Here is the word on #physician owned hospital legislation ( #poh ) from D.C. It’s turning into a political fight. One side doesn’t want the other side to win. Politicians, all of them, have forgotten that legislation is to be debated on its merits, not what wins talking

Dear America: A few takeaways from the last 7 days. Physicians and the medical professionals protecting the 🌎 are amazing. For the last 5 years the Twitterverse has been saying “doctors” and “medical professionals” are overpaid are now largely quiet. Thank God!

Half of the US population wants doctors to work for free. And somehow the @ahahospitals , @AmerMedicalAssn and @CMSGov have made physicians the enemy. The facts are clear physician fees are rounding errors in medical spend. #healthcare #fridaymorning

The US population has gone mad. I was in the queue for coffee at the ✈️ and a morbidly obese person told a teenager to put their mask over their nose. The kid replies, “I am healthy fat ass, you are disgusting. Why don’t you worry about yourself.” People clapped and boo’d.

Private practice can sell to a hospital and make 3x to 5x more for the same procedures. Why? Health systems and hospitals are paid more by Medicare and the BUCAs. Health systems increase their prices annually to drive up monthly premiums and contributions. Medicare pays

Don’t answer. I already know the answer. Health systems don’t want competition.

9 out of 10 patients do not meet their deductibles in any given year. Therefore it's crucial to empower patients with clear pricing information. Transparency breeds competition and can drive down costs, ensuring that patients receive the care they need at a price they can

Since 2008 what has gotten better about healthcare? Oh, I know, the US has lower expenses for medical care and pharmacy? No…. We have more independent physicians. Nope… We are better at saving lives. Hard no. We bankrupt people less. Also, no. I’d love to hear
