Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z: You buy a Pokémon card for $50. Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it. The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes." You: "…I didn't sell it." Government:…
A Walmart manager may out earn a pediatric subspecialty surgeon. And everyone acts shocked. And it’s a question @HeathVeuleman , @GeBaiDC and I have discussed. Why is a surgeon’s value determined by a committee instead of a market? In every other domain of human expertise,…
There has been a lot of buzz after @elonmusk said @Tesla Optimus robots could replace surgeons in 2 to 3 years. The timeline is unrealistic but the direction is not wrong. Let us be honest. Surgical technical skill is replaceable. There is enormous variability across humans and…
Can someone point me in the direction of the auto mechanic willing to accept partial payment 90 days after they fix my car ? Or maybe retroactive denial of payment ?
In a typical $3,000 bumper repair, roughly $1,350 goes to parts, paint, and materials. That leaves about $1,650 for labor. Spread over roughly 10 hours of booked time, that works out to about $165 per hour. The $2,000 paid to a neurosurgeon under Medicare is almost entirely…
What’s the point? No, tell me, what’s the point? What’s the point of laws if judges reinterpret them until they protect everyone except the people who obey them? What’s the point of defending a nation if the same system refuses to defend your family from criminals it imported…
No surprise here. Faith Winter was drunk, at fault, and caused injuries. Fortunately she can never hurt anybody ever again with her selfish and reckless behavior. coloradosun.com/2025/12/19/fai…
I have no interest in breaking bread with the unassimilated. Specifically the ones who won’t try. Color of your skin irrelevant. If I want “cultural immersion”, I’ll visit you in your own country. I want to live with Americans. I want to fight next to Americans. That’s it.
Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand - Dr. Hendricks in Galt’s Gulch (Part III, Chapter I). “I quit when medicine was placed under State control some years ago,” said Dr. Hendricks. “Do you know what it takes to perform a brain operation? Do you know the kind of skill it demands, and the…
Thirty Years of Ortho: What I’d Tell the Next Generation I’ve been an orthopedic surgeon for three decades. Long enough to see techniques come and go, implants rise and fall, and the pendulum of “standard practice” swing back and forth more times than I can count. What hasn’t…
While the American Medical Association is lecturing the world about equity and diversity, their administrators are taking home Wall Street–level compensation packages — paid for by academic medical centers and the NIH. This is the medical-school industrial complex: a bureaucracy…
This viewpoint from the Americal Medical Association is openly calling for a metric to reward DEI instead of scientific accomplishment. It should be understood for what it is: a loud, clear signal that major biomedical institutions have abandoned merit and scientific…
You think your worldview is concerning lately? Imagine being a GWOT veteran.
Remember when @CAgovernor threatened to take away physician licenses if they spoke out against the official Covid narrative? Where were the no kings protests then?
He isolated your kids while putting his in private school during Covid He demanded you mask yourself and your kids while his kids school allowed families to opt out. He destroyed small businesses while he was wined and dined by special interest groups at The French Laundry &…
It really baffles me how anyone cannot see what is clearly before their face. Physician labor is being exploited to deliver “services” to a captive market - the consumer - by hospitals, health systems, corporations, and private equity. And the consumer pays taxes, some of the…
Everybody paints physicians as the villain while big pharma middlemen, big hospital admin lobby, and big insurance companies make it out like bandits in the American healthcare system. They profit off of every healthcare worker while taking no medical liability. Such as disgrace.
I’m really sick of hearing this - the government is not subsidizing people. They’re subsidizing insurance companies. The American people are paying thousands upon thousands of dollars for a product that is - for all intents and purposes - useless. United Healthcare, whose…
Ruben, May I take a shot at helping you understand? You receive donations and have become a spokesperson for Banner Health and the University of Arizona teaching hospital, Arizona’s largest nonprofit health system. You say you’re “fighting to make sure” insurance premiums…
Groceries. Rent. Utilities. Everything is too expensive. And Republicans’ plan? Jack up your health insurance premiums by hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars. I’m fighting to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Insurance isn’t security. It’s a financing mechanism with middlemen who profit before a claim is ever paid.
Have you ever noticed how, in America, the doctor is the only person in the entire transaction who doesn’t know what they’re allowed to charge? For example, if you break your leg, the surgeon fixes it, and then three months later, the insurance company mails him a letter…
The U.S. government treats its doctors like highly educated fast food workers. Except instead of flipping burgers, you're flipping your circadian rhythm every three days for less than a tech bro's signing bonus. They say: 👉 Go to medical school. 👉 Take out six-figure loans.…
Doctors may be exempt from the Trump administration’s new $100,000 fee for high-skilled H-1B visa applications, the White House said Monday. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
