@txsportsdoc@mcuban Agree that one physician-focused entity is needed. I’ve thought some about this. Would be ideal to create a list of specific targeted agenda items to be pursued, as physicians often seem to have competing priorities and unity of purpose is important.
@DutchRojas What is the company called? I wonder if existing carriers are also getting reinsurance to cover big losses, could be downside protected too. I have always suspected that this market is lucrative for insurers, given that premiums are so high.
@mcuban That’s not the only reason why people hate these AI companies. They represent an existential threat, and they are largely unregulated. They may very well take most jobs. Revolutions happen when unemployment exceeds 20%.
@mcuban It changes depending on time of year. It used to be that deductible season was early in the year, but as insurance companies keep raising deductibles, it stretched further than in the past. I believe the average deductible is higher than the average patient spend now.
@neurosurgery We must do right by doctors and patients, ideally both simultaneously. Independent practice is being eroded to the detriment of both, and to our healthcare system in general.
@Dr_DewSweep You clearly have not played much summer golf in Florida, Texas, or anywhere that gets unbearably hot. Or in an extremely mountainous area.
@NancyMace Why should the young people who inherited relatively terrible economic circumstances pay them over seniors who experienced the best economic conditions in history?
@grahamformaine Aaand…that’s why they need to be broken up and stripped of their massive conflicts of interest from vertical integration! Force them to be nonprofit. #BreakUpBigInsurance
@JoeLombardoNV You mean because mail-in ballots are not problematic and do not contribute to significantly increased election fraud? Oh, I thought that was going to be the next thing out of your mouth to combat the rampant nonsense heard elsewhere.
@DarrigoMelanie You mean it would artificially keep the price of physicians’ medical service low by gov’t fiat, something that exists exactly NOWHERE else in our economy, in the midst of a massive physician shortage no less? Truly brilliant. Go research wait times for routine HC work elsewhere.
