RFK Jr. went to Samoa in June 2018, spreading anti-vax disinfo and boosting a local anti-vaxxer

In November 2018, Samoa had a huge measles outbreak, exacerbated by anti-vax disinfo

83 people died - mostly children

How many American children are about to die because of RFK Jr.?

Finished operating with my colleagues on a 4 year old with a fractured thigh bone and multiple severed tendons in the hand. Maybe the German Foreign Minister can explain to him why it is necessary for him to go through life with these injuries and a dead mother and 2 siblings.

For someone with a new diagnosis of a metastatic smoking-related malignancy, sensationalizing the smoking history in the intro or summary statement feels not only clinically moot, but also unkind

No one in their right mind can argue this is ok. Fanta in the UK has orange juice and colored with carrots and pumpkin while they use HFCS and toxic petroleum dyes in US. @CocaCola time to stop doing this to your own American citizens.

One of the biggest problems in the U.S. is we rarely include white collar crime in our “tough on crime” rhetoric, but it is in fact white collar crime that is destroying our country.

Frederick Banting was awarded the US patent for insulin in 1923 & sold it for $1, saying: “Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world”

But by 2019, 1 out of every 4 patients who needed it was unable to afford insulin!

Shameful! @CVSHealth @ExpressScripts @OptumRx

.@Cigna is suing the FTC to redact its report on Pharmacy Benefit Managers.

Why? Probably because @ExpressScripts doesn't want it known they charge $3,613 for a $65 cancer drug.

I’m hearing so many people cite conflict of interest as the reason physicians shouldn’t own hospitals. This also happens to be the main strategy the American Hospital Association used to lobby Congress to ban POHs in the Affordable Care Act, paving the way for the consolidated corporate nightmare we enjoy today.

The conflict of interest argument is absurd in a for profit healthcare system. Hospitals force their employed physicians to refer to other specialists within their own hospital system. Physicians recommend surgery then do the surgery themselves collecting both a clinic fee and a surgery fee. Optum forces patients to see their doctors, use their pharmacies, and be admitted to their own hospitals. If there is profit to be made in patient care, there will be a conflict of interest among the entities/people collecting that profit. The closest thing to a conflict of interest free system is one that is devoid of profit. Call me cynical, but that will not happen in the US.

So we can wring our hands about the potential corruption and malfeasance evil greedy doctors will inflict upon our great country if physicians owned hospitals, while ignoring the actual corruption and malfeasance already displayed by hospital corporations.

We can ignore data that shows POHs as a whole (~250 in the US, holdovers from pre-ACA times) have better outcomes at lower costs.

Or we can introduce some actual competition in the healthcare marketplace to give patients a chance for better care from people who actually got into this business to treat patients, care that is not dictated by a private equity company or insurance company.

Just give physicians a chance to show that we can do a better job. That’s all we’re asking. If we suck at it, we won’t get very far, right? Isn’t that what the free market is for?

Repeal the ban on physician owned hospital.
