$LMND still offers good buyable dip here

A media blitz has been going on to demonize Doctor salaries. It's obviously funded by the Healthcare-Pharma Complex, to deflect blame onto Doctors for high Healthcare costs. It is the worst kind of gaslighting against doctors, because the exact opposite situation is true. First, doctor pay is 6-9% of all Healthcare costs, so even if they worked for free, it would hardly put a dent in Healthcare spending. Second, many young doctors may not realize this, but Congress froze Medicare payments to doctors in 1997, and real salary adjusted for inflation decreased 80% since then! Medicare work-RVU payment- 2000: $36.69 2024: $33.29 Inflation since 2000: 70% Meanwhile, hospital payments and insurance premiums have OUTPACED INFLATION since 2000. That is where the problem lies. People will argue that doctors are paid more in the US, but so is every other profession- law, finance, tech, nursing, etc. Average nurse salary- USA: $82,750 Germany: $33,000 Also, the US has fewer doctors per capita than Europe, resulting in more office visits and procedures per doctor. And US doctors have on average $227,000 in debt compared to none in Europe. If you just invested that money in the S&P at it's historical return of 10.26% for 45 years, adjusting for inflation, you get $22.97 Million. That is the opportunity cost of becoming a doctor in America. Anyone blaming doctor pay, which is down 80% the past 25 years, for our high healthcare costs, needs to read this thread and face the facts.

The US has 15 vaccines for kids <18: MMR DTaP Pneumococcal Rotavirus Varicella Hepatitis B Hepatitis A Polio Haemophilus influenzae B Meningococcal Human Papillomavirus Influenza COVID-19 RSV NOT 72. Not 72 DOSES from birth to age 18 (it’s ~35) Stop letting people lie.

We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.

I want to share what I think about MDs. I love each and everyone that busted their ass, borrowed too much money, sacrificed more than we can ever quantify, in hopes of helping their patients. Medicine is an imprecise science. The uncertainties far outnumber the absolutes.

Get your #vaccine!

Too real.

We don’t want you to call us heroes. We want you to give a damn about someone other than yourself. We want you to wear a piece of cloth over your nose & mouth for a little while. We want you to teach & expect your kids to do it too. So that we can *prevent suffering & death.* 11/

Please share. @CHPSantaAna

Tesla with Autopilot engaged now approaching 10 times lower chance of accident than average vehicle

As a wife, mother, daughter, physician & CDC Director, I ask you to hold on a little while longer. We are almost there, but not quite yet. Continue using #COVID19 prevention methods & get vaccinated when you can so that you and others will still be here once this pandemic ends.

Remember when I asked @elonmusk to create a new $FB? $TSLA

If this is real. Oh my.

A children's book explanation of what's happening: 1. If you are "smart money" you are allowed to take your $1 and leverage it up to $15 2. You can now buy $15 of stock AND if you promise to short companies, you can short $15 of stock as well

This is what competency looks like. We would’ve had far less deaths if we had a proper national response from the onset of this pandemic. #ScienceIsBack #COVID19

It’s not like we didn’t have months to prepare for a vaccine rollout. @GavinNewsom , we’re still second to last in the country in our vaccination numbers. What. The. Hell?

This is called the domino effect
