@CologneMar80199 @GuntherEagleman Correction: city not county and minimal not no crime

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@CologneMar80199 @GuntherEagleman There is one county in America where it’s a law to carry a gun. There is no crime in that county.

That needs to be the control study

@Madbox_Pro What if a woman fits many of the above categories? Is she then SUPER WIFE material 🤪

Sen. Chris Garten and Republicans admit it in their statements: there were more votes recorded than voters reported at Jeffersonville High School.

I'm proposing a new healthcare system called Quality Care for All.

I agree with the goals of Medicare for All. Care should cost less, nobody should go broke because they got sick, and everyone should be able to get quality care when they need it.

However, coverage for all is not the same as quality care for all. A coverage card does not create more doctors, shorten a wait, or make sure a patient can get an appointment. Moving toward a one payer government system does not fix any of this.

People look at American healthcare and conclude the free market failed. What we have right now is not a free market. It is crony capitalism and regulatory capture. The biggest hospital systems, insurers, and middlemen have spent decades shaping rules that protect them. Hospitals buy up physician practices and then add facility fees to the same visit in the same office, a second charge an independent practice can never bill. Prices stay hidden, so nobody can compete on them. Only 35 percent of physicians have an ownership stake in their own practice, down from 53 percent in 2012.

Quality Care for All takes a different route. Insurance built to protect against catastrophe, with far lower premiums because it stops prepaying for routine care. Tax free health savings accounts for every American, with no contribution limits. Prices posted upfront, and cash pay for routine care. A real safety net for people who cannot afford care, spendable at any practice they choose. Site neutral payment, so the facility fee game ends. Insurers held legally accountable when a wrongful denial harms a patient.

Competition has proven what it can do. LASIK is one of the few areas of healthcare where patients pay directly and prices are advertised, and the price has stayed flat in dollars for over 25 years while the technology improved dramatically. Cash pay surgery centers publish their prices online, and common procedures there cost a fraction of the hospital price for the same operation.

Lower costs, more choice, real access to quality care, and a safety net that is there when people need it. Those are the goals. Quality Care for All is how we reach them.

@attackdogX The goal was to divide us. It’s currently working and it’s destroying America

[Indiana Democratic Party @INDems]

The whole country should pay attention to what is happening in Clark County, Indiana.

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@GunGnome @elonmusk Agreed!

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@elonmusk @TheRabbitHole How is it free speech when it’s accepted when used by some and abhorrent for others?

Seems like a double standard

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@DrDejac @molsjames I’ve seen this before. It’s predatory and anticompetitive behavior and puts patients lives in jeopardy

@Lerianis1 @ttmelater @UziCryptoo Explain how those who lose their dentures seem to be ok? Teeth not necessary with a soft diet

@ElegantExigence @WildSentences @Dylan_Housman 😳😳😳 my eyes just popped out of my head. Omg we are doomed

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@CindysMomtwitch @GFsomewhere @DrDiGiorgio The stock market shows us there is no LOSS occurring 😝

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@CindysMomtwitch @DrDiGiorgio I do my own billing and AR. I’ve done my own coding as well. Many independent clinics don’t outsource billing.

Pretty sure I know insurance like I know my name now! Your post is a generalization statement and those are a slippery slope on social media….

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@CindysMomtwitch @DrDiGiorgio So the ones providing the care aren’t the expert? Since when did a business major have a say in which treatment you need to save your life????

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@ttmelater @UziCryptoo 💯

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@ElegantExigence @WildSentences @Dylan_Housman Why!? Writing papers is part of the learning and challenging part of education. It forces the mind to executively think

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@eddchii @willywonkamaga @Jacksonsrule @grok Because it doesn’t change the cost of the insurance. Just who’s footing the bill. Insurance is meant for catastrophic problems. When the ACA forced primary routine and preventative care in the mix it became unaffordable

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@WildSentences It also should be clarified that the AI was informed to pretend to be a certain doctor writing said excuses

[Meagan Says So @meagansaysso]

@WildSentences had to terminate an employee for sending chatGPT work excuses in. She had chatGPT open also on her work computer where we saw it all SMH
