When PBMs negotiate and move 💴 with a pharmacy or a health insurer that they own:
Isn’t that money laundering?

[Marion E Mass, M.D. #patientsfirst #scrubsnotsuits @mass_marion]

So many flaws in the ACA.
For patients, the fatal one is that the bill’s basis was to provide coverage, not care.
And the profiteers lined up to feed at the trough

PPA's @mass_marion wrote in 2019, tying #PBM & #GPO via shared safe harbor for kickbacks.
Patients are paying more than ever, there are more shortages than ever and since that time over 117,000 physicians have left the practice of medicine

FIRST step in reducing healthcare costs is knowing where the 💰 is going.

@AjKavanaugh Go for it. Thanks. I am tired TBH. Physicians don’t rise up and work as a team. Is it arrogance, fear, or ignorance? Either way we are failing ourselves and our patients.

Remarkably, physician payments ⬇️
Hospital prices ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Physicians = 7.3% of the healthcare 💵
Hospitals around 31%

@ScholerinED Buildings cannot wear respirators. Healthcare providers tend to be ins companies.

@AdamDryfhout @greysen_paige Hey. There is no reason why an MD can’t provide as good care as a DO. Osteopathic medicine is the gold standard for primary care where all good care starts.

[Bruce @drbruceroy]

@AdamDryfhout Please don’t identify this person as a “surgeon.” His being a surgeon has nothing to do with ignorance.

When your colleague breaks the law to mislead patients, you should side with the patients.

Thank you Joni Mitchell. You are an amazing artist and philosopher. Appreciate you sharing it with us all these years. I hope the attendance of your 25,000 most avid fans, including Lady Gaga, touched you the way you have touched us.

[Bruce @drbruceroy]

@DrQuinn15 @pppforpatients If you don’t put your members first, nothing matters. Typical of all orgs to place others before DO/MDs. Learn from the past.
