KEY BLOCK----- By Dan Diamond | 05/06/2016 10:00 AM EDT Millennials have killed America's 20-year running boom, and critics say that media coverage of a medical error study is error-ridden. But first: The head of CMS hints that the agency will roll out new initiatives to support doctors. WHAT'S NEXT FROM CMS: MORE HELP FOR PHYSICIANS - That's what CMS acting administrator Andy Slavitt teased in a fireside chat Thursday in Baltimore. Slavitt said that three core principles - that CMS needs to simplify physicians' practice, offer more flexibility and pay better for primary care - are shaping new rules and programs, like the MACRA law and comprehensive primary care (CPC+) demonstration. And those three beliefs will find their way into "other things this summer" too, he hinted. They're also the "core elements" to ensure that small primary care practices remain independent, Slavitt said on Twitter, responding to Farzad Mostashari's assertion on POLITICO's "Pulse Check" podcast that Medicare is inadvertently pressuring the independent physician model. WHAT'S NEXT FOR E-CIG BACKERS: HOPING FOR HELP FROM THE SENATE - Under Thursday's rule, e-cigarette companies must file an application with the FDA within two years to prove that they don't present any new public health risks. That's expected to prove costly and could thin the industry, Pro's Brett Norman points out. (More on that below.) Vaping companies have allies in the House - who have pushed an amendment to exempt e-cigarettes already on the market from FDA's review - but any hopes that the Senate may join that effort might be built on fumes. The Senate has shown little interest to date in interfering with FDA oversight of vaping. 'Big Tobacco is getting just what it wanted.' That's according to law professor Jonathan Adler, who writes in the Washington Post's "Volokh Conspiracy" blog that the regulation will force many vaping companies out of the market. "Even if smaller manufacturers can satisfy the relevant regulatory deadlines, the rules will increase the cost of e-cigs, limiting their cost advantage vis-a-vis traditional cigarettes and inhibit continued product innovation," Adler said, arguing it may turn out to be harmful for public health.

CIGARS MAY BE ANOTHER MATTER? - A bill in the Senate that would carve out premium cigars from the new FDA regulatory regime has 20 co-sponsors, including Sen. Jerry Moran, who chairs the FDA-Agriculture appropriations subcommittee.

And it costs $363 per record to fix a health care data breach, the highest of all industries, Yaraghi writes. Read his report:http://brook.gs/1QTszpv THE ERROR IN MEDICAL ERROR COVERAGE - A much-buzzed about BMJ study that suggested 250,000 Americans die per year from medical errors relied on a "sensational and possibly inflated figure," watchdog Gary Schwitzer warns: http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=2e8ad9e5051303208d0ddde760258ff47ee2af31cbae3c31eb2b11baacf76e35 - 'Advocacy masquerading as science: Medical Errors Edition.' That's Harvard economist Amitabh Chandra's assessment of the new study, which he thinks relies on made-up numbers. ICYMI: WHERE INSURERS STAND ON OBAMACARE - With more earnings reports this week, here's PULSE's quick recap of where some of the nation's biggest insurers stand on the Obamacare exchanges. Anthem: In 14 states now and may expand Cigna: In seven states and expects to expand Humana: In 15 states and pulling out of five-plus states UnitedHealth: In 34 states now and pulling out of 26-plus states - How to read insurers' rate requests. A new brief from Kaiser Family Foundation's Gary Claxton and Larry Levitt says that several core questions can help explain the rates that payers are asking for - and guide whether regulators will grant those requests, too. Those questions include 1) Are current premiums adequate? 2) How will enrollment change in 2017? 3) What's the estimated increase in prices and services? 4) Are there significant changes in policy design or network? 5) Are there notable changes in law or regulation? 6) What's the state of competition in the market?

"Until now, CMS's strategy of developing and testing payment models that could appeal to organizations at varying stages of readiness has been effective," Mechanic writes. "But reforms are reaching a scale at which distortions generated by overlapping models could create real problems."

"Is there a way to bet against the whole system?" Yale Med assistant professor David Rosenthal griped to PULSE. "I don't think anyone really can possibly understand it - even the experts." CDC: WHERE AMERICANS HAVE THE HARDEST TIME ACCESSING CARE - Overall, 17.3 percent of American adults between ages 18 and 64 didn't have a usual place for medical care in 2014, according to a new CDC report. However, researchers flagged wide variation between the states. Where residents were least likely to have access: Western and Southwestern states . Nevada: 26.7 percent of adults didn't have a usual place for care . Idaho: 26.6 percent . Texas: 25.4 percent Where residents were mostly like to have access: Small Northeastern states . Vermont: 2.8 percent of adults didn't have a usual place for care . Delaware: 6.8 percent . Massachusetts: 7.5 percent VALEANT: WE'RE LAUNCHING A PRICING COMMITTEE - The troubled pharmaceutical company said its new internal committee of scientists, doctors and other employees is designed to avoid "mistakes of the past" that led to price-gouging and congressional scrutiny. "This new committee will take a disciplined approach to reviewing the company's pricing of drugs, and will consider the impact on patients, doctors, and our health care industry partners," CEO Joseph Papa said in a statement. "Valeant's number one priority is ensuring patients can access the medicines they need." - Drugs slated for review: Nitropress, Isuprel, Cuprimine and Syprine ICYMI: WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED ON THE PULSE CHECK PODCAST - It's been named a "Noteworthy" podcast by iTunes and been buzzed about on social media.

THE STORY OF THE WEEK ... was a tight battle, and several people wrote in to suggest Gina Kolata's fascinating analysis of whether "The Biggest Loser" reality show actually helped contestants lose weight, and what it ultimately revealed about dieting. However, the Los Angeles Times's investigation of Oxycontin - and the revelation that the drug's effectiveness wasn't all that it's cracked up to be, laying the groundwork for opioid addiction - got even more endorsements. Read the story: http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=2e8ad9e505130320e2624a9ef1bb8cd5d6b8dfc48ad1027475d67b050a89482e - A loud dissenter: Purdue Pharma pushes back on the Times' investigation, going point-by-point to dispute whether Oxycontin is less effective than advertised and if the company misled doctors and regulators. "The LAT's claims have not only been publicly voiced, they've been directly rejected by regulatory authorities," Purdue Pharma writes. NOT THE VIDEO OF THE WEEK - Siemens this week rebranded its health care business as "Healthineers," a relatively harmless term intended to evoke its spirt as a pioneering workplace, according to a statement. Less innocuous: This "Healthineers" song and dance at a mandatory company event. "Can confirm - this killed all productivity at our newly-christened Healthineers office today," a commenter wrote on Reddit. "This is going to be immortalized forever in the annals of horrible marketing mistakes." THE RUNNING BOOM IS OVER - And millennials killed it, the Wall Street Journal asserts.
