Legally, nonprofit hospitals don't have to spend money on charity care/community investment But since they get tax breaks...shouldn't they? And should research, Medicare shortfall and GME count? Some hospitals fall far short on this spending, study says statnews.com/2024/03/26/non…

Actually i’m pretty sure Right Care Alliance called for $35 insulin when we marched on Sanofi Nov 2018. And T1 International did too. It just that it wasn’t covered or taken seriously. That’s a dizzying shift of the Overton window , but purchased at a horrific price of human suffering

"generating enough savings through integrated care models to cover marketing and broker fees, the extra benefits, exec salaries, and profits is very hard." Hard, not impossible. Requires a serious dive into care processes at ground level & a total revamp of usual practice.

We need a paradigm shift. But it won't come until we can create a financial model that incentivizes health, not health care transactions.

As a physician with mild LC, none of this surprises me. What does surprise me is that it took 4 years for someone to publish this study, finally using proper control groups and that it's from Germany --- How much has the NIH spend on LC research? What do we have to show for it 5
