TONIGHT: I'm doing an event at 8:30 pm EST with Mitchell Li MD on Steward Health Care & the public health emergency caused by converting hospitals into ponzi schemes. Tell your clinician friends! (esp if the sight of a pizza box makes them borderline homicidal) Register here:โฆ
Ben Bowman, Governor Tina Kotek companies like United DeathCare don't care about the patient. They care about the bottomline. This opens the discussion of why corporations like UnitedHealthcare encourage nurses to care for our elderly. The CPoM eliminates physician led care. We deserve better.

'But corporate backlash to HB 4130 has been swift and fierce. Both Amazon and UnitedHealth Group have retained lobbyists to oppose it...'

Thank you for your advocacy, Dr. Glaucomflecken! OR is leading the way with this bill. We need this bill to pass, then we need other states to follow.
Ben Bowman, Governor Tina Kotek We know where PE has its hands patients suffer. The current CPoM is literally harming patients both in hospitals and nursing facilities. It puts profits before patients. Patients deserve better and that patient could be you any day.
#MedTwitter - Industry is says that Oregon HB 4130 introduced by Ben Bowman undermines 'traditional' physician practice structures, like where non-physicians corporations like #PirateEquity , #HealthInsurance put profits over patients & ctrl physicians, & deny care. End #CPoM
