Is #MedTwitter still a thing? Reading #CON applications showed me how much physician-led innovation gets denied.

@schulte_ss @DrBruggeman Doesn’t derail the bill-it helps the bill’s chances.

Mission HCA got $106 million in Medicaid SDPs in 2023. They are free to spend it all outside NC and likely will. NC legislature voted this $2.6 bill giveaway to NC hospitals cause feds paid 72%. @MarkMiller_DC

The blue line is what happened to staffing levels at Mission Health after the nonprofit hospital system was sold to publicly traded HCA in 2019.

@Angela_HSR Congrats Angela! Can’t wait to see all your great work to come.

Businesses are upset about the FTC's ban on noncompete clauses not because they will lose trade secrets or valuable employees, @BetseyStevenson says, but because they just lost bargaining power to workers https://t.co/iayPuIOmZT via @opinion

@B_Madden4 They still need capital.

1. Perhaps nowhere are the stakes of @FTC’s work higher than in healthcare markets.

My remarks to @AmerMedicalAssn noted just some of the ways that policy choices about how to structure markets affect patients and healthcare workers: https://t.co/GXfdUIQwiU

@dvasishtha All of health care be like “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”.

Business as usual in US healthcare.

[Ardis Watkins @ArdisWatkins]

This State Health Plan meeting is nuts. We’re being asked to accept that a 40% discount on a drug marked up 300% compared to what it’s sold for in Europe is a good deal. All at the expense of North Carolina public servants. Why the cost, CVS Caremark & @novonordisk? @seanc #ncpol

[Ann Kempski @kempann]

@MattDEisenberg I’m crashing it😉

[Ann Kempski @kempann]

@larry_levitt Some of us are obsessed about this.

[Ann Kempski @kempann]

You just can't make this stuff up. Two North Carolina mega "non-profit" hospital systems refuse to forgive patient debts. Claim it conflicts with their charity care policies and will discourage patients from enrolling in #Medicaid.

@IllinoisAnswers @MereNewman @grace_hauck Congrats Meredith! I look forward to reading more great work from you. Sad for Delaware though😢

@ariellemir02 Omg-add this to Dan’s podcast for duals dilemmas. How is this MA structure of cost-sharing permitted? Does MA OOP max kick in? https://t.co/vMHZxc4gQo

The state of Massachusetts did MGB a favor by demanding an improvement plan to rein in spending. More states should follow. https://t.co/r20JYY7mc9

Any & all value-based contracts going up in smoke. Any & all provider directories misleading enrollees. @Farzad_MD
