Jay Bhattacharya The government is the source of the AMA’s most important revenue stream: their monopoly of the CPT codes. They make much more 💰 from CPT codes than they do from their membership which includes less than 15% of practicing docs.  From 2017: inquirer.com/philly/blogs/h…

Do college kids read stuff like this and think that maybe medical school is a toxic direction?

US has equated coverage as healthcare for years. During that time:

Good start:
Optum, Change& United Health need to split

CVS/Aetna & its PBM need to split

Absolutely no insurer should own a PBM or GPO (GPO especially)

Insurers should not own physician groups, PBMs, or hospitals, all of which make the MLR pointless

UnitedHealth Group is the biggest employer of doctors and the largest health insurer. Its holdings are vast. Know what else United owns? A bank. It’s called Optum Bank. And it's had problems. 🧵

Colleagues:

I am reaching out to alert you to an unprecedented opportunity for physicians to share how their lives and livelihoods have been impacted by ABMS MOC. It is critical that all physicians comment immediately.

Brief background: Last September, NBPAS formally asked the

The whole MOC charade is imploding as experienced doctors leave medicine, so the grifters gotta grift to float their sinking ship👇 FTC Department of Justice (DOJ) Lina Khan

So many doctors I know are leaving primary care.

They're doing specialty fellowships or leaving medicine entirely, burnt out from the grind.

What keeps me going as a primary care doctor?

1) Working with students. They keep me honest and excited!

I too have many strategies to mitigate burnout in primary care… but, at the end of the day we must do better as a society or NO ONE WILL WANT THIS JOB.

I’m speechless. With zero evidence to support MOC making us better doctors, ABFM decided to double down and change it from a 10y to a 5y certification. Now? Really??!!! Aaron Goodman - “Papa Heme” National Board of Physicians and Surgeons Westby Fisher, MD Todd R. Otten, M.D.

There is hope…. If patients/employers start figuring out they can dump the BUCAHS ( big bloated 3rd party instructors of care who call themselves insurance co) and save $ and increase access all at once.

In American HC, we not only have ‘too big to fail’, we have ‘so big we don’t have to follow law and order’

“ Among those PBM, ( the ones that control 94% of the market) none have complied”
