Yo @JonnyBones ☀️
While this may not be a traditional fight for me, it’s obvious that too many Americans are being hurt and forced into medical debt or bankruptcy by a Healthcare System so greedy that hospitals and insurers hide their actual prices so they can charge us whatever they want. Their “estimates” are bullshit and the corporate greed in American healthcare is breaking people and families across the United States. I’ve seen it countless times in my own community where I have friends, family, and neighbors who are afraid to even get the care they need because the entire system, without real prices upfront, is dishonest and rigged for corporate profit. Time to hold these healthcare bullies accountable. Power to the people… Power to the Patients. @PowertoPatnts

A complex and disparate system means complex and disparate experiences for patients and plan sponsors. Great discussion with @AmyJuravich 👇

I still can't stop thinking about this @egabler piece Regardless of its merits, the 340B program is another government-sanctioned arbitrage scheme propped up by inflated drug prices This is just one example of the unnecessary waste plaguing the program:

A friend indeed…
"Consider us a friend," a UnitedHealth doctor says in a TV ad (designed to look like a news segment) encouraging seniors to get annual wellness visits. What goes unsaid: UnitedHealth wants those visits so it can generate lucrative billing codes.
