A new report from the Congressional Budget Office focuses on the prices private health plans pay for hospital and physician services.

A usual potpourri of research for your weekend enjoyment.

Another opportunity to hear my melodious intonations. No promises on the content.

Round and round the epidemic goes and where it stops no one knows, but we will keep cranking out the research summaries.

A look at daily trends in cases in the unvaccinated, vaccinated and prior infected sub-groups.

A closer look at the young age groups.

This research summary is a little more varied than just vax effectiveness.
