Overconsumption is a myth. Folks don't enjoy medical procedures and won't waste their leisure time getting unnecessary procedures. Like, no one will their waste PTO on a second colonoscopy.😝 Lack of care due to financial barriers is a much bigger issue than the potential for overuse of services.

@mcuban.bsky.social Let me answer your questions as you’ve asked them: Any hospitals receiving federal funds must meet negotiated rates. Period. TBD We already do. We’d save ~15% Negotiated Rx & care costs REMOVE denials 🤣 Already do!! Minimized admin overhead + improved FFS rates = Better!

“We don’t have to keep living like this.” 🤔 How do we actually enact a single payer healthcare reform to achieve affordable care with better outcomes? Speak up! Until the people of this country join together & demand change, we will keep living (and dying) like this. #medicareforall #ushealthcare

"even a 1% artificial price increase through these internal transfers could significantly reduce the rebates insurers owe consumers under the medical loss ratio rule. That’s billions of dollars that patients, taxpayers and employers are entitled to but that never leave the company’s bank account"

🪦You pay your monthly premium, yet your health insurance company... ...denies the care prescribed by your doctor. ...requires a preauthorization. ...limits your prescription options. This is what we refer to as the "Healthcare Mafia". It feels like a grift, because IT IS.

With Republicans refusing to renew ACA subsidies, marketplace plans are unveiling tragic increases in premium costs. What will happen? Healthier people will go without coverage, increasing overall costs for everyone. …But don’t worry, Argentina gets a $40 Billion bailout. #healthcare
