If you compare the effects of a diet restricting fructose from both added sugars and fruits to one that restricts fructose only from added sugars, people lost more weight even with the extra fruit than those whose diet restricted all fructose. https://t.co/mkWJxtyXjM

Every physician who sells their practice to private equity is choosing to make health care worse for everybody. I hope the money helps you sleep at night, because you have made life worse for every single patient and employee walking into your PE Daddy’s practice.

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

This is great but I didn’t reveal anything. I just summarized the US health insurance business model.

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

When private equity acquires a medical practice, they usually include wording in the contract preventing employees from disparaging the PE firm, so you can’t believe anything a doctor owned by PE says about PE.

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Hey @AnthemBCBS you need to fix this. Let doctors do their job and stop practicing medicine without a license.

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

I hear so many awful stories about insurance denials for inflammatory bowel disease. Do they just not believe these diseases exist or what? @AnthemBCBS @UHC @Cigna @Aetna can I send you guys a Wikipedia article or something?

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

The @ahahospitals is opposing removal of non-compete clauses “on behalf of 270,000 affiliated physicians.” Something tells me they didn’t ask for physician input on this. Feel free to let the AHA know your thoughts. @FTC

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Non-compete clauses

[Lauren Weber @LaurenWeberHP]

Private equity groups are scooping up eye care physician practices nationwide as money-making opportunities grow as the U.S. population ages.

And as billions pour into the space, costs are going up.

Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file.

Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.
