Covid misinfo-peddler, antivaxxer, and woo-woo supplement promoter, Peter McCullough, has had his American Board of Internal Medicine certifications stripped.
Long overdue.

Some people shouldn’t go out without their makeup on. And the new mullet doesn’t really work with hair transplants.

RETWEET if you want Joe Biden to declassify every single page the U.S. intelligence community has compiled on Donald Trump over the last 10 years, as well as every single page the Department of Justice has compiled on him over the last 10 years, as well as every page the FBI has.

@DutchRojas @calvinisasmith The whole MLR discussion is complicated by “shared savings” agreements. If they reduce overall spend, they may have to refund some premium. BUT they get a piece back (outside of MLR) from saving employer $. VP doesn’t see patients, bill ins. or wait to be paid. Ignore the fool.

@calvinisasmith Please ask alll the questions you like. This is supposed to be a community.
The evidence, by the equity markets, certainly supports your assertion.

I appreciate your medical expertise and insights! Let me share something crucial from 25 years in healthcare finance.
Most physicians I've worked with haven't been exposed to the coverage side of healthcare - and that knowledge could really strengthen private practices and physician-owned hospitals.
Quick breakdown on how coverage works:
Yes, denials DO generate revenues.
Here's why:
• Carriers must spend 80-85% on patient care (except self-funded plans)
• Each denied claim helps them hit these ratios and generate revenues.
• PBMs aren't bound by these rules, so drug denials = revenues.
Different rules for different plans:
- Individual/small group: 80% to care
- Large group/Medicare Advantage: 85% to care
- Self-funded employer plans: Different system entirely
Self-funded plans are interesting - the TPAs generate fees by processing claims, not denying them.
Understanding this side of healthcare isn't just about business - it's about being better equipped to serve patients and run sustainable practices.

@amyeasley91 @mass_marion You clearly miss the point. Either we are all investing equal stakes in this society, and all pay our fair share (more from those who have benefited more from what society provides), or inequality continues to grow. Long term, that is not sustainable. No one “needs” billions.
English
@runhack @mass_marion Even if you confiscated every penny from all those people you feel don’t need their money you still wouldn’t pay off the debt. We cannot eat the rich. There, I fixed it for you.

Stop 🛑 yelling for single payer, understand we 🇺🇸 already has a single payer… it’s ’we the people’ and we pay too much and get less every year.
If you want a clue that there’s no true free-market inside the healthcare system, realize that $629 for a bag of saline is because our supply chain is monopolized from within.
Inside hospitals it’s like that episode of M*A*S*H when they didn’t have penicillin… for about 250 drugs/solutions that should be cheap and plentiful.
How interesting that at those IV centers they’re not having any trouble getting saline.
Things that make you go ‘hmmmm..’

The Money Isn't Coming From Where You Think Pause for a moment and take a good look at your paycheck. That healthcare deduction? That's your hard-earned cash, not some magical insurance fairy dust. We've somehow tricked ourselves into believing that someone else is footing
English
@amyeasley91 @mass_marion We are already 36 trillion in debt. Now let’s give more tax breaks to those who have more money than they can ever use.
Fixed it for you.

@mass_marion We are already 36 trillion in debt. Now lets do “free” healthcare 🙄
English
Beautiful outcome! Thank you.
The disturbing question is: “Who is picketing the obscene profits when someone who doesn’t know better pays the $1000?”
PBMs are unnecessary middle men just existing to skim off healthcare dollars while not actually providing any care.

Sometimes it feels really good to get it right @costplusdrugs Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2024 Subject: Sincere thank you from a neurologist and his patient! Dear Mr. Cuban, My name is David Klein. I am a neurologist in Chicago at Advocate Healthcare. I hope you don't mind; I got your contact info from my younger sister Eva Roytburg, whom you had a correspondence with for Fortune magazine. I am emailing you to express both my and my patient's sincere gratitude for your website/pharmacy costplusdrugs.com! My patient is a 69-year-old wonderful gentleman whom I saw in the hospital just over a month ago and diagnosed a fairly rare but serious condition of hemi-chorea. The symptoms are constant uncontrollable movement of his left arm and leg all day every day which only go away when he sleeps. Because of this, he was unable to walk except for the use of a walker AND a one-person assist, he was unable to eat properly, he was unable to work as a truck driver and of course unable to drive. This is a difficult condition to diagnose and to treat. Luckily, he was able to have significant control of symptoms with a once daily pill called tetrabenazine. Not so luckily, his insurance would not cover the medication despite over 3 appeals and constant attempts I made to demonstrate medical necessity. Despite this, the family scraped together $1000 for a month supply, and his symptoms dramatically improved to the point that he could walk with just a cane. I had tried all the alternatives which were all second line medications anyway, and not only were they not effective, they gave him intolerable side effects, one of which if you would believe is actually a second movement disorder. I called multiple charitable foundations, I scoured goodrx, I even called the government to almost intervene with his insurance plan. I was despondent. Finally, one of my former junior residents sent me the link to your pharmacy costplusdrugs.com and I found the medication for $25 a month. Just in the nick of time, as he has 3 pills left. When I called him and his wife to tell them the good news last night, he exclaimed "God bless you and God bless this company!" I couldn't have said it better myself. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! This pharmacy and this access to medication when it was not available any other way is truly a blessing! All the best, Dr. Klein

Whatever you do, do NOT repost this - it would make Trump suuuuuper mad. Like ketchup-throwing mad.

I come from the era before work hour restrictions. During my surgery residency, I routinely spent well over 100 hours a week in the hospital and did every other night call on some rotations. It burned me out, and I nearly quit on more turn one occasion. It’s not healthy.

Yesterday is the day Donald Trump truly became an ex-president
The reviews are in for his neo-Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden and they're about the same as for his orange bronzer on Amazon

These headlines from major news orgs deserve significant awareness (Time, WSJ, Politico, CNN) but will get very few retweets - as they’ll be suppressed due to their linking out. “Speakers at Trump MSG rally insult minorities.”

@StephenM @LarrySabato Doing the Nazi’s work did not help the Kapos. They faced the same fate as the rest, if a bit later. You are only tolerated as long as they get a benefit from you. Then you had better watch out.

@LarrySabato As a Jew, let me just say that your spitting on the graves of my Jewish ancestors with your hate and lies reveals a sickness and depravity deep in your soul. Despicable. You personify the sickness and hatred of Kamala’s dark, angry campaign. Shame on you. Shame. Shame.

I love historical documentaries. I’m currently watching one about the 1939 pro-Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden. Oh wait, it’s a live Trump rally! My bad.

NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”

@mikebaldwin @jeremynewberger I long ago disposed of any papers documenting the brief time I worked at Jack in the Box. Nor did we have cell phone cameras to record every hiccup. There is no way I could prove that I worked there when I was in school. (But I should be able to prove how I got shot, T. Sheehy.)
English
@jeremynewberger Honest question: Has she proved that yet? I’ve been hearing Trump say she never worked there for many months now. Has she debunked him? Do we have any old paystubs or former managers or even a picture of her in any McDonald’s attire?
English
The fundamental difference between Trump and Kamala is that Kamala actually worked at McDonalds while Trump is playing dress up as someone who worked at McDonalds. It is pretty telling about Trump's whole outlook on people who work for a living.
