South Charleston hospital to charge min of $8 upfront for non-emergent ER visit. (It will take more than $8 to dissuade ER walk-ins.) @NCPA https://t.co/4gzubgFUDS
That's an amusing take on the research. However, I suspect many hospitals would readmit dead patients if allowed to do so. @NCPA https://t.co/SiSkAIwyBO
Are those net jobs? Because we know biz will create more w/o mandate. If healthcare jobs go, that means cost control is working. Win! @NCPA https://t.co/YIHWktHmZ4
I believe @SenTedCruz's amendment improves the Senate bill. It would let insurers sell non-ACA plans if they sold one Obamacare plan. @NCPA https://t.co/95r4sp3BVH
There's something unseemly about doling out $200 bil in taxpayer money to do what Congress was sent to DC to do in the first place. @NCPA https://t.co/3k9E5QHXvO
Actually, most cases of anaphylactic shock & severe allergic reactions are in hospitals; from injected meds and scan contrast agents. @NCPA https://t.co/X6JAztu6ti

Why is healthcare expensive? 3rd party payment distorts incentives. Example: Duke Univ hospital has 67% more billing clerks than beds @NCPA https://t.co/ZhDpQZ0nWb
Go figure... @commonwealthfnd says ACA created good jobs in health care. @caseyMulligan points out it killed jobs outside health care @NCPA https://t.co/JNMthoHzwH
Great article about the rise of medical paternalism; explores what we're missing by putting medicine on a high pedestal out of reach. @NCPA https://t.co/zlWCi26K7C
