.@RepKManning @senthomtillis @TedBuddNC—The NSA needs Congressional oversight NOW to ensure the law is implemented as intended. The arbitration process favors payers and has encouraged them to narrow their networks. This threatens elderly, rural, and underserved patients' access.

The rules you landed on for the NSA are inconsistent with Congressional intent. Patients will lose. Physicians will lose. Not sure why you are making a deal to enrich insurance companies at our expense. @XavierBecerra @POTUS @VP
California’s law benchmarked OON rates, yet healthcare premiums still rose every year. It’s almost like benchmarking hurts doctors, helps insurers, & does nothing for consumers

Replying to @iamjohnoliver
@iamjohnoliver ripped Private Equity before - in the mobile home parks. I would think the RAPIDLY growing influence Private Equity-owned Physician exploiting those at their most vulnerable - during a medical emergency would be worthy of a show!
Replying to @LastWeekTonight
@LastWeekTonight @iamjohnoliver please do a story on CMGs (corporate medical groups) and private equity in medicine! Please speak to @ApparentLiMD or any of the emergency physicians that have been forced to work in this unsafe and inequitable system...

AMA Prez @subailey testified the bill “moves health care in the wrong direction by removing physicians from the care teams. And when you remove the most highly educated and trained health care professional from the care team—you put patients at risk.” ama-assn.org/practice-manage…
