Well,
❤️@Decent doesn't need money (really) but Direct Primary Care as "value-based care's most underrated play" has a nice ring to it. We serve a movement in DPC that will eventually just be called healthcare.
I'll be presenting "The Good, The Bad, and the Transparent: Building a @Decent Health Plan around Direct Primary Care" at #RosettaFest next week. Excited to support @HealthRosetta, who are wonderful design partners and now plan customers. See you all in DC!
