So why is healthcare so expensive? Part of it is the bloat/burden/regulation that now exists just to have the privilege of taking care of patients as a practice…

Yes, healthcare administrator roles are up 156%, but so is the admin/bloat…

+598% more billing rules. +97% more healthcare federal regulations…

Prior Auth, MIPS, denial appeals, no surprise act / IDR, “quality” metrics, EHR/IT requirements…the list goes on and so does the cost of complying.

“I would do it again” about an operation that accidentally killed 160 schoolgirls is exactly why Hegseth isn’t fit to lead our military.

Every one of the lawyers who stayed in this DOJ needs to be investigated by the relevant bars.

[Norm Eisen @NormEisen]

DOJ was due in court Friday to defend its list of 20,000 CA voters it called likely noncitizens

It bailed instead

Judge Carter closed the case today: “The right to vote is sacred. So, too, is trust in our democracy.” We couldn't agree more

Hearing MOOT. Case CLOSED👇 -TN

MAGA's are saying Nancy Lacore doesn't out rank Pete Hegseth. Yes, SHE FUCKING DOES.

Lacore attained Vice Admiral (0-9), five pay grades above Hegseth's highest rank of Major (0-4). Secretary of Defense is a civilian position, not a military rank.

Hope this clears things up!

In honor of @ChuckHubbardNC all but certainly winning NC-05 I’ve decided that after 8 years, I should finally share my Virginia Foxx story.

[Dr. Daniel J. Winarick @DrWinarick]

DBT has saved many lives. It was a brilliant invention - to integrate what worked from her own experience with existing schools of thought in psychotherapy, research, and philosophy to reverse engineer the cray out of people with BPD or disturbances of self-regulation. A true heroine in psychology. RIP Marsha Linehan. She will be remembered as one of the all time greats.

[Carissa Byrne Hessick @CBHessick]

I appreciate that there's a constitutional history and context associated with the phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors."

But anyone who says that the impeachment charges against Hegseth are mere "policy differences" is wrong.

These are crimes at the common law.

[Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD]

RFK Jr is more than that. He is an evil twisted grifter who wields the power to do things that endanger the public.

[Apu Akkad @ApuAkkad1]

Physician reimbursement down 12% while..

Healthcare insurance premiums up 146%

Admin roles up 156%

Make sense?

[Dr. Jonathan N. Stea @jonathanstea]

The Pennsylvania chapter of the Children’s Health Defense has been trolling and personally attacking myself and @PeterHotez for years.

The anti-vaccine movement seems extra sensitive lately. Perhaps it’s the smell of RFK Jr impeachment in the air. 😊

They are the reason care is so expensive.

[Wendell Potter @wendellpotter]

Seven of the nation’s largest publicly traded health insurers have released their Q3 2026 earnings reports — and they delivered the kind of quarter Wall Street was hoping for.

Q3 2026
💰 Revenue: $449 billion
📈 Profit: $9.2 billion

But the numbers only tell part of the story. I broke down what drove these results and what they mean for the future of American health care. Read the full analysis: https://t.co/KIiiWuBpgv

India has 22 official languages. China recognises 55 distinct ethnic minority groups. Nigeria has 4 official languages and 400+ regional languages. Iraq has 2 official/3 regional languages. Sounds like the issue is that you are ignorant of the world.
