Woke up today realizing the Penguins will make the playoffs. The Pirates spent $140 million on a teenager. An NFL Draft coming to Pittsburgh but the Steelers have a short-term coach and a QB almost my age. Did I die in a plane crash and this is an episode of Lost?!

I am often mocked by my Wall Street friends when I tell the story of the “collapse of American medicine”. It is a direct result of two laws: 1. HITECH act of 2009 that implemented excessive cost and regulations on private practices and 2. ACA “Obamacare” law implemented in 2010. The cumulative effect of these laws was: 1. The collapse of the longstanding doctor-patient relationship as “you could NOT keep your doctor.” 2. The progressive financial failure of private practice physician who eventually joined hospital systems and private equity to reduce their debt. 3. Increasing cost of medicine as more physicians were working under the benefit of additional payments that include a “facility fee” which is awarded the hospital systems and not private practitioners. 4. The increase in administrative costs as increase regulations are a characteristic of large hospitals systems and uncontrolled and government-backed insurance mandates. The above must be reversed in order to re-establish private practice in America.
Dutch Rojas@DutchRojas

15% of physicians remain in unaffiliated private practice. In 2010 that number was 75%. The physicians still standing are the ones who held out the longest. They don’t need employment. They need an economic structure that makes independence durable. That is a very large and very underserved market.

@DanBurkett_ Pittsburgh. And they've given that for 145 years, well before the Yankees were relocated from some other city. :)

I see lots of people are blaming Skinner for last night’s loss. He didn’t play well. But they got their asses completely kicked all night by a better team that was far more invested in the result. And that’s ok. It happens. I don’t know how there is any other way to look at it
