Imagine if we had “food insurance” and the government paid McDonald’s $5 more per burger than Dutch’s Family Diner. How long do you think Dutch’s would survive? That’s what Medicare does with hospital-owned clinics vs independent doctors. Site-neutral payments level the playing

And both sites typically reimburse more than when the SAME procedure is performed in the office or OBL. This is why we need the OBFA proposal to actually delineate proper and more reasonable reimbursements in the office not just rotely continuing much higher HOPD $$

If you are a JAG officer, for the love of god don’t threaten civilians & federal agents. And don’t insult your boss.

This is really a critical diminished percentage remaining in PP. and a huge warning about the future of medical care in general if we don’t change course- it will ALL become corporate and care itself becomes an afterthought to “ metrics, revenue, margin”

Again why? This is shameful and I feel for the people in LA- BUT- votes/elections have consequences. You folks need to stop electing politicians that prioritize this nonsense over the rank and file Americans (of all colors and origins) that are simply trying to live their

Excellent question

Yep

And this is true accross the country as health systems consolidate and absorb physician practices. As private practice is threatened so is patient access to timely compassionate care

🇺🇸 Hey everyone: “No Kings” day is July 4. Pass it on! 🇺🇸

Now we know what was obvious as soon as the shooting happened. It was a Democrat and was appointed by none other than Tampon Timmy. The Leftists are the violent extremists. IYKYK

Good points/inconveniently accurate description!

Support President Trump. You think these decisions were easy? They weren’t. You think this means WW3? You’re wrong. You think it means American soldiers deploying to Iran? You’re wrong. You think it means long term stability in the Middle East and a safer future for

Wow. These are sobering statistics from Dutch Rojas

The Great American Healthcare Shakedown Here’s the thing nobody wants to say out loud: health systems have been pulling off the perfect heist for nearly twenty years. Jack up prices like crazy, let insurers take the blame, and keep cashing checks. Look at the numbers. From
