Tomorrow, we're headed to New Orleans for the annual DPC Summit! Those leading the direct primary care movement are showing tomorrow's physicians what's possible when doctors are free to put patients first. We can't wait to take part in the the conversation. #dpc #healthcare

"Fifteen years after #ACA's passage, our healthcare system is less affordable, less competitive, and less fiscally sustainable. Yet many progressives see these shortcomings as an argument for even greater government control of healthcare." - @sallypipes benjaminrush1776.substack.com/p/sally-pipes-…

"Those who steal from programs intended to serve seniors, low-income families, and people with disabilities should expect to be caught. Taxpayers and patients deserve nothing less." @sallypipes: "Trump's Healthcare Fraud Crackdown Is Paying Off" benjaminrush1776.substack.com/p/sally-pipes-…

In our Independence Day episode of the Free Health Care podcast, we seek to answer two straightforward questions: Are we as free today as the Founders envisioned? And what will it take to ensure our best days are still ahead? Listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/05VuDK…

Hospitals are consolidating markets, exploiting federal programs and using their growing leverage to raise prices for patients and taxpayers alike. Why? Because federal policy incentivizes it. The latest from BRI Founder & Chair @sallypipes: benjaminrush1776.substack.com/p/sally-pipes-…

If policymakers want more Americans to obtain coverage, they need to make insurance better and cheaper—not merely more heavily subsidized. The latest from BRI Founder & Chair @sallypipes: benjaminrush1776.substack.com/p/sally-pipes-… #HealthInsurance #HealthcareInnovation #Obamacare #Policy

Inflated enrollment totals by themselves are not signs of success. They are evidence of weak oversight, improper subsidy payments, and a system vulnerable to abuse. More from BRI Founder & Chair @sallypipes: benjaminrush1776.substack.com/p/sally-pipes-…

"Dr. Torres-Hodges has written a book in defense of the interests of the one group that is not used to thinking about its own interests – aspiring physicians. This book should be required reading for all medical students and residents." — Dr. Sonny Morton, BRI Board Member
