@PfafftownG @mcuban @HeathVeuleman @costplusdrugs @50 Therein lies the problem

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@tupawdrebuey @mcuban @HeathVeuleman @costplusdrugs @50 That’s not never.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@mcuban No. It’s extremely difficult for an employer to get any information from the insurer. They plead HIPAA, which may or may not be valid.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@mcuban @HeathVeuleman @costplusdrugs Hospitals have different prices for different customers - based on the customer insurance or lack thereof. Government gets the best price @50-60% of fee schedule, self pay gets the worst at 100%. Should be illegal.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@JayCollinsFL Let’s hope.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@JayCollinsFL Good. Keep talking policy.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@RonDeSantis Man, I’m going to miss you when you’re gone.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@DutchRojas Absolutely true. They want to keep the gravy train flowing, no matter what.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@DrAlexTatem And the AMA went along with it.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@adkravetz @mcuban @NephronPharm Big bucks for little return

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@mcuban @__kayhan @NephronPharm Exactly. It will be dead in the water.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@mcuban @ShellyBeck20 Never.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@DoctorTokuhara @mcuban Do you think they care enough to fight? The battle is now on several fronts. Limited license practitioners have taken over.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@mcuban @PalmerLuckey Keep fighting the fight. Soon you will have enough experience and knowledge to present reasonable ideas to congress.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@mcuban @calisurfsup Not unusual. I was self employed (MD) my out of pocket was $43,000.00 a year for my wife and I. Basic medical coverage. No pharmacy, no vision, no dental. No choice.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@mcuban @DoctorTokuhara Where were you 20 years ago? I’m grateful for your words and thoughts, but not hopeful for the future. Yet.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@mcuban You need to get the AMA and their coding nonsense out.

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@DutchRojas But they got funded

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@DutchRojas The greatest misnomer in history

[Mark Thomas @marktom59]

@mcuban I did house calls for 30 years. Great way to practice good medicine. I was $250,000 in debt, but free to practice as I wanted.
