Spine surgeons see problems from many different angles. That is why it’s prudent to get more than one opinion. But be wary of surgeons who use high pressure tactics to get you to sign up for surgery when no other methods have been tried. #trustyoursurgeon
Coded speech in the healthcare debates “Free Market” - the chupacabra of healthcare (doesn’t exist) “Unleash the economy” - get rid of regulations to really let the insurers make $ “Socialism” - anything that doesn’t let the corps take the American public to the cleaners

Gov. Pritzker: “The question was about Greg Bovino and CBP possibly leaving Chicago…All I can say is that whether it was the loss in the elections a week ago that's led to Donald Trump deciding to pull CBP out or the fact that Greg Bovino is a snowflake…Whatever it is, the…
We should put together a thread of common misconceptions about money in Healthcare. 1. Doctors don't get a tax write-off for charity care or unpaid bills 2. Medicare hasn't increased payment rates to doctors since 1992 3. Seeing a hospital-employed doctor costs twice as much…

To all the veterans thank you from a grateful country. And to my favorite veteran, who faced antisemitism in his own platoon and then from the Nazis themselves and showed them what a jew with a spine of iron can do - my eternal gratitude and love. #veteransday2025
“Medicare reform” sounds great on paper. Dissolve Medicare? Sure. Just give me back the money you took out from every paycheck since I was fifteen with interest.
Preach @timburchett it’s gonna take you and every other person in congress to stop taking that insurance PAC money, break up the insurers and the mega systems and suck it up. Get it done.
Tim Burchett: "It seems kinda crazy, but in the future maybe we oughta bring the patients and the doctors to the table and tell the insurance companies they can go take a flying leap."
So for those people looking to buy a home or condo, a longer mortgage means you will have LESS equity (think of it as a share of) your house over a longer period of time. Second, you will pay MORE in interest than ever before. Please look up an AMORTIZATION table to compare $
INGRAHAM: Is a 50 year mortgage really a good idea? TRUMP: It's not even a big deal. You go from 40 to 50 years. All it means is you pay less per month
My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.
Up to 40% of Obamacare enrollees never file a claim. That’s billions in taxpayer dollars flowing to insurance companies for people who don’t even use the system. Republicans are committed to ending the fraud and making healthcare truly affordable.
This does not foster a free market. This is a bad way to implement a supposed plan that will increase choice.
We have some final numbers for the impact on Orthopedics as it relates to the final rule for the physician fee schedule. There is no other way to spin it other than the numbers are bleak for independent physicians. While employed physicians will see a 2.5% reduction across…

From my appearance on 60 Minutes: Me: Research works. If you want to freeze society where it is, then cripple the research enterprise. Bill Whitaker of 60 Minutes: Is that whole idea being lost in the harsh rhetoric by the administration? Me: The attack on universities is a…
Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️
Interesting seeing Healthcare ppl wonks >briefly< engage in meaningful discussion with people that actually affect change than running away quote tweeting them. Chickenshit move to be sure and no doubt afraid to anger their employers/party. Can’t be seen cavorting with the enemy
There is no free market in medicine unless you create it. Everything else is a pipe dream and will end up hastening single payer which brings catastrophic cost, decreased access and physician attrition.
When smart people are now seeing the shitshow and how to unscrew it, there is a chance @mcuban
Hav the DOJ an FTC evaluate the largest health insurance carriers divest their holdings by category Insurance Providers PBMs JVs with healthcare related companies. For reference , one large insurance company has 2600 subsidiaries/affiliates that do 161 BILLION in inter…
#MedTwitter free market people at just giving the ACA subsidies to people WITHOUT actually creating the free market by breaking up the insurers.
