This week, I published the finale piece of the 10 part series in @BostonGlobe on reducing healthcare spending in America

I start with: why we should stop celebrating job growth in the health care sector.

A thread on what we learned — and what comes next

Call your senator and ask them to support this. Unless of course you think healthcare and insurance in this country are perfect

Opinion: Republicans stood by Diego Morales through scandals and corruption. That's not what got him in trouble. https://t.co/PGxpPurwgK

I’ll admit, when I was a kid in the 90s I definitely thought that Kid Rock would have less direct involvement with military operations

[ProPublica @propublica]

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs.

His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims.

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire.

It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane

It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs.

Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ?

Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us.

Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

One company: CVS Health
Three subsidiaries.
Over $1.3 billion in penalties imposed for fraud.

[Anne Cassity @AnneCassity1]

Great question! Why are they allowed to continue to participate in government programs after continued violations? They rip off taxpayers and seniors and yet they are still here. Do you know what happens to providers when fraud is perpetrated? They are kicked out or go to jail.

@united Can you explain to me why I can’t use my children’s flight credits that I booked and paid for? Other than “it’s in the guidelines”?

None of the 5 customer service agents told me that before cancelling. And I don’t have 2 hours to read through your contract of carriage

[Rob Kendall @RobMKendall]

Watching @indgop turn on their once gold standard for a mayor in Greg Ballard, in a matter of hours to defend a complete scumbag in Diego Morales is just priceless.

[Ross Mirman @RossMirmanMD]

Yes, you should

[SAUCE GARDNER @iamSauceGardner]

should I lock Alec Pierce in my basement and force him to sign the contract papers?

[Randy Rhodes @randy_rhodes123]

Our monthly delivery from @costplusdrugs. $13k a month on “insurance.” Less than $40 a month from @mcuban ‘s Cost Plus Drugs. One pill a day that means the literal difference between life and death.

[Ross Mirman @RossMirmanMD]

@tmhuston Why would you kill the bill banning local government from buying luxury vehicles with our money??

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

Great job @HawleyMO & @SenWarren LOVE THIS.

Anyone in Congress that doesn’t support this, doesn’t want lower cost healthcare for Americans.

This is a no brainer. Let’s hope @POTUS puts his weight behind this

Let's see what the deal is, but love Zubac, and have for awhile.
