@RepJamesFrank @DrDiGiorgio @mcuban MLR removes some incentives, but health plans still have to compete for business among employer sponsors, which produces some downward pressure on health plans. But hospitals have so much leverage they can charge exorbitant prices no matter what.

[Adam B. Colborn @AdamColborn]

What tools does Mr. Cuban think are available to the health plan to prevent hospital price gouging? They almost certainly have to put the hospital in network, and at that point they have limited ability to steer patients to other sites of service.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

Explain to me why the insurance company will pay $2500 for an MRI when there is a center down the street that will do it for $350 ?

Advocacy Alert! Thank you to @WaysandMeansGOP @WaysandMeansDems members for advancing the Main Street Pharmacy Access Act.
This is a key step in improving access to pharmacist-provided care for Medicare patients — in states that already authorize pharmacists to perform these services.
We appreciate AMCP members whose advocacy helped move this forward!

.@RepLarryBucshon on ECAPS bill passage and substantial health care legislation on Capitol Hill:
"Honestly, I think that this legislation has caused a pretty substantial discussion on Capitol Hill. And if it doesn't get through Congress this time, I'm hopeful that it will get picked up sometime in the next couple of years."
