. Bill Ackman Elon Musk @doge if you want more, on the healthcare side too, I got trillions worth. The arbs in this industry are insane. For instance, here is an example of how insurance companies with Pharmacy Plans for traditional Medicare game their plans to push people to

Dear Hospital Admins: Requiring board-certified intensivists to have ACLS is redundant. Requiring them to also spend time and money on BLS is ridiculous. Sincerely, Someone who probably leads codes far more often than the BLS teachers

This is such sad news. I think we all wanted American College of Cardiology to take over our certification in #cardiology & not leave to the ABMS. Cardiology is often a Department, not within a Division of Medicine. We need to separate to make this happen. 😢😢😢 #CardioTwitter

The Cost Conundrum was an article written in 2007 in the New Yorker by famed surgeon and author, Atul Gawande that sought to explain the high cost of American medical care. It was inspired by data from a health policy researcher from Dartmouth named Eliot Fisher. Fisher’s group

ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/04/17/ohi… This is an important story because it debunks one of the favorite PCMA talking points. The State of Ohio fired Optum and CVS as the Medicaid PBMs and started a state-run PBM. They were able to save $140 million and increase the payments to pharmacies by

For the doctors out there: It’s time we talk about how unfair the business of medicine has become for providers. If you’ve tried to negotiate fair pay with insurance—whether it worked or not—I want to hear your story. Tag me or share it in the comments. We can’t fix what we don’t
