How does this make sense? Margaret Gamble needs to use a molecular test to monitor the health of her donated kidney. But a new Medicare rule has her insurer balking at covering the test — potentially putting the kidney at risk, @elaineywchen reports. statnews.com/2023/06/13/medi…

Transplant patients say new Medicare guidance puts their donated organs at risk

Transplant patients say Medicare’s hesitance over new types of tests limits their ability to detect any organ damage early.

Great conversations tonight at #STATinDC about the politics of #healthcare! The #HepC convo was inspiring- a classic #publichealth problem: we know the treatments but need to find the people. @NicholasFlorko @SciFleur – at Washington, DC

This clip from the Daily Show of people fighting against seat belt mandates in the 80s is absolutely surreal from start to finish given today's climate on both masks and COVID vaccines.

Although developing #kidneyfailure at nearly 4X the rate of white counterparts, Black Americans are still less likely to be placed on the #transplant wait list and less likely to receive a transplant once added. Here's how we can work together for change: bit.ly/3gLL3jH
