

I went on @TomVChurch's podcast this week to talk about health insurance, and specifically about coverage mandates. The episode is now out: church.substack.com/p/health…
Blue states offer more freedom to patients seeking hormonal birth control than do red states or purple states. See variable #24 below. These scores are on a scale of 1.0 (bad) to 5.0 (good).
More scores here: centerformodernhealth.org/pu…
Blue states restrict short-term renewable health plans much more than do red states or purple states. See variable #38 below. These scores are on a scale of 1.0 (bad) to 5.0 (good).
In the category of Institutional Freedom, red and purple states are noticeably more free than blue states. But in the Patient Freedom category, the story is the opposite. centerformodernhealth.org/pu…
