“The reason why we don’t shop around for our care or demand agency over it is because the system isn’t designed for us. It is not thinking about our convenience, or even our overall well-being.
“Instead, it’s about keeping us under control. To bilk us.” https://t.co/ecDFEA68CE
NEW for @BarredOwlPress: Hundreds, maybe thousands, of Florida Medicaid kids are at risk of losing care because a state contractor stopped paying their health providers.
These are Florida's most vulnerable, medically needy children.

My Friday @BarredOwlPress newsletter is out: "One hospital executive's vision for health care:
"Making hospitals proactive and efficient could have a dramatic effect on the patient experience."
It's about @alevine014's talk at the Gov. Club on Wed. 👀

One more thing: The health system is a product, and it is a shit product.
It's anti-competitive, wildly overpriced and stuck in early 1990s technology.
I'm a firm believer in @BarredOwlPress' mission to empower patients to change that.

This is not an issue of convenience, although it should be.
As @KKriseman wrote last week, getting patients to "buy in" on their health is CRITICAL to health outcomes.
I can't "buy in" if I'm the only person in the room who doesn't know what's going on.
