There is no health without mental health. Every 40 seconds, someone loses their life to suicide. So #LetsTalk (the Twitter hashtag to share stories and research and support on the social feed). Today is October 10th, World Mental Health Day. As we go about our lives today and truly every day, we should be mindful that mental health is all about each of us individually, and all of us in our communities and in the world.

I’ve been working with CAPS in Patient and Family Engagement consulting and developing Education events for six years. My advocacy was a response to my now adult child’s lifelong chronic complex medical needs. Professionally, my background is in broadcasting and marketing.

We applaud the Department of Health and Human Services for launching regulatory action aimed at advancing value-based care and enabling greater care coordination to benefit patients. While we will be reviewing the proposed rules in detail and providing comment to HHS, this effort to modernize the Physician Self-Referral Law and the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute is an important step forward in shaping a healthcare system that consistently provides high-quality care while containing costs.

A study in JAMA published this week analyzed research reports that have measured waste in the U.S. health care system, calculating that 25% of medical spending in America is wasted. If spending is gauged at $3.8 trillion, waste amounts to nearly $1 trillion. If spending is 18% of the American gross domestic product (GDP), then some 4.5% of the U.S. economy is wasted spending by the health care system and its stakeholders.

I read Bottle of Lies – The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom by Katherine Eban. It traces the frightening lack of effective oversight and integrity in the Generic Medicine supply chain. My family has likely been impacted by poor quality generics. This reads as a true to life thriller. I was impressed that patient advocacy has played a role in starting to resolve some of the generic medicine issues.

Those financial pressures are on both sides of the health care payment transaction, stressing patients-as-payors and health care financial managers alike.
