Today I am writing the 3,000th post at Healthcare Economist. I started this site way back in January 2006 with this post and the site has grown ever since. Every post is authored by myself, Jason Shafrin. In case you’re late to this party, below I recap some of my most popular posts.
- The “Healthcare Around the World” Series.
- Obamacare Overview.
- Cost to bring a drug to market: $802m, and later updated to $1 billion.
- Medicare’s (True) Administrative Costs
- What is the difference between DRGs, AP-DRGs, and APR-DRGs? and CMS’s HCC system.
- The difference between public health and medicine.
- What is the difference between managed care and ACOs? and Are ACOs working?
- The end of hospital cost shifting?
…a blast from the past…
…plus some Econometrics
I hope you have enjoyed the previous 8+ years of my writing. I appreciate all feedback I have received from loyal readers over the years. I look forward to many more years giving my two cents on the current world of health economics.
Congratulations Jason! Your blog is a very informative tool for me. I wish you much success in your future endeavors!
Just think, if you spent an hour per blog, according to Malcolm Gladwell you are a mere 7000 hours from being good at it! Congrats you are a rockstar I want to be just like you when I grow up!
WooHoo – Mazel tov, Jason!!
Seriously, this is quite an accomplishment. Here’s to the *next* 3000!
Well done Jason! This is an incredible achievement, and I hope that the next 3000 blog posts are just as well thought out, helpful, and enjoyable to write as were the last 3000!
