If Department of Government Efficiency wants to deal with healthcare inflation, they can start by implementing site neutral payments. Outpatient procedures that don’t require a hospital should be paid at the same rate regardless of location. Want to pay more to hospitals with ERs ? -> pay more for ER care,

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

One of the most consequential healthcare policy mistakes of the last 15 years? The 2010 ban on physician-owned hospitals. I wrote about why repealing Section 6001 of the ACA isn’t a partisan issue. It’s a pro-competition, pro-patient, pro-community reform. The data are clear:
