The guy who made millions selling corn syrup laden ice cream jam packed with chemicals and glyphosate is mad that he can’t stud his cherry Garcia with poison anymore. New flavor: Pesticide Party. In 2017, the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) tested 11 samples of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and found trace amounts of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, in 10 flavors.

In his encyclical on socialism: - Sounds downright Tea Party-ish in his defense of private property - Identifies the root of socialism as greed and love of money, any claims to empathy are just a pretext - Identifies that the true goal of socialism is to destroy the family

This is obscene. Here’s a fun little factoid: Since the inception of Medicare (1960) - our healthcare spend has increased 17,900% But physician reimbursement - since 1960 - has DECREASED by 26% (inflation adjusted). Read that again. Yes, that’s correct. You read it right. It’s all a game - and physicians are just the pawns.
Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D.@RepGregMurphy

Medicare Advantage plans got a 5 % raise today. Yet the Doctors, who are the ones who actually care for the patients GET CUT every year. This is RIDICULOUS. cms.gov/newsroom/fact-…

The ACA was the greatest piece of legislation ever passed? Spare me. Such a claim is not merely hyperbolic, it is historically illiterate. The Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, was not a triumph of reform but a masterpiece of political theatre and economic distortion. It did not fix the American healthcare system; it calcified its worst features. The ACA entrenched a reimbursement model that favors bloated health systems over independent medicine. Through CMS, Medicare reimburses more for services rendered in hospitals and HOPDs than independent physician offices. The consequence? A wave of acquisitions. Once nimble and patient-focused, private practices were absorbed by not-for-profit health systems looking to maximize revenue through arbitrage, not outcomes. This is not reform, it is rent-seeking on an industrial scale. Second, mandated coverage inflated prices while distorting risk. One of the ACA’s proudest boasts, essential health benefits, became its most economically illogical mandate. Insurers were forced to cover services like maternity care for men and pediatric dentistry for retirees. Risk pools were distorted. Premiums soared. The healthy were penalized to subsidize the inefficient. In pre-ACA America, a healthy 30-year-old could purchase catastrophic coverage for a few hundred dollars a month. Post-ACA, that same individual faces a $1,200 monthly bill for insurance they neither want nor need. The state declared, in effect, that every American must buy a Mercedes, even if they only needed a bicycle. The claim that “50 million Americans gained coverage” is semantically clever and substantively hollow. Coverage is not care. The expansion of Medicaid, a key pillar of the ACA, placed millions into a program that few physicians accept and that delivers subpar outcomes. The middle class, meanwhile, found themselves with narrow networks, enormous deductibles, and unaffordable care, all behind the illusion of a plastic insurance card. This is the Potemkin village of healthcare: coverage without capacity, access without agency. Finally, the ACA codified a cartel. Section 6001 of the law effectively banned the creation and expansion of physician-owned hospitals. Why? Because physician-owned facilities outperformed corporate health systems in terms of quality and cost. The empirical record was clear. So, instead of fostering competition, Congress, lobbied by the AHA and its allies, shut it down. Imagine a world in which Amazon had lobbied Congress to outlaw any new e-commerce startups after 2010 under the guise of “market stabilization.” That is precisely what happened in healthcare. The ACA chose incumbency over innovation. It outlawed the insurgents and rewarded the monopolists. In sum, the ACA is not a monument to progress, it is a monument to protectionism. It preserved the oligopoly of legacy health systems, empowered insurers by mandating the purchase of their products, distorted prices, crushed physician autonomy, and locked out competition. To call it the “greatest” legislation of our time is to mistake technocratic complexity for genuine reform. It was corporate statism painted in the pastel colors of progressive compassion. #healthcare

I know it can feel like a different era sometimes. But fifteen years ago, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law. Now nearly 50 million people have received health care through the ACA. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the Affordable Care Act is a reminder that change is possible when we keep fighting for progress.
