D.O. Match rates within 1% of MD’s now

🤝

Tons of my D.O. mentees are the “first D.O. to match at their hospitals/programs”

That was me 5 years ago with Vascular🥹

Dreaming of a medical school like this. Lean curriculum, centered on the best resources, optimized for efficiency.

The only reasonable function of a health insurance company is to pay bills, not to manage care.
The only reasonable decision-makers in health care are patients and their doctors.

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Every professional organization in medicine should denounce the involvement of private equity in healthcare. They should send a clear message to their young physician members that PE is bad for hospitals, private practices, and patients.

They won’t do it, but they should.

[Robert Berry, DO @txsportsdoc]

@DutchRojas 👇 Need to pay for healthcare like anything else in a free market and have a stop loss catastrophic plan for serious things. Raise the contribution to HSA plans similar to what a family pays for premiums like $36,000/yr then let it be transferable at death

Let Physicians Own Hospitals Again – It’s Time to Repeal the Ban

The ban on physician-owned hospitals is a gift to large health systems and a disaster for competition.

Lifting the ban could create 1,000-1,500 new hospitals in the next 7-10 years particularly in underserved rural areas.

The result? $35-50 billion in savings for taxpayers (CMS) and better care for patients.

Physicians MUST be owners, not employees of the bureaucrats running health systems.

Want to know one of the biggest problems in healthcare? Deductibles.

Deductibles are defined by the plans the insurance companies design. Then they are approved to be offered by the feds or employers. Then we the people decide what deductible we want when we choose our plans.

Often we choose higher deductibles because we are healthy or because we can only afford the lowest premium plan.

When we got get care and can't pay our deductible for whatever reason, you know who takes all the credit risk and losses?
Doctors, hospitals and caregivers

They have ZERO to do with designing, selling or choosing the plans.

But when you can't pay, they are the ones that become the bill collectors we hate. The ones that put millions into default and bankruptcy,
DESPITE HAVING NO SAY in the plans and deductibles we all choose.

That is one fucked up system that needs to be redesigned.

Next time I'll tell you how insurance companies decide not to pay what they contractually owe to the hospitals and use delay tactics like denials, they know they will approve , just to earn interest on premiums.

And the hospitals aren't innocent. But I'll let them off the hook for now because they have to take anyone that walks in the doors

Hospital food is horrific and their sheets, towels, pillows aren't fit for your worst enemy. American medicine will reimburse for unnecessary $200,000 medications, but not basic human comforts.

[Robert Berry, DO @txsportsdoc]

Our profession has a serious problem with “colleagues” that get paid to:
1. Deny care for patients while being paid by insurance companies for peer to peers
2. “Expert”s who testify against colleagues for large somes of money.
These grifters drive up cost of care,raise insurance premiums for patients and doctors.
What should we do with them?

[Jason Ryan @jasonryanmd]

I see your point and if PDs truly know the strength of training at each medical school, then factoring the school in is fair. But I worry they favor schools with prestige, or schools they know well, over ones they may simply be unfamiliar with. This can put strong applicants at a disadvantage solely based on their school.

[Dutch Rojas @DutchRojas]

Healthcare needs a commodities exchange—one where:

Physicians set prices in advance
Employers lock in care at fixed prices
Risk is transferred from payers to market participants

We do this for everything else in the economy.
Why not healthcare?

I asked the CVS Caremark CEO how much he’s charging for a $16 drug for multiple sclerosis.

Answer: $6,229.

Yeah, that‘s a 38,000% markup from this Fortune 10 PBM.

Here are some more of my favorite facts! Maybe these will spark conversation with a friend or help you win a couple points at your next trivia night! What is your favorite random fact?

[Dutch Rojas @DutchRojas]

A physician I know performed a complex surgery at a hospital.

Health System billed: $78,000
Health System Paid: $40,000
Physician Reimbursement: $1,100

Health Systems take the lion’s share.
Physicians take the hit.

No physician wants to be employed.
