CMMI plans to cancel several payment models by the end of the year.

The center has completed a data-driven review of models, a spokesperson said. They estimate the changes will save taxpayers almost $750 million, though they did not specify how:

Medicare Advantage plans get paid to cover veterans whose care gets paid for by the VA. Taxpayers get bilked to fund these sweet corporate profits. Amazing.

Just googled private equity hospitals

[Mac @GoodPoliticGuy]

wow I wonder what happened in recent elections in these countries could be a lesson there

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I’m in a hearing on the consequences of allowing profit-obsessed private equity companies to own hospitals.

A nurse at one of these hospitals is telling us horror stories. Dead babies in cardboard boxes. Nurses paying for basic supplies with their own money.

Macabre.

Did you know medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the US?

No one should choose between getting the care they need & keeping a roof over their head. It's time to end this crisis and push for a system where healthcare is guaranteed and ALL medical debt is forgiven.

One of @AdyBarkan's superpowers was his ability to connect with people and bring to the forefront their raw humanity. If you care about healthcare, have ever needed healthcare, or might need healthcare in the future, Ady's conversation with @KamalaHarris is a must-watch.

Insane prior authorization story of the day: child's EpiPen expired and she needs it for camp this weekend. Insurance requires prior auth (for an EpiPen!) that will take days. After 2 hours on phone, family ends up paying $345 out of pocket so kid can safely go to camp. @CMAdocs

Americans living on less than $20k/year are “enticed into ‘Medicare Advantage’ with promises of low premiums and then stuck with the delays, denials, and network barriers that we know compromise health outcomes.”

decades of neoliberalism have successfully gutted the socialist opposition in every single european country. now they’re openly embracing fascist politics again. dark times.

Huff remarks on a huge achievement by SNaHP students: pushing their city governments to eliminate hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical debt.

“If we students hadn’t done the research, sent the emails, and pushed our officials, it wouldn’t have happened.”

Ohio advocates won protection for abortion care through coalitions & base building! @MikeMassey5 tells @PNHP attendees the story #PNHP2023

[Physicians for a National Health Program @PNHP]

We met SO MANY pediatricians who support #SinglePayer at #AAP2023!

Children and families deserve lifelong, comprehensive health coverage with NO out-of-pocket costs.

In other words ... improved #MedicareForAll.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

i wonder if people will consider why haaretz, amnesty international an idf veterans group, the father of one of the israeli women held hostage and hundreds of other organizations correctly recognize the root cause of the violence as israel’s occupation.

[Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights @OhioReproRights]

We cannot let this be Ohio's future. Vote Yes on Issue 1 to stop Ohio’s extreme abortion ban and put families — not government — back in charge of personal decisions.

[Physicians for a National Health Program @PNHP]

“Medicare Advantage is just another example of the endless greed of the insurance industry poisoning American healthcare, siphoning money from vulnerable patients while delaying and denying necessary and often lifesaving treatment.”

This is why there will never be peace between workers and bosses. They may rarely say it but this is how the rich think

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

This IS NOT sustainable.
