In case anyone still had any doubts about whether the insurance industry, and UnitedHealthcare in particular, is a morally bankrupt, evil monolith that profits from suffering and deserves nothing short of a complete and utter dismantling: cnbc.com/amp/2025/04/11…

If you graduate residency with a $3,500/month student loan payment (on a fixed 10yr term) assuming no PSLF (because who knows how long that will be around) You need to be taking home (after taxes) at $23,000/month for that payment to feel “comfortable” (15% of take home). The

Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. Congressman, your comment reflects a dangerous misunderstanding of what modern healthcare work actually entails—and frankly, it’s part of the problem. You talk about “devotion” and “dedication” as if those words can power a broken system. As if moral injury, burnout, suicide,

Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. Maybe your clan can fix all of the ways the job is difficult. The easiest part is taking care of patients. The government is responsible for most of the difficulty in healthcare. Amazing that you would post this crap knowing what the problem is.

Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. Have you listened to them explain what exactly is so hard about the job? Because it’s not patient care that they’re complaining about.

Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. Except the hard part isn’t the taking care of patients. It’s the administrative loopholes, politization of science, governmental overreach, and greedy insurance companies. Maybe you could focus on helping make it easier for us to really help patients instead of judging.

Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. Rather than weaponizing the concept of calling to promote acceptance of an untenable system, perhaps someone who left medicine to enter politics could now exercise their power to reduce the administrative burden on those of us who still practice? I only want to care for patients

Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. If it's about being devoted why did you leave clinical practice?

Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. Is that why you chose to be a congressman, doing nothing meaningful for constituents yet getting rich? When was the last time you saw 20+ patients, read multiple studies, supervised learners, talk to nurses and collaborate with other physicians and NP/PA in a single day? 👂 🙄

Remember, primary care is reimbursed really well (facility fees to hospitals are enormous) -- it's just the professional fees to the physicians that are abysmal. Conveniently, this difference allows hospitals (while profiting massively) to delude MDs into believing they lose $.

They already do this, this is stupid, and it is just scapegoating physicians for the failures of our society, government, and culture. It’s clownish and pathetic:

Not sure how “be nice to people” got me dragged into the masking debate. We have a personal take on it—but it’s ours. My daughter has an autoimmune condition. Early on, she was prone to URIs. We masked everywhere. No hesitation. We were cautious, because we didn’t know what we
