@Fogle4MO Huge!!

One of my biggest accomplishments in life - getting my Republican mother to knock doors with me 💚

@pastoor_sara @PCPCC Sigh…#DPC, how I enjoy thee.

@ESilvermanMD @VQR Thanks so much for this article @ESilvermanMD . I attended the 2015 DPC summit in KC and was also at the 2022 summit written about in your story as well, 7 years into my DPC practice. Your article captures perfectly the essence of what drives our movement. Thanks.

Today, I'm excited to share "Best Practices," my longform reported essay in @VQR about Direct Primary Care. 🔖 shorturl.at/mwAX9 🎨: María Jesús Contreras 1/8

Thanks @rshawnm . Former corporate medicine family physician here now happily practicing #DPC #directcare.

So basically this is #directprimarycare #directcare #DPC

@AtlasMD @docshanep Thanks. Sounds like a tough sale.

@Equality_Health @docshanep New clinics are starting with much higher prices, limited hours, much smaller patient panels, often less of a value proposition by not doing medications and labs etc.

The biggest risk to #directcare is #directcare- if we start having a "day 2 mindset" businessinsider.com/aws-ceo-adam-s…

@AtlasMD @docshanep Thanks for this. Any ways in particular that you’re seeing this play out with #directcare #DPC?

@docshanep archive.is/h8Dkt I would summarize it as starting to Coast, and forgetting to put the customer or the patient first, choosing what’s more comfortable for the company versus what is best for the patient. The slow Mark towards higher prices and less value.

See you at the groundbreaking.

@shlebyhahn @UHC That’s maddening. We send our uninsured/ crappily insured to Baron for cash pay stress ECHO for ~$500-600 if that’s an option.

Hi @UHC I ordered a stress test for a high risk patient with typical angina. “PA required”. I submitted history and pts risk profile. Called twice to speak with your physician reviewer. No answer or call back. You closed case w/o approval. Bad Faith and deplorable.

@drcarroll Just curious if this is as much of an issue in Tucson where most of the town is xeriscaped? I lived in Tucson from 2002-2004. Other than the golf courses I think there was 1 neighborhood w/ grass lawns (Winter Haven I think), and it was sorta frowned on even back then.

@kyes_the_limit Wonderful….best to both of you!

Vienna shows how to avoid a housing crisis. Pretty fascinating and lots to learn here. nytimes.com/2023/05/23/mag…

@CoxHealth and @MercySGF... Y'all planning on watchin this? Subcommittee on Why Health Care is Unaffordable: Anticompetitive and Consolidated Markets - House Committee on Ways and Means gop-waysandmeans.house.gov/event/health-s…

This is a bad thing. And we are not for sale. nytimes.com/2023/05/08/hea…

Wow. That @MercySGF quote at the end of this article is brutal...CoxHealth Monett closes labor and delivery unit ky3.com/2023/04/28/cox…

Imagine if Conservatives mobilized against school shootings the way they’ve mobilized against transgender rights. Maybe be the change @alexrileyMO nytimes.com/2023/04/16/us/…

Further marginalizing a group of people that is already marginalized is unconscionable and the antithesis of Christianity. Interested in thoughts on this from my state rep @AlexRileyMO washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
