This is the best Healthcare trend I have seen in a long time! Optumserve, one of United HC's subsidiaries (they have 2000+ of them) has a history of getting hundreds of millions in government contracts, including some to to reduce fraud waste and abuse. The @TheJusticeDept

Pull up for a long thread about this @voxdotcom article with the subtitle "What the fight between @AnthemBCBS and anesthesiologists was really about." 1/12 🧵 @anesthesianews
A big insurer backed off its plan to pay less for anesthesia. That’s bad.

I think it’s really helpful for the general public to know that medical science can be wrong. For decades, kids got baby aspirin and then we discovered it caused Reyes syndrome. Physicians that are the most trustworthy are the ones that are the soonest to come along and say “we

Dr. Fauci (unable to resist the allure of a TV camera in retirement) returns to dispense more advice that no one asked for. He appears closer to conceding that masking had little or no population-level impact on the course of the pandemic. msn.com/en-us/health/m…

Coverage is not care. You and your Dem colleagues own the ACA , which was built on lies. The ACA didn’t fix anything, unless by ‘fixing’ you mean neutering the house of medicine. Because the ACA is a boon for big insurers: -mandated ‘insurance’ coverage -Medicaid expansion when

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million. Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals. Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Here is why I’m not crying in my coffee over losing govt employees: I went to a conference called reimagining healthcare“ about six years ago, and there was a whole panel of CMS people on the stage. After they were done yapping about “quality measures“ I raised my hand to ask a

CDC is not a Democratic or Republican agency. It's an American agency. One in three employees have been lost in recent months. This is dismantling of our health protections, not reform.

Wow, turns out that 15/17 of the board of directors for the National Institute of Health Care Management (who gives grants to Vox) are healthcare insurance people, 11 from Blue Cross, part of the Anthem family. So could getting a grant from this organization compel them to

I'm sorry for your loss. It's what I always say when I hear of a divorce. Yes, divorce is necessary at times, yet if love was once there and not enough remains to sustain a marriage, that's a loss. Hurt from this loss reverberates. Kids are collaterally damaged.

Naturally hospitals don’t want to go ‘back ‘ to pre ACA days. 👀 at that graph! The average pay for a Hospital Administrator is $391,000/year and $188 /hour in the USA 🇺🇸 . The average salary range: $234,600 and $642,023. On average, a Master's Degree is the highest level of

@realdocspeaks Everyone of us remember the time before the ACA. Not only limits for preexisting, bankruptcy for medical debt was 72%. No one including hospitals, wants to go backward. Try telling the truth or remove doc from your account.

Dear @elonmusk, I wanted you to be aware of the racket that goes on in medicine. To sum it up, here is a case example. When I fix a distal radius bone fracture - 45 minutes to 1 hr of highly skilled intricate work: 1. Doctor makes 750. 2. Hardware I put in costs 3000 plus

PBMs have become monsters that plunder the American people and help create the most outrageous national price tag for health care in the world.

As a pediatrician, I did not understand why the @AmerAcadPeds and the @ACCinTouch was not discussing the fact that even mild myocarditis would take young men out of sports for 6 months. 80% of high school boys play sports and for many during the pandemic, it was their sanity
