“These sophisticated traps are designed to pay off certain members of the supply chain in a way that exploits the employer, the insurance company and the consumer.” https://t.co/xAUyj03f7A via @business

[Surgery Center of OK @SurgeryCenterOK]

Because they forego their skimming opportunity to apply a "discount." "Shunning" is part of the contracting tradition with large hospital systems, as well. GKS https://t.co/xsCtCPI7Mw

"The federal government spent $341 billion from 2014 through 2016 to increase private coverage by just 1.7 million people. ... That’s $200,000 per person." https://t.co/J55DkzR9bH

Medicare Advantage Plans Cleared To Go Beyond Medical Coverage — Air conditioners, healthy groceries, and home-delivered meals may be among the new benefits added to Medicare Advantage coverage when new federal rules take effect next year. https://t.co/jIAhXWYnZx

And healthcare has suffered...big business. What #DPC docs could do for pennies on the dollar and actually provide good care...smh https://t.co/HjM9Tl6Fvv

"Crony capitalists, academic institutions, select nonprofits, and state bureaucracies are raking in enormous sums. Ordinary Americans are paying the price." https://t.co/yIngzPNweG

"If government officials cannot find the courage to return control of health care to patients and their doctors, American health care quality will continue to erode." https://t.co/aV4iHsyonz

"Total increase in payments to [Medicare Advantage] insurers is estimated to be about 6.5%, on average, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said in a statement Monday." https://t.co/9im2rrryDE via @business

[Christopher G. Adamo @CGAdamo]

@AAPSonline @kksheld Also, the drastic reduction in the quality of "care" should be mentioned. It results from the interference and red-tape of the Federal government, that prevents Doctors from doing what they know is best. Worst part is that the GOP has now become fully complicit in this!

"If the only state-based insurance reform plan proposed to date violates Graham-Cassidy, then how much 'flexibility' does the legislation really provide?" https://t.co/rk7VY3WHrb

Single-payer has failed terribly in the United Kingdom and Canada. Resurrecting the model in the United States would be disastrous. More in @forbes: https://t.co/thgvqSmVqC

@AAPSonline @business These are not “private plans”! These are govt subsidized products. Just like ACA plans are not private plans. I won’t use the f(fascist) word, but govt control of “private” business means it’s not private sector.

@GHalv I can name one! Dr. Adam Harris! Across the hall from my office!

@tsegerblom Could you take five minutes and read this? Opioid Overdose Crisis Is from Illicit Fentanyl https://t.co/hnaQ8HC3NY via @aapsonline

[Dr. Kube @DrRichardKube]

They are targeting the wrong people. While there are bad apples in healthcare, the illicit drugs are a far worse problem and the real epidemic. It would be more effective to target that crowd. These actions will only scare good physicians into withholding necessary prescriptions. https://t.co/tUIA85p0Rg

"The conventional wisdom is that comparatively few doctors want to accept Medicaid because it pays so much less than Medicare or private insurance. Medicaid is also a bigger administrative hassle, according to new research ... ." https://t.co/pH2J3rW6e2 #axiosvitals
