Don't you wish CEOs knew what was in their HC benefits, brokers and consultants contracts? I bet they can add more cash flow by paying attention to this than 90 pct of the things they want to do for their business today I'm still amazed that VCs and PE don't use reducing benefits costs as a source of cash. It's easy

🚨 Your access to affordable medication is at risk. Independent pharmacies are disappearing—and patients are paying the price. The Pharmacists Fight Back Act is pushing for: 👉 Lower drug costs 👉 More transparency 👉 Patient choice Take action now: pharmacistsfightback.org/ 📣 Contact your legislators and demand change. #FightBack #PatientAdvocacy #Healthcare

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire. It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs. Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ? Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us. Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

AT&T was broken up in 1984. Time to do it again! Break up the vertically integrated Big Healthcare Insurance companies! @HawleyMO @SenWarren @USDOJ @FTC linkedin.com/posts/drglaucom…

🚨 BREAKING: CMS Administrator Dr. Oz just revealed $300 BILLION in fraud EVERY YEAR is committed in the American health system Holy smokes. A HUGE portion of our national debt is just fraud! "I am announcing the LARGEST anti-fraud initiative of its kind in CMS history!" "We believe we spend $300 BILLION per year in healthcare in this country for fraudulent, abusive or wasteful purposes. $300 BILLION." End it all!

Only when their lips are moving....

Appreciate FTC led by @AFergusonFTC for taking action to help rein in ESI business practices harming consumers & competition. Excellent first steps to balance this one sided marketplace!

HUGE pinocchios by the top insurer CEOs testifying at @HouseCommerce & @WaysandMeansGOP hearings that their companies do everything to control costs. As Chairman @RepJasonSmith said it's profits over patients. The game is fixed in favor of profits.

Read this, then follow along as patients, Indie pharmacists, descend on DC. I am proud to join them bucksindependence.com/help-f…

Talking to independent physicians, it's obvious that the big insurance carriers are doing to them, what their PBMs are doing to independent pharmacies. They deny, underpay, slow pay, clawback, and create administrative mazes, knowing their victims don't have the time or resources to fight. Why ? By putting financial pressures on physicians and pharmacies, it makes them more likely to sell their businesses to them , close their doors, or refer the business to their captive pharmacy or provider. All benefitting the biggest insurance companies We need to ditch the concept of "claims" and make every delivery of medications or care as a billable event that must, by law, be paid on a timely basis , with interest charges for any delays. If the physician or pharmacy doesn't deliver , the carrier has plenty of legal options already. As does the patient. This is not an efficient market. This is the big guy abusing the little guy. It needs to change to better the care we get in this country

.@angrydadwi and his family spent their second Thanksgiving without their son Cole. Read and share. Then push for real PBM reform so we don't have more tragedies like Cole's bucksindependence.com/bad-la…

We actually have been working in ERs, and they are slammed. Patients face long waiting periods, and when they get into the ER, they may just be on a gurney in the hallway. When they are finally seen and admitted to the hospital, they may spend 1-2 days waiting in the ER for a hospital bed. The ERs are overloaded, patients are frustrated, the physicians and staff are frustrated, and it is a disaster. The reason for this is that the ACA killed off private practice primary care, and now patients have no access. The Medicaid expansion sounds good, but the money from Medicaid goes to the managed care organizations, and the physician reimbursement is so low that you can't accept Medicaid patients and keep your practice open. Therefore, Medicaid expansion doesn't provide any more access for the patients who deserve it. X is the only place to go for the truth about healthcare at the patient and physician level. I appreciate all of your interest in healthcare and please join us on our mission to reform it and put the patient back in charge!

Awesome discussion with two warriors for price transparency in healthcare.

PBMs took advantage of lax rules to raise drug prices and push out community pharmacies for years. Arkansas was the first state in the nation to say enough. Great to join @Commpharmacy and talk about all we’ve accomplished to protect patients and community pharmacies!

We’re not talking about inefficiency. We’re talking about a rigged system…where the contractor sets the price, owns the pharmacy, controls the formulary, & cashes the rebate check. A system where the fox not only guards the henhouse — it invoices the government for the privilege. ~ @BrandiChane puttrx.medium.com/your-move-… #AuditTRICARE

I always knew AARP was tight with UnitedHealthcare, but I really didn’t realize how foundational it was to their business model.
