@FamiliesUSA Greetings from North Carolina and am so proud of my home state!!! 600,000 amazing North Carolinians will now be able to access health care for their families because @NC_Governor Roy Cooper worked so hard with the NC Legislature to make this happen!! bravo!!

This week, we sent a letter to the House urging them to prioritize common sense solutions to lower health care prices by advancing the site neutral, billing transparency, and price transparency policies outlined in the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act. You can read our full letter to Congress here: https://t.co/bvcjUOhbgA

Big health care corps are driving up the price of care, leaving patients, families, small businesses & taxpayers to bear the burden. Our coalition is dedicated to taking a stand against these massive hospital chains that have turned health care into big business. #SameServiceSamePrice

[Families USA @FamiliesUSA]

When you go to the doctor, the standard should be #SameServiceSamePrice. No one should pay an additional fee just because corporate interests decided that furniture and a few lamps count as expenses. See more from @FamiliesUSA's @FrederickIsasi, quoted by @misswilson @POLITICOpro

Fiasp cost Medicare Part D $2.5 billion in the last year, meanwhile Novo Nordisk, the company that produces it, made $25 billion last year. It’s clear it is time to #PayLessForRx. Do you take Fiasp? Message us to share your story!

Together w/ @CommunityCatalyst & @NPWF, we at @FamiliesUSA penned a @Health_Affairs blog outlining how value-based care & delivery remains a promising path to a modernized & resilient health care delivery system that puts individuals at the center of their care & values everyone’s health equally.

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In their new Forefront article @jocelyncfrye @FrederickIsasi + @Emily_Stewart_ of @NPWF @FamiliesUSA + @CommCatHealth discuss how individuals, patients + families can be best served by accountable care models that center on individual needs + preferences. https://t.co/WhBgiWc0Ay

Today, @CMSGov announced the first 10 drugs covered under #Medicare Part D selected for Medicare drug price negotiation. Negotiations with participating drug companies will occur in 2023 & 2024, and any negotiated prices will become effective in 2026. https://t.co/KJ7H8n4QdG

[Families USA @FamiliesUSA]

If you are a patient that relies on one or more of these 10 RX drugs, your prices are going down in 2026!! 👏#PayLessForRX #NegotiationStartsNow

Taking mifepristone off the market "threatens the health and well-being of individuals and also results in increased health care costs." Says @FamiliesUSA's @FamilyHealthBen in a new article from @SHRM: https://t.co/J00A5LTzvf

[Families USA @FamiliesUSA]

These results underscore the promise of alternative payment models to drive improvements in how health care is delivered and to help truly align the health care system with the interests of our nation's families. Read the full report from @CMSGov here: https://t.co/SO8Ew1F0Nj

This marks the 6th year in a row MSSP generated net savings for Medicare. It has also improved health care quality, with ACOs performing better on a number of measures related to diabetes, blood pressure control, and preventive cancer & behavioral health screenings & follow up!

[Families USA @FamiliesUSA]

🧵Great news from @CMSgov! The Medicare Share Savings Program (MSSP) saved Medicare $1.8 billion 2022, with 63% of accountable care organizations (ACOs) earning payments for their performance!

"The cost of a sick visit also is a disincentive to visit the doctor, potentially putting patients’ health at risk. We always see people avoid care when they don’t think that they can pay for the costs.” said @cparcham of @FamiliesUSA: “ Via @_BenLeonard_ https://t.co/CNI5WMCZLT

.@ariellesophia, the head of #Medicaid Initiatives for @FamiliesUSA told @Verywell that using “existing programs and the retail fronts where people already get flu shots and interact with the health care system on a daily basis makes perfect sense.” https://t.co/w5K4KzXHoh

1 in 5 adults are facing symptoms of anxiety and depressive disorders, yet mental health services are often overlooked in insurance coverage. Today’s @POTUS proposed rule would increase the utilization of mental health & substance use care. Get the facts: https://t.co/CGjLpEEoka

Families’ health & financial well-being shouldn’t hang in the balance due to hidden fees and abusive industry practices. While we appreciate the Ways and Means price transparency efforts, the legislation falls short of what Americans deserve. Our comment: https://t.co/i9zdzkUEYh
