@Ourharveyclan @RedWavePress I played 2yrs of D2 baseball in the late 90’s.

SHOCKING: A growing number of middle school athletes — mostly boys — are intentionally repeating 8th grade to delay their start in high school, giving themselves another full year to get bigger, stronger, and faster, which in turn dramatically boosts their chances at elite high school spots, college scholarships, and massive NIL deals potentially worth millions.
William La Jeunesse: “Of 8M high school students in sports only 7% will play in college.”
“On the other hand, the [likely] number one pick in this year’s NBA draft, [AJ Dybantsa], did 8th grade twice.”
CRAZY IDEA: How about we let more kids be kids!

@AlejoCoachFisio @susteinableexi1 @alvaro_maestro yes yes…. we only want the mediocre folks who do it for the love… why don’t you go be a surgeon.. you give all the shits

@susteinableexi1 @alvaro_maestro No creo que se puede llegar a un buen punto entre que un profesional gane lo necesario para vivir bien sin querer sacar rédito y volverse millonario de una profesión que se creó literalmente para sanar personas. Si tu vocación es la pasta no te hagas médico es simple…

@AlejoCoachFisio @LibrosEnTweets_ @alvaro_maestro and you too should provide your health services for free comrade… it’s my god given right…

@LibrosEnTweets_ @alvaro_maestro Es que la salud no es un servicio es un derecho…

@mcuban @DrDiGiorgio that’s not the case in some states…. we’ve tried getting rid of the louisiana our insurance companies that use the big pbms only to be out in a desert trying to find comparable insurance…

Pretend there are no government rules or involvement right now.
What would change ?
Everything you mentioned they can do right now.
Every self insured employer, can today, choose any company they want to work with. There are no laws saying they have to use the big companies.
Every big insurance company says they are transparent. Do you think that without any gov participation they will become honest ?
English

No chance it would. When there is regulatory capture, huge conglomerates effectively define the prices and rules. Not government.
They would love to have government out of the way. They are so big, with so many subsidiaries, they could whatever they want.
And it wouldn’t be to the benefit of patients.

@mcuban @GovBillLee Or just let the free market compete and get the government out of Healthcare. A free market would inevitably lead to lower costs for consumers.

Not a hot take: The company that approves whether or not your medication is covered should not be the same company that sets the prices for your medication AND the same company that also sells your medication. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

Just did a price check online through Medicare.gov for #60 pregabalin (Lyrica) 75mg capsules utilizing the Part-D Plan @WellcarePlans
Walmart price = $34.47
CVS price = $33.60
Walgreens price = $33.60
Kroger price = $33.60
Genoa Healthcare (subsidiary of United Healthcare) = $12.45
Any independent pharmacy = $4.80
Does anyone see the problem here?
Is @WellcarePlans comfortable paying large chain pharmacies 7x more than an independent pharmacy for the same prescription medication?
Apparently they are.
So much for @ExpressScripts “negotiating” lower prices for Americans.
How many unsuspecting people get screwed when their local “cheap” pharmacy option closes because $4.80 doesn’t cover their operating expenses, let alone the cost of the drug?
Then their only options are Walgreens, Walmart, CVS where they get to pay over $30 for the same drug.
Small pharmacies aren’t negotiating to be the cheapest option. If we accept the insurance contract, they TELL US what we get to charge the patient.
Make it make sense! @DrOzCMS @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump @DrMakaryFDA @CMSGov
