Just in case you’re on LinkedIn as well. You can find me over there, too.

@theamna1 We will discuss this topic on the next session of the Virtual Global Taste Conference @virtualglobaltaste

@stevemchale I‘m the world’s best customer for bolt croppers I guess 🤣 I’ve bought two of them in 2023 for titanium but steel and CoCr demand different types 😳 extra ones for titanium…

@traumaticum Ed, I don’t need picture menu list to make a decision 🤣

RT @virtualspine: 🔴 If you missed our most recent session, here’s your opportunity to catch up! Join Dr. Clemens Weber, MD, PhD, as he expl…

@MrOwiti @virtualspine Same thoughts, but I have to listen to Clemens Weber - I’m either smart nor experienced enough to answer your question!

@DrDiGiorgio @drdanchoi Our „Medicaid“ is that approximately 25% of all costs are covered my the government - and the amount is increasing… in other words: our system is not able to survive without major changes. We’re in a deep crisis.

I wouldn’t prefer any system by looking at it from far outside. Here physicians‘ salaries significantly dropped and will drop further, administrative paperwork is immense, many Swiss hospitals are being closed as they were inefficient and many other bad things are happening here, too. But overall Swiss health care workers know that health care economy is very complex and easy solutions are not available.

A compulsory system means that every citizen has to have a health insurance - but you can choose between many private insurance companies and the plans can be tailored to your needs. If you’re treated in-hospital the costs are covered by the government (right now it’s min 55%) and by private insurance (max 45%). In an outpatient setting costs are covered only by private insurance.

I wonder how the situation has been before ACA. If it has been that easy to afford private insurance for most now-Medicaid-covered citizens - just why has the ACA been put on the agenda? And why do all other countries also have huge problems in affording good and efficient health care? I would never dare to compare health care with the canned soup industry…

@DrDiGiorgio @drdanchoi No

Isn’t it somewhat cynical from a historical standpoint to urge the very part of the population that couldn’t afford private insurance - which was the reason the Affordable Care Act was put on the political agenda in the first place - to now distance themselves from Medicaid and opt for private insurance instead? Or is everybody now able to afford private health insurance? A question from a European…

Join us this Thursday 6pm ET and hear what you will be doing in 5-10 years from now! While we all routinely place percutaneous or minimally invasive thoracolumbar screws in our daily practice, only a select few have mastered the art of percutaneous screw placement in the cervical spine. If you want to learn how it’s done, tune in on February 6th at 6pm ET to hear Dr. Clemens Weber! 👉

@JahangirAsgha10 The most interesting thought I have is to imagine hospitals buying high quality 3D-titanium printers and be independent from Medtech companies… And if my dead body is found in the desert next week it’s because of this post 😉

@LukeSpineWalker Did he also enter the room through the O-arm ? 😆
