Our dear friend Anne died on Christmas of ovarian cancer, leaving her wife Valerie and their son Bobby. This family matters so much to me. They got to know us after Bobby was diagnosed with Down syndrome before he was born, and our families remain close. Help if you can. Just a repost helps.

CMMI has announced a demo to introduce more prior authorization into traditional Medicare. My latest with Don Berwick in @statnews.com on that’s bad news: www.statnews.com/2025/07/25/m...
Plans to test prior authorization in traditional Medicare are deeply troubling
Preauthorization is about to enter the lives of many seniors who have chosen traditional Medicare over MA, write former CMS Administrator Don Berwick and health policy expert Andrea Ducas.
