CVS’s Omnicare was hit with a $949M judgment for illegal billing. Now they’ve filed bankruptcy—so taxpayers and patients could be left paying the price, while CVS keeps billions in profits. Bankruptcy is not accountability. #HealthcareReform #PBMReform #Accountability…

When insurers own physician practices, your doctor becomes their cost center. Incentives flip from care to control.

Healthcare inflation isn’t inevitable. It’s engineered through regulation, opacity, and protectionism.

@MedicalQuack @CMSinnovates UNH is a problem, and the call is coming from inside the house as they say. Which is why we cannot have universal healthcare in America until we get campaign finance reform.

@nickmmark Only about 40% of American kids who want to study medicine are offered that opportunity. The reason for this is principally the limited number of residency placements. While this will negatively impact international applicants it will dramatically improve the opportunity for US…

A gastroenterology procedure in an ASC costs $1,2,00. In a hospital outpatient department: $7,000. Same physician. Same scope. Different ZIP code in the bill.

Same doctors. Same patients. Different building = billions more in Medicare costs. Hospital-affiliated physicians deliver 67% of expenditures in facility settings vs. far lower shares for independent or PE-affiliated practices .
