Reuniting the physician and patient in a proactive partnership. Keeping the cost of medical care affordable and known to our patients. #DirectPrimaryCare.

[Dutch Rojas @DutchRojas]

The majority of Americans had no idea the Affordable Care Act made it illegal for physicians to own hospitals.

Instead the politicians thought it best to have insurance companies and bankers own hospitals.

It’s time to repeal this portion of the ACA.

[Dutch Rojas @DutchRojas]

How many times do we have to talk about this?

It’s insane.

American lawmakers traded in physician ownership of hospitals for insurance, banker, and lawyer ownership.

They sold out the American people long ago.

This is why we cant progress with healthcare that is affordable and makes sense for folks...even smart billionaire entrepreneurs don’t understand that HC insurance is NOT ins but it’s overpriced & inflated prepaid care with middlemen making all the money. @dpcalliance @AtlasMD

[Dr. Shane @docshanep]

Oh wow...#Medicare is cutting pay to docs on 2021 just in time to help patients with #COVID19. Meanwhile, expenses to run an office keep going up. Glad I opted out of MC years ago. Have no idea how private #primarycare will survive. @dpcalliance #directprimarycare

Hospital debtors prison in Kansas (earlier story) and now this in South Carolina. As the "fire dept" of our healthcare system, what are the good reasons why hospitals shouldn't receive a fixed budget every year like locally accountable fire depts? https://t.co/0zLRDuPJLf

North Carolina recently passed a law protecting Direct Primary Care (DPC) practices, defining them as separate from insurance. SC is now the only state in the South without a similar law on the books.

So proud to see NC pass a #DPC law for protection. Praise to @philsq @kstrep44 and all involved. Well Done. NOW, when will South Carolina do it. SC is the LAST state in the south with NO DPC law. @aafp @SCAFP_FamilyDoc @PalmettoPromise @dpcalliance

[Lawson Mansell @lawsonhmansell]

I had the opportunity to speak with some Direct Primary Care doctors in South Carolina during the early stages of COVID-19 about testing, telemedicine, access, and the move back towards "old school medicine" @docshanep @thatsproactive

@foolish_prof Hey 👋. Great to see and hear from you. I still have my Homepage Deliveries shirt. We were DoorDash @Grubhub @UberEats @hubcitydelivery of the 1990s. No cell phones. Land lines, short wave radios and a map on the wall. Good times old friend.

Should've repealed CON law.
@SCGOV listening?!

[Palmetto Promise @PalmettoPromise]

NEW: South Carolina's CON regulations on hospital beds could hinder hospitals' ability to treat patients during peak outbreak of the coronavirus.

Will SC find a way to temporarily waive these requirements in light of the crisis?

Health care would cost less if we had more public accountability for things like THIS: Stanford's $143,000 BREAST BIOPSY!?! Doctors should be leaders in addressing this problem affecting OUR patients & med societies should speak up rather than be silent. @ZDoggMD @SAGES_Updates

[Dr. Shane @docshanep]

We keep #directprimarycare rolling. Working it hard in SC with @directaccessMD @thatsproactive Dr J and also Dr Lori Carnsew at Variety Health. #dpc for the win @dpcalliance

[Brennen Hodge @BrennenHodge]

This is when you know it's time to change the game.

"The cost difference is so large that the state's insurance program for public employees can pay for each patient’s flight, give them a $500-per-trip bonus and still save tens of thousands of dollars."

Big thanks to @PalmettoPromise for working to lower the cost of health care in SC!

Hey @ScottAdamsSays is health ins a good example of #loserthink? https://t.co/W0DWmCMIkX #directcare is fixing that with unlimited visits, no copays, free procedures, wholesale meds/labs for 95% savings and up to 60% savings on ins

[Dr. Shane @docshanep]

CFOs and all the C suit team need to work with benefits advisors that understand #DPC and self funded plans. @HealthRosetta @dpcalliance
