This post is my 4,000th blog post here at Healthcare Economist. The blog started January 19, 2006, when I (not so) cleverly titled my very first blog post “Welcome!!!” Over the years, we have covered a variety of issues: from health reform and value-based purchasing, to innovation and outcomes-based pricing; from current events and health policy to detailed reviews of novel econometric and statistical techniques. After more than 12 years and now 4,000 posts, I’m still going strong and hoping you are still enjoying the content here as well.
