Taking the Profession of Medicine from Corporate Interests and calling for a National Prohibition on the Corporate Practice of Medicine.

TONIGHT: I'm doing an event at 8:30 pm EST with @ApparentLiMD on Steward Health Care & the public health emergency caused by converting hospitals into ponzi schemes. Tell your clinician friends! (esp if the sight of a pizza box makes them borderline homicidal) Register here: https://t.co/cdDKzYzTNq

@RepBenBowman, @GovTinaKotek companies like United DeathCare don't care about the patient. They care about the bottomline. This opens the discussion of why corporations like @UHC encourage nurses to care for our elderly. The CPoM eliminates physician led care. We deserve better.

Let's join the fight to #TakeMedicineBack!

@Suburbanbella @ApparentLiMD @TakeMedBack We have to pull more people in. It’s shocking the amount of inertia. I really enjoyed the meeting and it was so great to see more people, pissed off but quite frankly there is way too much being OK with things the way they are we have to stop with learned helplessness ASAP.

Update to Word of The Day:

"Straw Doctors" by @moetkacik of @TheProspect

"But corporate backlash to HB 4130 has been swift and fierce. Both Amazon and UnitedHealth Group have retained lobbyists to oppose it..."

Word of the day:
"Captive Physician"
The term for a Physician by Wallstreet execs who enables the illegal and unethical Corporate Practice of medicine by owning an ER contract on paper but stripped of all power by the Corporate group in exchange for a fee.

@DGlaucomflecken @RepBenBowman Must read on this bill by @moetkacik of @TheProspect - Attack Of the Straw Doctors "Amazon and the Adderall pill-mill lobby blitz Oregon to kill a (tame) ‘corporate practice of medicine’ ban."

#DPC Docs - would you like to educate the public on what actual traditional medical practice looks like?

#MedTwitter call to action! support HB4130 to #TakeMedicineBack and End #CorporateMedicine

#PrivateEquity #HealthInsurance and #BigTech opposed this bill and that tells us plenty.

@RepBenBowman, @GovTinaKotek We know where PE has its hands patients suffer. The current CPoM is literally harming patients both in hospitals and nursing facilities. It puts profits before patients. Patients deserve better and that patient could be you any day.

[Mitchell Li MD @ApparentLiMD]

#MedTwitter - Industry is says that Oregon HB 4130 introduced by @RepBenBowman undermines "traditional" physician practice structures, like where non-physicians corporations like #PirateEquity, #HealthInsurance put profits over patients & ctrl physicians, & deny care. End #CPoM

[Take Medicine Back @TakeMedBack]

@DGlaucomflecken @RepBenBowman Ah yes, lawyers and PE are concerned that this law undermines the "traditional" physician practice structure of being controlled by #PrivateEquity vultures and Big Tech in order to gouge patients and exploit physicians and healthcare workers.

@Dallas_Holladay @DGlaucomflecken @ddayen

[Take Medicine Back @TakeMedBack]

To OR policymakers, remember that physicians owned by PE aren't allowed to speak ill of PE. HB4130 comes down to whether or not you think medical decisions should be made by physicians or by Wall Street profiteers. End #CorporateMedicine #CPoM #TakeMedicineBack @Hayrook

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

I definitely support Oregon HB 4130 put forth by @RepBenBowman. We need to take action to limit the rampant spread of private equity in health care. This is a good first step. You can contact Rep Bowman’s office to share your thoughts!

[Take Medicine Back @TakeMedBack]

@RobNosse @rep_goodwin @IamTravisNelson @CyrusforOregon @HaiforOregon @RepThuyTran @RepBenBowman For the policymakers following, you can see @alvarombedoya @FTC commissioner supports state prohibitions on CPoM as "tremendously important." @capitolforums @TeddyDowney

@RobNosse @rep_goodwin @IamTravisNelson @CyrusforOregon @HaiforOregon @RepThuyTran @RepBenBowman @alvarombedoya @FTC @capitolforums @TeddyDowney And @SenWarren similarly supports ending #CorporateMedicine and #PE in medicine.

HCA, The hospital system that owns over 180 hospitals and 3200 sites of patient care, responding to Stein lawsuit, says it never committed to quality care at Mission • Asheville Watchdog
Another reminder that consolidation is a bad trend in medicine

@Maratosflier @DGlaucomflecken @RepBenBowman That being said, PE is 10x worse than basically everything else... Anyway @SenWarren is on it in MA
