When AI Enters the Exam Room (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI can already read scans, flag high-risk patients, guide ultrasound exams, and even make some autonomous diagnostic decisions. But that raises a more important question: does a better model actually lead to better care? In this episode, we follow what happens after the algorithm gives an answer. We look at why GPT-4 did not automatically make physicians better diagnosticians, how AI cut mammography reading workload by 44%, why some clinical alerts become noise while others speed up stroke treat
When Healthcare Becomes an Investment Thesis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You may know your doctor. But do you know who owns the business around your doctor? Private equity usually does not show up in healthcare with a Wall Street label. It shows up more quietly, in the local practice that keeps its old name, the specialist group inside a hospital, or the clinic that suddenly feels more optimized than before.

Read excerpt
Why can the same care cost more when the doctor, the room, and the service have not changed?

The ACA changed who could enter the insurance market. It made it harder for insurers to deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions, removed annual and lifetime limits, expanded Medicaid in many states, and created subsidized marketplaces for people outside employer coverage. But it did not fully change what care costs once som
When Washington Becomes the Drug Price Negotiator (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when Medicare stops only paying for drugs and starts naming the price? In this episode, we look at the Inflation Reduction Act and Medicare drug price negotiation, not as a policy explainer, but as a shift in power inside the U.S. drug market. For nearly two decades, Medicare Part D relied on private plans, PBMs, formularies, and rebates to negotiate drug costs. The IRA changed that architecture. Washington is now setting prices for selected high-spend Medicare drugs, and every part
