[Marion E Mass, M.D. #patientsfirst #scrubsnotsuits @mass_marion]

Thanks @SenateHELP, especially @RogerMarshallMD and @SenMullin for exposing the #PBM creating Swiss #GPO and sending their rebate check to those GPO.

You can watch the @SenateHELP hearings on affordable Insulin here: https://t.co/uJItU9lqe1
I'm asking my own @SenBobCasey to hold #PBMs accountable for manipulating #insulin prices.
Ask the hard questions of @PhRMA too!
The big Insulin makers and the big PBM will be In the HOT seats!
What fun! Bring 🍿

@mass_marion @US_FDA @notaproviderMD Thank you, Dr. Mass

@PaulNWilliamz They want you to send your patient to pay out of pocket. Walmart or good rx might cost less than your time

[Dutch Rojas @DutchRojas]

Hospitals are paid more, often 3-5x, for the same treatment / service performed outside a hospital by an independent physician.

Average MRI:
$3,200 vs $500

Average scheduled Hernia:
$13,800 vs $5,000

Average diagnostic Colonoscopy:
$5,800 vs $1,550

Average knee replacement:
$42,339 vs $19,000

I could go on and on.

Wait, I’ve shared similar posts more than 1,0000 times in the last 11 years.

Not #healthcare

[Dr. M @MDDrMc]

@PedsMamaDoc @mdstrickland13 @InfoNbpas No
It is point less. Except for those trying to keep docs from working while those with minimal training can replace docs for profits

[Michael D Strickland 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇪🇺🇨🇦🇯🇵🇹🇼🇦🇺 @mdstrickland13]

Congratulations and Gratitude ⁦@InfoNbpas⁩ for a decade+ of achievement for patient and profession.

Drs, stop paying the rich baron at abim to "certify" you, and get back to caring for your patients as only you know how. NBPAS will show you how.

Flying #JetBlue today from Boston 4pm
Very rude gate agent. I used to love JB. Today I wished we spent our money elsewhere

[Alex Shteynshlyuger MD @DrAlexUrology]

@mass_marion And this. https://t.co/PPyUFydphx

Hey, Scooby... get a clue about who really makes healthcare costs soar! Finding out about the PBM and making them accountable is way better than a Scooby Snack! #PBM #medtwitter #patientsoverprofits #takebackmedicine https://t.co/fcpOeHQvQO

@PPA_USA Too many FAT CATS 🐈 stuffing their pockets…

[Leah Houston MD @LeahHoustonMD]

@PPA_USA Physicians are way too trusting, the fact that we will help us for so long is really bad, it’s time to #TakeMedicineBack

[Practicing Physicians of America @PPA_USA]

The Amer Board of Pediatrics (ABP) ⬆️ the contribution to it's employees pensions by 4x?
Employees getting 4x the benefits?
That's MOC money, yes?
💵 pediatricians pay for a monopolized product that has no proof of helping patients?

Like Scrooge they'd take tiny Tim's Crutch

The youngest most diverse licensed doctors are completely excluded from Compact H8047/S2606 while older doctors 80% white men are "grandfathered" out of expensive onerous requirements of younger docs @projo @iandon @kathyprojo @WikiMOC @doctorwes @mass_marion

[Dr. M @MDDrMc]

The Compact is discriminatory mid-career and younger physicians, more likely to be female and persons of color, are subject to significantly higher requirements and expense than older physicians. @doctorwes @kurteichenwald @CharlesPKroll @DoctorDaleMD @TedNesi

[Dr. M @MDDrMc]

Lotsofmoney/promises flowingto Rhode Island lobbyists from privatebilliondollar testingcompany tied to a form of discriminatory physician Licensure H8047/S2606 excluding 36% of RI physicians @CharlesPKroll @iandon @doctorwes @kathyprojo @TedNesi @projo @mass_marion

[Dr. M @MDDrMc]

Discriminatory Rhode Island medCompact H8047/S2606 VP from billion dollar testing company required for physicians to join may have been given a private reception after testifying against local doctors fighting for patient choice and right to treat bills
