@DrewAltman Yup. Butterfly doesn’t change its spots, & neither do grifters. As you well know, scattershot “fixes”/changes to a system as complex as the US health care system(s), can lead to all sorts of unintended outcomes rather than thoughtful plans to improve things like affordability.

@SarahKarlin Might be worth a convo with the AAP or AAFP or someone from the immunization managers association?🤷‍♂️

[Michael Miller, MD @HealthPolCom]

@SarahKarlin 🤣

@cynthiaccox An individual’s premium goes up 3-4% just for being a year older. Sooo if ACA maketplace premiums go up 11%, then INDIVIDUALS will see THEIR premiums go up 14-15% This is an example of why people lose trust in gov and media, ie, THEIR experience is different than expectations.

@jrovner Very Jelly!

@jrovner 0.1%er problems.

@chipkahn @Health_Affairs I remember the initial discussions and how the concerns were about electronic billing and records - but without any actual examples of problems or harms. 🤷‍♂️

@DrewAltman Affordability. Fairness. Transparency. Accountability.

@jrovner Aren’t they all designed/created for the same three seasonal strains?

@washingtonpost That’s why clinicians often have the flight attendant ask all the passengers if they have any otc meds with them, such as Benadryl or aspirin???
