Update: AHRQ not zeroed out. Budget folds it into @NIH (which I've actually advocated), though w/ severe budget cut.http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/05/what-s-trump-s-2018-budget-request-science …

AHRQ gets structured as an "institute" within NIH, w/ $379m in funding.pic.twitter.com/X9GX5T2jys

$107million of which comes from the PCORT(rust)F(und)pic.twitter.com/Ku149Dccr4

(this means that the effective budget cut to NIH is even greater, since they're now including what's left of AHRQ's $ in NIH's total)

Not only that, invests in ongoing data collection so we can know what's going on in our healthcare system. We'll be in the dark on a lot...

They're defunding AHRQ? Did the healthcare industry lobby for this?

Woohoo! Best News Ever! You mean MACRA, MIPS, PQRS and other quality metric mumbo jumbo is going bye-bye? Hallelujah! Maybe there is a God

You're confusing AHRQ with CMS. . .
-
WRONG! AHRQ commissioned a report in 2006 on pay-for-performance programs, which are supposed to reward providers for quality of care...
-
A report is not policy. AHRQ does not create policy or guidance. MACRA is CMS.
-
So AHRQ thinks up the nonsense and sends a report to CMS who enacts the ridiculous policy suggestions. How many angels can dance on a pin?

Shockingly and cynically focused on achieving a budget in all the wrong ways for improved healthcare & other things people really need.
