@mcuban I’ve ran analyses that averaged 500% and the highest was 1700% from wholesale price shipped…

Great advice

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

In healthcare, if you can schedule it, you can negotiate a cash price that is often better than what your insurance company can negotiate.

[Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital]

Thank you for everything you hilariously wrong man.

Manufacturer money reaches your PBM under many names: rebate, admin fee, data fee, price protection. Your pass-through clause captures exactly one of those words. The other checks clear just fine. They simply never reach your plan.

[Dara @dara_venture]

most founders think the game is product, capital, and hustle. It’s not.

you either have the stomach to look at zero traction for 9 months and still ship the next version, or you don’t.

you either can take the silence from customers and investors without spiraling, or you break.

the market doesn’t care about your feelings.

[VCs Congratulating Themselves 👏👏👏 @VCBrags]

VCs: "Gambling is a predatory vice that destroys lives. I'd never touch it."

Also VCs: "I made my bet early, I even doubled down. They are a real blue chip team. I had conviction in my stake and had to let my winners ride. Pushed all my chips in."

@PattyMurray This is meme level stupid...

JUST IN: Nearly 75% of active fund managers failed to beat the S&P 500 over the last 12 months, per WSJ

@andruyeung Now this is some quality rage bait...

[Patrick Birde @PatBirde]

@mcuban @JonnyBoy_2 It was an afterthought to this, I guess I coulda put it in the same thread...

[Patrick Birde @PatBirde]

Focusing on Part D and not removing patient protections. We can cut the chaff that requires gigantic back offices. I’d focus on cutting CMS admin burden, simplifying reporting/audits (there's a lot of BS here), modernizing prior auth & appeals (get rid of the snail mail paperwork), and allowing more flexible contracting/pricing transparency... As you probably know there's a lot of duplicative busy work that really just serves to create high barriers to entry for the small players.

@mcuban I am full of good ideas Mark, you could always hire me! I did work at a tech enabled PBM startup. And, I promise I come at a good price. I am aggressively looking for a job right now... Had to shoot my shot ;)

[Patrick Birde @PatBirde]

@ARKInvest @TashaARK 30 Trillion dollars by 2030!? That's almost the entire US GDP! That would take tens of millions of robotaxis!? Capital does not overcome the physical realities of scaling. Nvm all the other very real hurdles (legal, adoption, etc.)

[Vinod Khosla @vkhosla]

I have been saying this forever. Just google “90% of vc’s add no value…70% add negative value “ and my name likely pops up.

[Patrick Birde @PatBirde]

This is tulip mania level delusion. It's hard to not wonder if this is nothing but a publicity stunt... Or worse, we are in a GIGANTIC bubble...
