maybe we shouldn't listen to the convicted healthcare felon on how to fix healthcare
to save on healthcare, you must crush the doctor lobby. something no POTUS has been able to do, D or R. pharma saves money thanks to genericization of every drug in 10 years. it is a convenient boogeyman.

@MartinShkreli lol. if every doctor worked for free, it would reduce our healthcare expenditure by $400 billion, or 8%. which is 1/4 of what we spend administrative costs but it's cute you think the Dr lobby has sway over hospitals & insurances

insurers suck
NEW: UMass student wins $10,000 during a halftime competition only to be notified that the school's insurance partner wouldn't be paying him because his "foot was on the line." Horrible marketing for this insurance company 😂 Senior Noah Lee needed to make a lay-up, free throw, three-pointer, and then a half-court shot to win $10,000. After making the shots, Lee was notified one day later that the "insurance partner" who allegedly sponsored the challenge wouldn't be paying him the money. "The half-court shot is disqualified because you were not behind the line," Lee was told. Instead, they gave him a gift card and a "swag bag."

@BabyD1111229 @NEJM @JAMA_current yes, Ivermectin kills roundworms & is an anthelmnintic. That's what it does You can't detox from a vaccine....its doesn't treat diabetes...chest pain isn't a disease And chronic unsubstantiated use can cause diarrhea, myalgias, arrhythmias....so there's legit harm in quackery
