.Democrats should not just embrace @doge, they should participate in it Imagine if Elizabeth Warren Sen. Bernie Sanders Ro Khanna Gavin Newsom Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Josh Shapiro started tweeting about spending that should be deleted!?! That would be absurdly effective for them

Healthcare isn’t expensive. Bureaucracy is. Physicians, nurses, and clinical staff are underpaid relative to the value they deliver. The real cost drivers? Health system monopolies, bloated administrative salaries, and vertical consolidation that forces employers and

For years, physicians have stood by while CMS and the health system lobby crippled private practice. But now that RFK Jr. is making noise about healthcare, suddenly some of you have opinions? Where was this outrage during the last five HHS secretaries who bent over backward

We don’t need more oversight. We need more ownership. Physician-owned hospitals deliver better outcomes, lower prices, and higher patient satisfaction. So why were they banned in 2010? Simple: They worked. The ban wasn’t about safety. It was about suppressing competition.

Dutch Rojas @dutchrojas is right. The reimbursement for high-risk surgical procedures is unsustainable. That is why 80% of medical students graduating, are employed even in neurosurgery. They can’t survive on their own. As you can see from the example above, Medicare pays a neurosurgeon

Katherine, You left out a few details, so let me help fill in the gaps: That same Medicaid program you’re praising? It underpays independent physicians so severely they can’t afford to keep their doors open, unless they sell out to a large nonprofit system. Those systems?

The former president suffered from infirmity. The current president suffers from immorality. Our two “major” parties have been gaslighting us for decades, and it’s time for center-left and center-right Americans to unify behind integrity, competency, and basic problem solving.

$36 trillion. That’s our national debt—and it’s still climbing. That’s more than $106,000 for every American. Every child born today is inheriting a tab they didn’t run up, but they’ll be expected to pay. This didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of decades of fiscal

Let’s take a second to understand the scale of the bureaucratic costs of US health care… If we gave every physician a 10 % raise but cut admin costs by 10%, we would save 100+billion annually If we gave every physician and nurse a 10% raise and cut the admin costs by 10%, we

Personal post: I don’t think people outside the Jewish community understand the extent to which open Jew-hatred has been normalized and encouraged right now. I can’t share details for security reasons but a woman (white/young) came into a Jewish organization’s building in the

An Iranian missile struck the largest hospital in southern Israel. Unlike in Gaza, there was no military bunker buried below. Still, you know the rules: Done by Israel, no matter how justified: war crime. Done to Israel, no matter how atrocious: not a war crime.

Your healthcare costs are subsidized twice, and you're being ripped off both times. While Americans debate healthcare policy, a $1+ trillion wealth transfer is happening right under our noses. “Nonprofit" health systems use taxpayer subsidies to eliminate competition and

Property Tax Exemptions? Because health systems classified as 501(c)(3) nonprofits, they are exempt from local property taxes, even on massive campuses in prime real estate zones. While independent practices pay property taxes like any small business, nonprofits can hold vast,

It is one thing to express moral concern. It is another to understand the implications of what we demand in the name of morality. Many claim that healthcare is a “human right.” Yet rights, properly understood, do not require the labor of another person. You have a right to

Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

I love when smug healthcare policy wonks throw out that old “Medicare and Medicaid only have 2–5% administrative costs” line, as if it’s gospel truth and not a completely misleading stat from a 2011 Health Affairs article. Let’s unpack this nonsense because it violates basic

The worst kind of doctor? The one who thinks they’re better than everyone else because they “treat the root cause,” claim to have “seen the light,” and now preach that modern medicine is toxic. Also they don’t take insurance and charge $1,200 to tell you to cut out gluten and

Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.

RFK Jr. is misrepresenting a landmark Danish study that followed 1.2 million children over 24 years. The study found no link between aluminum in vaccines and autism or neurodevelopmental harm. Let’s fact-check his claims - using actual data. 🧵
