Don't forget the July 2026 proposals aren't in a vacuum.

Handy Citations on Screening - Not Saving Costs

 Here's a tag at Linked In from Jeff Levin-Scherz, around August 1, 2026:

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jlevinscherz_how-should-we-think-about-the-cost-of-cancer-share-7485631887173001216-_KsM/ 


It pulls up a Substack article, July 26, 2026, by Levin-Scherz, "How should we think about the cost of cancer screening?"

https://employercoverage.substack.com/p/how-should-we-think-about-the-cost-d49?triedRedirect=true

Which kicks off, in part, from a Ann Intern Med article,  The Annual Cost of Cancer Screening in the United States, Halpern et al.

https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/epdf/10.7326/M24-0375

Toward the end see a callback to Levin-Scherz on Substack, from July 2024, on "fallacy of cost savings" -
