STAY AWAY!! Marriott Bonvoy #Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel is absolutely the WORST hotel I have EVER stayed at. Not a single redeeming quality. It is a DUMP. Service is TERRIBLE. Bonvoy members should be given a million bonus points for staying here.

Pediatric #neurosurgeon Dr. Cathy Mazzola's advocacy exposed the predatory practices of UnitedHealthcare & Optum after the Change Healthcare cyber attack in a NBC News story! Thanks to the AMA for its efforts to hold the insurer accountable. What an outrage! bit.ly/4ldmqLd

The AMA #RUC is essential for appropriately valuing services in #Medicare. CMSGov should RECONSIDER its plans to move away from this transparent, trusted panel of experts who contribute time & expertise to ensure accuracy & fairness at ZERO cost to taxpayers!
