@olsonplanner I was recently told to pay off my 3.75% interest rate mortgage (62K remaining) because savings account interest rates are going down but wouldn’t it be better to invest rather than have it in savings or paying off mortgage? I realize it’s not much money but still.

They’ve built a $3,000,000+ net worth They have a low mortgage rate & strong income So why do they want to pay it down? Because math isn’t the only variable From today’s new episode (listen on Apple or Spotify)

A 26-year-old woman presented with pain in her left elbow after falling on an outstretched hand while ice-skating. Physical examination revealed left lateral elbow swelling and tenderness to palpation, a valgus deformity, and limited range of motion. What findings are present on the imaging?

Democrats caused the problem, Republicans have the solution. @POTUS is completely right. Let’s lower premiums, give money to the patients not insurance companies, and make health care affordable again.

Regional upgrade certificates @Delta are virtually worthless at this point. I never make the cut on the waitlist as a diamond. Global certificates are now used for regional travel and delta sells seats until takeoff. I wish I had known when I chose these! No utility and I 4 left!

Michigan politicians @DebDingell and @GovWhitmer and all the others: Please fight these datacenters in rural areas. They will destroy our natural environment and steal our water and electricity.

@CaulfieldTim I was relieved when he was fired in July but then they reinstated him. He’s a contrarian idiot who loves to stoke controversy. He’s an embarrassment to all docs and I can’t believe UCSF tolerated him for so long.

I'm fascinated with psychology driving Prasad, Makary, Bhattacharya, Oz, etc. These individuals have a science background. They MUST know they're: - pushing harmful BS - enabling an authoritarian admin - their legacy is now darkness WTF is the motivation? Why do this? WHY?

Spent 3 months trying to get @AllianzTravelUS to pay for a 10 day baggage delay and rebooked flight. No luck. Don’t waste your $ on this company.

@SenBillCassidy well you’re the one who endorsed RFK and you have no solution for healthcare costs. Saying the insurance companies are bad isn’t a solution.

We have a choice: let patients control their own health care or let giant health insurance companies have that power. I pick the patient every time.

@Papa_Heme @DrDiGiorgio I don't have an expensive car, but this does not look like the type of car a doctor would drive, even as a resident

This is how the University of California system treats its doctors on call on the weekend (lot was empty by the way) Fortunately, worrying about getting a ticket or boot while on call is not something I worry about anymore ⁦@DrDiGiorgio⁩

There is zero reason for taxpayers to subsidize rich insurance companies. Let’s lower health care costs by allowing Americans to decide for themselves. A healthy 25-year-old shouldn’t pay the same insurance premium as an obese 50-year-old who smokes. 🤷 Full @SquawkCNBC:

Why is the world would you pay $1500 per month for health insurance that did not even cover a doctor’s visit until you met an $18,000 deductible? The one below it is $2,000 deductible but the premium is $5000 per month.!?! This is not “losing subsidies” this is losing your mind. This is not insurance. It’s a scam. #FundthePatient

Healthy people should consider opting out. Save your $30,000 - $50,000 a year and let it grow. Don't feed the beast. Consider joining a health care sharing group or @JoinCrowdHealth. Stay healthy, and pay cash for the care you need — at cash-based prices.
Alex Berenson@AlexBerenson

I wrote Friday that middling (unsubsidized) health insurance for a family is up to $30K a year. Wrong. Multiple people in high-cost states told me they're paying up to $50K. That's INSANE. American medicine is closer to breaking than we realize. Healthy people will just opt out

Is buying health insurance even worth it for the average family? Next year I'll pay $26,000 in premiums for a family of 3 Most families have a few doctor visits a year Seems like more & more people I talk to are just dropping coverage Thoughts?
