@mcuban Drug spend, incl hospital drugs is only 14% of total HC costs. Blaming insurance is convenient, but ins don’t set prices; they pay the bills providers submit. HC costs are high bc provider charges are high & rising fast. If you want to control costs, focus on providers, not ins














The amount of energy my clinic spends fighting Blue Cross alone is insane. They will process the same service differently on the same EOB and patient. Each time they make an error it costs my team 30-60 minutes of admin follow up time and it costs us another 45+ business days for it to be corrected and get payment for our work. It is no wonder that many doctors sell or do cash only which only hurts the patient more and give disincentives for doctors to go into private practice - which is what is really best for the patient. But the ones that survive and the big corporations , not small private practice.




Incredible medical care for all!


"This is the worst six-month period in the South's modern economic development history in terms of job and investment generating-deal announced publicly by a corporation." "The numbers are worse than any recession I have ever covered since 1983." "If deals are cratering like this in the South, North America's most desired economic development region, its far worse in the Midwest, West, and North East." - Mike Randle, Southern Business & Development Link: sb-d.com/news/article/1…
