Did @FoxBusiness just become the first major television network to spotlight the fraud & abuse in the federal 340 program?! A program that is driving up billions in costs for patients, taxpayers employers. Great coverage by @MorningsMaria @MariaBartiromo @GerriWillisFBN

[Katie Miller @KatieMiller]

@Jason @joerogan @TomCruise Too many women are overprescribed SSRIs in college and postpartum as a first line treatment.

Instead of learning useful coping skills, most doctors immediately turn to antidepressants that women never get off.

It’s a dangerous and toxic cycle.

Many schools and some fire districts are the major culprits in the property tax discussion.

[Brandon Brown @BBrownIndy]

When Indiana reporters claim that school districts are losing lots of money from recent property tax reforms, what they really mean is that districts now can expect smaller increases than previously projected after years of record growth in assessed values.

🚨 JUST IN: In a huge victory, Sec. RFK Jr. confirmed today is the first day ALL hospital executives will be mandated to attest their posted prices are accurate

"If hospitals mislead patients or fail to disclose actual prices, we will hold them accountable."

I voted for this!

[Tyler Johnson, DO @sendrjohnson]

The honest discussions around the harms of massively overprescribing antidepressants is well overdue.

[Adam Urato, MD @AdamUrato1]

A simple question led to awkward silence:

Shouldn't we warn pregnant women & the public about SSRIs in pregnancy given the clear signals of harm?

[Tyler Johnson, DO @sendrjohnson]

@DutchRojas As you are aware getting a a cohesive movement of change in the public space can be difficult.

I’m going to bed. What an embarrassingly bad job by the Allen County Election Board.

US nonprofit hospitals spent $7.8 billion on management consultants from 2009 to 2023, but contracts were not associated with meaningful changes in finance, operations, or quality of care. 🧵

People in healthcare are not afraid of hard work—in fact, they love it. It’s tedious tasks THAT DON’T MATTER that drive burnout.

@DrDiGiorgio @anish_koka Government math

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Brutal.

Courtesy in large part by the federal government.

@PaleoGOP We went in front of the house and it created a beautiful setting

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

CMS Deputy Administrator Chris Klomp: 1 in 4 Americans don’t pick up their prescriptions because they can’t afford it. That’s a moral failure—and that ENDS with Most Favored Nation policy, led by President Trump. It means that we will not pay more for a drug than any other wealthy country, starting now.

@robert_kruse15 @realDonaldTrump Thanks

[Tyler Johnson, DO @sendrjohnson]

Thank you Mr President! We will continue to work hard trying to do the right thing the right way.

Our current healthcare system is exactly what our predecessors designed it to be.

[Jared Rhoads @jaredrhoads]

"Regulated firms whose explicit financial profit rate is restricted have every incentive to allow costs to rise, taking various benefits in nonpecuniary forms, such as fringe benefits (especially for management), more relaxed (inefficient) management, less innovative activity and the headaches it brings, less unpleasantness such as firing people or hiring associates who are offensive in manner, race, or sex. In addition, the more costs the regulated firm can accumulate--and get the regulatory agency to accept as valid--the higher its total profits at a given rate of profit."

If anyone ever needs a Sowell passage that can be applied to health insurance and the MLR, here you go. Knowledge and Decisions, p198.

@SpineNeuro This is a long time in the making. Hospitals blame regulation the most but admin is self propagating.

[Tyler Johnson, DO @sendrjohnson]

@DrDiGiorgio @HouseCommerce Thanks for doing this.
