Fraud in medicine is so curious. Here is a clip of Dr. Mehmet Oz and Elizabeth Warren agreeing that up-coding by the insurance companies that run Medicare Advantage Is fraud youtube.com/watch?v=fIX-Xj… 1/6 🧵

I have been told by other doctors that I owe society for the cost of my education and training. Read this hot take about why it is not true. Turns out it is not my job, nor is it possible for me to solve the unsolvable problem that is our broken healthcare system.

The hard truths must be spoken. The US Healthcare system is a mess. From Production to Delivery from Accessibility to Affordability from Education to Implementation. The middleman is killing the patient. To stand by and accept the status quo is unacceptable.

Just to remind everyone who really benefited from ObamaCare in 2010. It wasn’t the patients. It wasn’t the doctors. It was the insurance companies. Fraud. Waste. Abuse.

How could it be in 2025, the year of our new Chicago pope, that some Medicare plans ONLY cover Humira and none of its biosimilars. And nearly all plans *didn't prefer* the biosimilar over Humira. AbbVie and PBMs have soaked everyone here. statnews.com/pharmalot/2025…

Imagine walking into a hotel, asking for a room, and they say: “We’ll let you know the price in 30 to 90 days.” Now imagine that hotel stay costs $5,000. That’s healthcare in America. We’ve normalized a system where no one, not the patient, not the care giver, not the insurer,

Medicare’s message to doctors: “Do more, get paid less.” 2025 conversion factor: $32.35 2015 conversion factor: $35.93 A decade of cuts while demands explode. This isn’t reform—it’s sabotage. In 2025, the Medicare conversion factor will be lower than it was in 2015. A decade

Did you know? That for Medicare advantage enrollees, we pay $2300 more for less care and coverage than the traditional fee for service model. It is a terrific example of how metrics are abused and quality is manipulated. Theoretically, it was designed to lower costs and

Female physicians receive 25 to 40% more patient messages in the EHR compared to their male counterparts. While this often increases patient satisfaction, it also increases time spent in the chart and can contribute to burnout among female clinicians.

The physician shortage isn’t just about how many doctors we have. It’s about how much time we are forced to waste. Physicians in the U.S. spend an average of 16 hours per week on administrative tasks. Not optional work. Not inefficiency. But time we are required to spend—by

When will America wake up and realize coverage is not care. Don’t fall for this nonsense appeal saying “protect Medicare Advantage” As Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. knows, MA is corrupt and broken.

Always more to the story. Physicians wailing about Medicaid cuts would do well to understand the backwards incentives created by provider taxes and how states vie for federal $$. Thank you for this explanation.
