New bi-partisan legislation has been introduced in support of extending the 5% AAPM bonus payment to physicians in Medicare! These payments will allow providers to invest in improving patient services and to #Care4CommonGood. @HCTTF’s: https://t.co/sleq3H7tRd

15) Fake accounts sometimes tell the most honest truth. Even the fake ones that fake the apology. The real Eli Lilly @LillyPad deserves every bit of the shitstorm that they brought onto themselves by price-gouging insulin 💉

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

10) hell yes @BernieSanders burns Eli Lilly’s disgusting profiteering. @LillyPad deserves all the shame in the world for their insulin price gouging.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

6) Insulin is off patent now. But pharma has patent hacked their way to keep charging over $300 a vial in the US… all while it is just $20-30 a vial in Canada. There is no excuse it should be that much higher in US.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

5) Never forget the 193 people in congress who voted against price cap on insulin. It’s effing life and death.

@GormleyAlbany @sarbetter Ulster county isn’t upstate 🙄 it’s just “everything outside of nyc”

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month.

[Kristen M-Heath @Kmmheath]

@CrazyMikeMMA I don’t see it as wrong. It just needs a different frame.

[Kristen M-Heath @Kmmheath]

@CrazyMikeMMA Same

The @HCTTF sent a letter to @CMSinnovates with recommendations for improving the model evaluation and certification process. One of the recommendations includes exploring different evaluation designs. https://t.co/Za04t3DST3

"I see a lot of vaccinated people getting COVID so what is the point?"

The point is these people aren't in the hospital.

That is the point.

Hey @Walmart I have been to multiple stores in the Syracuse area. They never have any of this. The pharmacists are excited, but they never have any, seeing maybe 3 boxes every few months. How about making this available instead of congratulating yourself?

@Walmart my brother is obv an insulin dependent diabetic and through him I have seen how hard it is to get rationally priced insulin. Kind of sick of you saying you’re doing something about this. Can you explain when it will make its way to middle sized cities like ours?

[Kristen M-Heath @Kmmheath]

@CrazyMikeMMA ME EITHER. ZERO. Or any of those. Sounds awful honestly.
