Interesting report - with large tech companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon trying to break into health care, I wonder how many physicians are tied to these companies. Also wondering if other clinicians also have these types of all-state licenses. 🤔

Staffing in skilled nursing homes has been tough. Recent federal policy changes may be making things worse. Dr. Prusynski (@doc-doc-pru.bsky.social) discusses these issues with Kitsap Sun.

Medicaid cuts may shift who is paying for long term care rather than decrease demand for home health. Home health demand will likely persist given that many people require this care, which may force families to pay out of pocket, otherwise take on more unpaid caregiving.
