Leah Houston MD Walk away is the only solution. Physicians are begging at the feet of politicians to save us. They are mostly attorneys. So many tentacles earn a living of the backs of our labor. Zero chance they give it up. Veterinarians and Dentists wouldn't stand for it.

The physician shortage isn’t just about how many doctors we have. It’s about how much time we are forced to waste. Physicians in the U.S. spend an average of 16 hours per week on administrative tasks. Not optional work. Not inefficiency. But time we are required to spend—by

I am a Syrian Lebanese and Greek Orthodox Christian, and I rarely speak up on what may seem to be political matters, but I am speaking up today. My entire family on my mother’s side, fled Christian persecution in their respective countries in the early 1900s. My Lebanese and

Longevity is an answer to so many of the challenges facing America. → Exploding debt + deficits → Slowing GDP → Declining fertility We go into it in detail here (and details matter here, so it's worth the extra characters). nfx.com/post/longevity

Urgent Care and ER docs clean up the messes made by Tylenol-only surgeons and dentists . Happens all the time. Kolodny & Company have provoked dentists and surgeons into acting like damn fools. These cases need to be litigated.

This is ridiculous. Health insurer CEOs “commit” to reform prior auth. When can health insurer CEOs be trusted with a “commitment” They are laughing at Dr. Mehmet Oz and Donald J. Trump to the bank We need real accountability for health insurer abuses. Regulations, oversight, fines!

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt All these companies are funded by default using our savings and retirement funds. They have an "obligation to shareholders" as do our funds. The only way to stop this, is to opt out of the underlying broken system that feeds it, which is the dollar system. Bitcoin does this.

I love when smug healthcare policy wonks throw out that old “Medicare and Medicaid only have 2–5% administrative costs” line, as if it’s gospel truth and not a completely misleading stat from a 2011 Health Affairs article. Let’s unpack this nonsense because it violates basic

Went to pick up a prescription at the pharmacy and with my prescription card it was $467
. Cash price $63.40. Our healthcare and insurance system, and the Pharmacy benefit managers have created the biggest fraud machine I’ve ever seen.

The issue is people’s perception of care is that we must “do” something to them
. If nothing is “done” physically either through IV fluids or IV meds then they didn’t actually “get” care. It’s a purposful cultural creation by the hospitals, pharmacy, benefit managers, and the

DEAR ECONOMISTS, Please follow Marion E Mass, M.D. #patientsfirst #scrubsnotsuits and learn about the pharmacy benefit managers (PBM’s) and the group purchasing organizations (GPO’s) and how they collude with hospitals and price fix in order to justify their “rebates” (ahem

Rebel A. Cole Leah Houston MD What questions do you have ? Effectively the Ins Comps , which own the biggest PBMs , have all the leverage because they control the cash flow from and the services purchased by more than 250m members. Their PBMs have the same leverage for about the same number of lives.

Let’s be real. I spoke out against a big insurance company and now I’m being punished for it. But I’m not giving up. It’s not in my blood. I heard you asking, and if you would like to help, I’ve started a gofundme (linked below) where you can read the details and consider

CVS isn’t just a pharmacy—it’s a Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM). That means they decide which drugs make the list, what they cost, and pocket kickbacks from every pharmaceutical transaction. Not only are they defrauding the US Medicare Medicaid system, but they’ve been legally

Leah Houston MD Coming from an independent pharmacist- you’re exactly correct. These greedy middlemen are costing Americans billions each year and putting independent pharmacies out of business. GET RID OF THEM!!!
