Oz: We believe that 35% roughly of the people that are using the Affordable Care Act are not legit because they have never filed a claim.

[Surgery Center of OK @SurgeryCenterOK]

You trust your doctor to give you an accurate diagnosis - shouldn't you expect them to provide clear pricing?

Transparent communication is essential to the doctor/patient relationship, but costs too frequently remain a mystery.

At Surgery Center of Oklahoma, we've been giving you all the information you need to make informed healthcare decisions...including the cost, since 1997.

The ACA caused the prices to skyrocket. Until that is acknowledged/repealed your next move (whatever that is) will bring more DC slop and worsen the situation.

[Surgery Center of OK @SurgeryCenterOK]

When Surgery Center of Oklahoma opened in 1997, the idea that patients should know the price of surgery in advance was really unusual.

Rather than follow the status quo, founders Dr. Keith Smith and Dr. Steven Lantier believed patients deserved clarity before deciding on surgery.

In 2009, we began publishing our bundled procedure prices online, allowing patients to see one all-inclusive price before scheduling care.

This radical departure in healthcare communication started a movement that continues to grow.

Chefs can own restaurants. Lawyers can own law firms. But for 16 years, federal law has stood in the way of doctors opening or expanding hospitals.

It’s time to lift the ACA’s restrictions on physician-owned hospitals and let them compete on the same footing as traditional hospitals.

Republicans should ask voters: Who do you trust to make the best health care decisions for you and your family: you, or the politicians who gave us the Obamacare scam? https://t.co/jjoWFKovnf

New from me for @Paragon_Inst:

Physician-owned hospitals can increase competition and improve affordability.

But the ACA effectively barred new ones from opening and existing ones from expanding.

It’s time to lift these restrictions.

Politically motivated Dems like @LGSaraRodriguez are attacking the Medicaid reforms in the Working Families Tax Cut -- reforms that PROTECT taxpayers and services for the most vulnerable from FRAUD

It's almost like the recent reforms to the Medicaid program to actually protect our most vulnerable and to protect taxpayers were needed.

The fraud has got to stop.

For too long, big insurance companies and middlemen have made record profits off the sickness of Americans.

It’s time we return to what works, a doctor-patient relationship, so Americans are in charge of their own care.

Yes. And the subsidies grow on autopilot, with the taxpayer picking up nearly the entire premium increase over time.

For the median enrollee this year, the subsidy covers 94% of the total premium, leaving just $42 a month for the enrollee to pay.

[Brian Blase @brian_blase]

A long story about ACA enrollment and nothing about the large numbers of improper and phantom enrollees fails to provide vital context and presents a deeply misleading and inaccurate picture of the issue.

In 2025, there were 6.4 million improper ACA enrollees and probably about 4 million phantom enrollees. All well documented and researched.

In Florida, there are 5x as many enrollees in 100-150 FPL coverage as eligible and in Georgia it was nearly 3x!

There has been a huge number of enrollees in the last few years who used no medical care. Double the amount in a normal insurance market.

No mention of GAO's enrollment of 23 of 24 ficticious applicants in fully subsidized coverage.

No mention of CBO’s estimates of substantial improper enrollment in just a small set of non-Medicaid expansion states.

No mention of the three DOJ convictions of massive ACA enrollment fraud schemes.

No mention of the harm to people from unauthorized enrollment and enrollment switching.

No context to the pre-Biden Covid subsidy boost market.

No mention of the nearly 2 million people simultaneously enrolled in the ACA and Medicaid.

And of note, the median net monthly premium is only $42 nationwide with the underlying subsidy, which has grown massively on autopilot, covering 94 percent of the premium.
